1. A Mario Badescu rosewater facial spray (my personal favorite skincare treat) for anyone whose skin wants a drink as much as their body does. Use this for reviving and hydrating your skin with a simple, soothing, spritz.
So many of my coworkers also rave about this product! Check out why this is a life changing beauty product in this in depth-review.
Promising review: "I will admit that I am not the best when it comes to knowing what skincare products to buy (and that the only reason I chose this one was because I heard that the Kardashians use it), but I swear by this stuff. I even find my boyfriend stealing it from me. It gives your face the perfect day look while setting your makeup. I always feel so much more refreshed with just a spray or two of this. I keep a travel-size version in my purse for mid-day work spritz-ups." —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $5.25+ (available in five size packs).
2. An invigorating coffee scrub for anyone who has ~bean~ meaning to add a strong exfoliation solution to their beauty routine.
Promising review: "I have been using this exfoliant on my face, hands, elbows/knees, legs, and feet. The smell is amazing and I have found it to be super moisturizing on my skin's rough spots. I am satisfied with this product. And the price point is nice as well, compared to others on the market." —Michelle Williams
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine scents).
3. A caffeinated butt mask that'll wake up your skincare system if you've been a bit behind on your routine lately.
4. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution — this stuff is gonna clear up redness, bumps, and razor burn, making shaving a much smoother process.
Promising review: "This product has worked GREAT on my armpits where I had big, painful, gross, inflamed and embarrassing hair follicles for YEARS! I use a dollar shave razor now, changed every couple of weeks with Tend Skin after every shower and before deodorant. Miracles!" —A User
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes).
5. A moisturizing cream from CeraVe for healing your dehydrated, chapped skin on a budget. Don't feel like you have to splurge to get great skincare — this steal of a deal has the National Eczema Seal of Acceptance!
Promising review: "I developed a dry, patchy area on the side of my mouth, but figured it was dry skin due to winter. After a week it spread to my chin and other side of my mouth. I thought it would go away on its own but then three weeks passed. I tried moisturizers and coconut oil but nothing worked! I was frustrated and embarrassed by this patchy, scaley skin on my face! As a last-ditch effort I tried CeraVe and it worked! It was much better after two days! It's now a month later and it's still gone!" —Kathleen
Get it from Amazon for $17.78.
6. A hyaluronic acid serum – it's gonna save your dry skin, because it has *intense* hydrating properties that improve a dry complexion's softness, smoothness, and ability to retain moisture. I feel soothed just thinking about it.
Promising review: "I've used several different kinds of serums for my face and this is my favorite so far. I use it right after my bath when my pores are open from the hot water and then apply my moisturizer right on top of it. My face normally gets very dry in the winter, but since I began using this serum it has been a lot better. It seemed like such a tiny bottle when I got it, but a little bit of this stuff goes a long way. I've been using it for several months now and still have half a bottle left." —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in four sizes).
7. A bottle of Biossance's Squalane + Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night serum, aka beauty sleep in a bottle, designed to brighten up skin overnight and put Sleeping Beauty to shame.
This uses AHA to gently exfoliates skin and anti-inflammatory squalane to reduce redness and irritation.
Promising review: "This has been working wonderfully for my extremely sensitive skin. I use it every other night and it really does make a visible difference immediately. New staple in my skincare routine." —HOLLY M.
Get it from Biossance for $62.
8. A foot peel mask that'll be massively ap-peal-ing if you could use a pedicure but still don't want to socialize in the upcoming months.
Promising review: "These foot masks have helped me save loads at the salon. I love soft pretty feet, but they aren’t cheap. I am also so ticklish that pedicures are challenging for the poor people working on my feet. While these masks aren’t fast, the extra time is well worth the time and savings. I wear the mask for an hour as instructed, and then just shower or bath as usual. After three days you notice the dead skin peeling off and in a week my feet are salon soft and smooth. I have sensitive skin and worries this product might cause a negative reaction, but my worries were for nothing. Happy feet, and happy wallet." —Sommer Thyme
Get it from Amazon for $23.95.
9. A TikTok-famous oil-reducing face roller with less ecological impact than oil-blotting papers and results like your oily skin has never seen before.
Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
10. A pack of SPF-sensing stickers so you can be certain you are reapplying sunscreen often enough. I've had enough brutal sunburns *while* putting on sunscreen during the day to know how valuable these stickers really are.
Promising review: "I'm multi-racial with tan skin. I burn when it's intense, but I get a great tan otherwise. My 9-month-old is fair, fair, fair. Blue eyes and porcelain skin fair. I reapply my own SPF 50 after a few hours, but I'm not consistent. I've never been great about sunscreen, but I was not going to let my daughter get burned. We live in South Florida and just a walk or park time is a potential burning hazard. This is a great visual for me to reapply her sunscreen or make sure she gets in the shade. They're an absolute essential for parents, especially the 'sun goddess' type." —FlightLife
Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three pack sizes).
11. A tattoo aftercare salve that'll make both colored and monochrome tattoos look out of this world lovely. This soothes, protects, and enhances the look of your ink, both fresh and faded.
I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff!
Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank.
Promising review: "Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." —Janson Ward
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three scents).
12. A face mask set sure to make your skin so soft you won't be able to help but feel ~dead~ inside when you think of all the years you've gone without this magic in your skincare routine.
Promising review: "This was definitely an interesting experience and I am highly satisfied with the results! After the treatment, the wrinkles at the corner of my eye and mouth are immensely decreased in depth, as well as my under eye. My skin felt so soft and smooth and my pores were tiny!" —Angiechantae
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
13. A Bliss Jelly Glow Peel – it's 100% cruelty free and made from quality ingredients (we're talkin' fruit enzymes, coconut fruit extract, vitamin B5, and niacinamide). It's gonna scrub deeep down into your pores, giving you some sweeet exfoliation. It's smooth sailing from here on out, folks!
Promising review: "It’s important to exfoliate your face so that when you use your serums, oils and creams they can all be absorbed properly. This product is amazing. Immediately my dead skin was balling up and after washing off, my skin was glowing! Blackheads were removed and my dry skin patches smoothed. I slept with a moisture mask and in the morning I was like a new woman." —Alexandra L Plazas
Get it from Amazon for $9.49 (available in multiple pack sizes).
14. A hydrating coconut milk bath with a blended balance of magnesium, potassium, sulfur, zinc and other natural elements – all designed to increase circulation and "detoxify" the body. A milk bath that beneficial? BRB, I've gotta go drink this all in.
15. A pack of pimple patches can blast away blemishes in the blink of an eye.
Promising review: "OK, these things are truly miracle workers! They are now a staple in my medicine cabinet! I get really big, cysty pimples that are super deep and painful a couple times a month. IF I can not pick at them, which is a struggle if I'm honest, I can get them to go away in about three days with these patches and some inexpensive acne cream. I go through the larger sizes pretty fast because the patch needs to be a good bit bigger than the pimple to stick really well. You'll absolutely see visible reduction in size and get tremendous pain relief overnight. I would highly recommend!" —Courtney Maddox
Get a 40-pack from Amazon for $8.49.
16. A pack of dissolving microneedle eye patches that'll soak into the surface layers of your skin, helping fade the appearance of fine lines while also eliminating dryness. So go ahead and stay up all night bingeing Bluey, no one will know!
Promising review: "I am hooked! I hope that eventually a four or six pack is offered. I do feel it's on the pricier side, but worth it for sure. I love that I can keep it on all night and for sure see great results in the morning. I am only on week two and seeing a difference on my under eyes." —Nancy
Get a pair from Skyn Iceland for $14 (also available in a five-pack).
17. A pack of five bikini line sheet masks with honey extract, niacinamide, and rose extract soaked into a biocellulose sheet for soothing frustrated bikini lines *and* preventing ingrown hairs. These sheets will eliminate those post-shaving bumps and splotches around your nether regions.

18. A pack of collagen facial masks soaked in vitamin E, minerals, and collagen to hydrate dull, dry skin. If you love face masks but hate the mess of washing them off...guess what? These are about to be your new favorite thing.
19. An O'Keeffe's hand cream is gonna make your skin so smooth you might forget you once had hands as dry as your humor.
Promising review: "Does this product need another 5-star review? Nope. But I had to. This is truly a miracle product!! I have the driest skin in the winter. To the point I will look down at my hands to notice they are bleeding from all the various cracks. This product made a major difference after just one using! Here I am weeks later and my hands have no cracks, look younger and are no longer red. Can O'Keeffe's fix potholes too!?!" —P. Neuber
Get it from Amazon for $6.98.
20. An Andalou Naturals pumpkin honey glycolic mask with some *tasty* vitamin C. Swipe this satisfying stuff onto your skin and your face'll feel like it's drinking a hearty glass of OJ. Um, yum.
Promising review: "I've used the mask a couple times so far and I really do like it. I can mostly tell the next morning after using it, when my skin has a nice glow (which I haven't had in years due to acne and troubled skin). This product is really gentle!" —Jane Freeman
Get it from Amazon for $11.19 (available in six formulas).
21. A Skin Scrubber Spatula so you can have a spa-worthy facial without leaving the house! This nifty tool removes dirt, oil, and gunk from your pores while massaging your skin. Delicious.
This comes with two silicone covers — one that'll assist with tightening and one to give your skin a deep clean.
Promising review: "I never write reviews but I could not pass this one up. I have been fighting with my skin for years! After my last pregnancy, I started developing cystic acne, my skin was congested with oil, whiteheads, blackheads, you name it. All those years of desperately doing my own extractions, trying every mask, cleanser, device, my skin was left scarred and discolored - I hated the texture of my skin. I impulsively bought this and tried it the day it was delivered. I was amazed at how well it extracted all the gunk I could and couldn't see lurking under my skin. I use it every night to cleanse, then apply my serum and moisturizer. I am finally happy with the way my skin looks and posted a selfie without a filter for the first time since I can remember. Just try it!" —Marlena H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.54+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "This scrub is so great! The scrub is full of quality oils like coconut, argan and rosehip, so it leaves your skin so soft and glowy. I didn't need to use any moisturizer after as my skin felt so moisturized I didn't need it! The sugars really exfoliate too but are gentle enough for both your face and body. I feel like it truly made a difference in my skin. The smell is really nice too – lavender and mint. I love this product and will definitely order more!" —Farrahn Cuneo
Get it from Cosmic Skincare on Etsy for $32.34.

Promising review: "I've been searching for the longest time for a sunscreen that doesn't feel greasy, make me oily, or cause me to breakout. I was hesitant to purchase this because of the higher price point and small size, but it is totally worth it. This is the only sunscreen I've tried that feels nice on my skin! I use it daily and haven't experienced any breakouts or sunburn." —mckenna
