1. A box of hydrating face masks so you can trick people into thinking that you have your aesthetician on speed dial — but, actually, you just have these centella asiatica-enriched masks that help calm redness while boosting water levels in the skin.
Promising review: "Easy to apply. Really tightens skin right away. Washes up easily. Makes skin feel really soft and smooth." —Linda
"I was absolutely amazed after using this mask! It made my skin so soft! My pores were barely there; this mask tightened my skin and left it baby-smooth! This was only after one use! My makeup went on beautifully and lasted longer. After several uses, I can say the tightening effect has really left my skin firmer. The mask made my skin feel slightly itchy as it tightened. However, it did subside, and it didn’t irritate my face. I am loving how soft my skin is. And yes, it is still making my pores look nonexistent! Love it, would highly recommend. 💕💕" —Sarah

2. A Eucerin Redness Relief Night Creme since a rosy complexion is natural, but experiencing things like eczema or psoriasis on the face can feel uncomfortable. Eucerin is a dermatologist-loved brand that makes powerhouse products to help treat both eczema and psoriasis, and this night cream is no different, with ingredients like licorice root extract, to diminish redness and smooth the skin.
3. A Futurewise slugging balm I use every evening to make sure I wake up with plump, smooth skin in the a.m. Futurewise is all about slugging (the brand even has its own system), which is the practice of trapping moisture in the skin by applying an occlusive layer overtop. Slugging basically prevents trans-epidermal water loss (a fancy term for water evaporating from your skin) throughout the evening, and TikTokers rave about the practice. This formula contains plant-based oils that *feel* like good ol’ petroleum jelly without being derived from crude oils!
4. A pro-collagen cleansing balm, which uses oils to melt away all traces of a long day! This is great for all skin types, but especially for those with dry skin that want to avoid accidentally cleansing the skin's natural oils.
5. A Sunday Riley Luna sleeping oil that is a retinoid oil full of blue tansy (that calms breakouts) and retinol (that helps the skin renew and repair itself as you sleep)! Add this as the last step of your nighttime routine to seal in all the goodness of those hydrating serums underneath and watch your skin glow by morning.
6. A rose and hyaluronic acid moisturizer, because using a great moisturizer at night is key for waking up with glowing skin — still, if you have combination skin and squirm at the idea of using a moisturizer, know that you still must, just look for lighter options! This moisturizer will reintroduce any lost hydration after a long day, while the rose will help soothe irritation. All in a jar that'll last you all season long, yay!
7. A bottle of Skinergy's Skin BHavior Resurfacing Essence, because acne-prone dry skin exists, people! This is basically like your entire 10-step skincare routine wrapped up in one! With pore-clearing salicylic acid, elastin- and collagen-boosting retinol, brightening niacinamide, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and antioxidant-rich vitamins C and E, all you'll really need after this is a good moisturizer to seal it all in.
8. A nourishing "skin food" moisturizer that is technically a body cream, but works amazingly as an overnight moisturizing mask on the face. I've been using this at night for years, and I always wake up with even, dewy skin — no matter what.
9. A snail mucin serum since skin that's hydrated is happy —especially at night! Snail essence has long been a K-beauty secret for glowing, glass-like skin. Incorporate this into your routine after your toner and before your other serums to deliver a surge of jam-packed hydration.
10. A jar of ceramide capsules, because ceramides naturally occur in the skin to keep the moisture barrier intact! These capsules will support your barrier so that it can do its job of locking water into the skin for a smooth, plump complexion.
11. A set of gold under-eye masks for a brighter, smoother, and plumper under-eye moment before bed. The skin around the eyes is thinner than the rest of the face, making them more susceptible to trans-epidermal water loss. Eye masks like these are pretty much crucial for preventing that.
Promising review: "I got this as a gift and ended up loving it so much I had to get another box! I usually have really puffy eyes when I wake up in the morning and this eye mask has helped decrease the puffiness. The skin around my eyes also feels firmer after using these eye masks. Sometimes I would get dry patches next to my eyes after taking off my eye makeup, but these eye masks hydrate those areas so I haven't had the issue with dry skin since using the product. However, I unfortunately haven't seen much of a difference with my dark circles." —Amazon Customer

12. A Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum cream that'll smooth the skin and provide a lustrous dew that makes it look as though you're glowing from within from head-to-toe. Plus, it smells like a tropical vanilla getaway and the scent lingers on the skin long after use!
13. And on the topic of renewing, a L'Oreal collagen moisturizer, since collagen is one of the prime building blocks for new skin cells! With continued use, this moisturizer will help plump the complexion, and it's a great option if you have combination skin since it's relatively lightweight.
Promising review: "I admit I was skeptical about switching to a collagen moisturizer. Nonetheless, I’ve noticed that using it made my skin softer and better hydrated. During the winter, my skin didn’t dry out as easily as it did with my previous moisturizers. My skin is sensitive, and this product has been beneficial for it. On top of all that, I also noticed that incorporating this product and retinol into my skincare routine has also significantly decreased the appearance of the fine lines on my forehead. I have just finished one of these and am currently using this same product again. 10/10 would recommend to others!" —Ghia

14. A reparative Dr. Jart+ tiger grass cream I swear by for getting rid of any redness or irritation that comes along with breakouts. This formula contains cica, otherwise known as tiger grass, which helps soothe inflammation while being gentle enough for those with sensitive skin.
15. A refreshing toner mist made with grapes to plump the skin, and rose oil to add a layer of soothing protection. This is one of the best sprays I've ever tried — whether I'm toning my skin, setting my makeup, or just going in for a midday refreshing spritz, this spray has provided me with an unmatchable glow for years.
16. A vitamin C-enriched sunscreen that, get this, doesn't feel chalky on dry skin and has a double-whammy of protecting your skin against UV rays, plus free radicals and environmental stressors! If you live in a popping city, a product like this is an absolute must.
17. A L'Occitane almond shower oil to whisk away dead skin cells and leave the skin feeling moisturized and smelling like heaven. Reviewers swear by this skincare essential that'll make your shower routine feel a little more luxurious.
18. A plumping moisturizer if you need a thiccc moisturizer to guide you through the night. This formula is rich, yes, but still has a breathable feel. Plus, ingredients like hyaluronic acid and an Okinawan algae blend work to repair the moisture barrier and hydrate the deeper layers of the skin.
19. A glow-enhancing sunscreen, because protecting your skin against harmful UV rays doesn't mean having to sport an SPF that leaves behind a white cast. This formula is tinted and has sparkle-free shimmer inside to make your skin radiate.
20. A La Roche-Posay repairing moisturizer if your skin is not only dry but in desperate need of some soothing, too. Inside this squeezable tube are ceramides to plump your skin as you snooze away *and* niacinamide, an ultra-calming ingredient that helps diminish uneven skin tones. There's no wondering why this is a French pharmacy beauty staple.
Promising review: "While I can’t speak to the mattifying effects I do think this is a nice gel moisturizer. It feels moisturizing but not too light, it works well for me in the winter months as well. Simple product that does the job." —Amazon Customer

21. And Glow Recipe's Niacinamide Dew Drops Brightening Serum people love for adding an instant glass-like finish to their skin. But this serum has potential long-term benefits, too — it contains niacinamide, which can help fade hyperpigmentation over time.
22. A hydrating overnight mask, because the skin regenerates and takes care of itself while you sleep, folks, so it never hurts to give it a helping hand! Wake up with a glowing complexion, courtesy of this formula's moisturizing squalane and brightening vitamin C.
23. A nourishing overnight lip mask that I love to use on my perpetually dry lips. This formula adds a cute glossy sheen to the lips *and* plumps them up with hydrating squalane and shea butter. Your lips are left pillowy soft, and the results last for hours.
24. And an SPF lip balm since *all* of your skin needs protection from the sun, even your pout! This moisturizing lip balm locks hydration into the lips for a smooth finish and has a whopping SPF 30 inside. (Most sun-protectant lip products only go up to 15, even though the recommended amount is 30–50!)
25. A marine algae eye cream that'll help you look like you actually had eight hours of sleep! This cream contains pink algae to plump the skin with hydration.
26. A bottle of Bio-Oil Multi-Use Skincare Oil — it helps to fade dark spots on the face, but is also an industry-leading moisturizing oil that can help diminish scars on the body, too!
27. And an antioxidant serum perfect if your skin is not only dry but prone to redness and irritation, too. This serum is one I reach for regularly since it contains vitamins A and C to ward off free radicals and provide antioxidant protection. What's more, it contains olive leaf extract and vitamin E to hydrate even the dryest of skin!
