    2. A pack of eyebrow-shaping razors so you can effortlessly remove any unwanted hair. It can be used on your chin, neck, face, and even your body if you want! This super easy tool will be great in a flash when you notice that one pesky hair you forgot to tweeze.

    3. A CeraVe face moisturizer infused with SPF 30 sunscreen for ultimate UV protection and hyaluronic acid to boost and lock in hydration. It works well on all skin types — oily to dry — and its fragrance-free, gentle ingredients help restore soft skin without causing irritations or breakouts. The best part? It absorbs quickly and won't leave a white cast on your skin.

    4. A facial roller that's designed to reduce puffiness by stimulating lymphatic drainage in your face and neck. It is said to increase blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and improve skin elasticity for softer, smoother, and more relaxed skin!

    5. A Thayers toner for those looking for a quick and easy way to cleanse, moisturize, and reduce inflammation.

    6. A pack of spot treatment patches because we've all had an acne breakout days before a big event. Applying this hydrocolloid patch before bed creates a protective layer over the skin and absorbs oil, dirt, and pus.

We love a product that does the work while we snooze.
