Use these bestselling energizing collagen eye masks to give you the bright-eyed look of someone who for sure slept more than eight hours last night and ~definitely~ did not stay up late watching Disney+.

3. Give your skin a good scrubbin' with these silicone pore cleansing pads that are a hypoallergenic and lightweight, and don't have any abrasive brushes or harmful microbeads. This is one trick I've picked up from my mom that I want to shout from the rooftops about!
Each pad has two separate sections on it — use the flexible little silicone hairs on wider areas (like the forehead or cheeks), while the smaller flat bubbles are awesome for detail work, like at the hairline or around the nose. Plus, the handle doubles as a tiny suction cup, so you can easily attach this baby to your bathroom mirror or shower stall.

7. Get skin smoother than a baby's bottom with some Cosrx poreless power liquid. It has a refreshing cooling effect that tightens pores and controls your skin's production of sebum (the gunky stuff that clogs pores).
It uses a combination of all-natural willow bark water and a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) to help break down any build-up on the skin's surface. Their acne patches are also SUPER popular!

17. Create a homemade lip scrub using cane sugar and raw honey, and rub gently into your lips. The sugar will exfoliate any dry skin, while the honey soothes cracks and sores, and restores moisture.
If cane sugar is a bit too rough, you can also use caster sugar, which has finer grains.
Get the cane sugar on Amazon Canada for $12.99, and the raw honey for $26.88.

The texture is a bit unlike regular deodorants, though, but don't be alarmed! Just apply to skin for a few seconds until it warms up, and then use as normal. There's also a charcoal and magnesium formula, too, if you're not into floral scents.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $7.97.

It also won't irritate skin OR clog pores. Pink lemon and mandarin peel extracts will give you a jolt of energy, too!
Get it on Amazon Canada for $3.98+ (available in three scents).
28. Apply a few drops of this radiance-restoring facial serum that'll help neutralize pollution, diminish dark circles, accelerate collagen regeneration, reduce redness, and even fade acne scars — all while using natural, skin-loving ingredients like rosehip and hemp oil. Reviewers love how effective it is at shrinking pores, too!

Get a 14ml bottle on Amazon Canada for $39.99.
29. Mix a cup or so of sea salt with a couple drops of your favourite essential oils to create a homemade body scrub. It'll help slough away dry skin without any chemicals, and leave you smelling great all day long!
I'd avoid using this on your face, though, as it might be a touch abrasive. If you're looking to add a dose of moisture to the scrub, try a spoonful of coconut oil or shea butter!
Get the essential oils on Amazon Canada for $24.95, and the sea salt for $3.33.
