You're unlikely to think "huh, I can't tell if this is working," when these powerhouses are involved.
1. A box of Grace & Stella under-eye masks formulated with hyaluronic acid and glycerin to give your eye bags the shot of hydration they need to get up and GO. Reviewers said the refreshing patches helped them reduce puffiness, redness, and dark circles. Spa day, anyone?
The blue patches are illuminating eye masks (for dull under eyes). The gold patches are energizing eye masks (for tired under eyes). The pink patches are moisturizing eye masks (for dry under-eyes).
Promising review: "I have tried many eye masks through the years and was pleasantly surprised by this product. It's worth the hype. I'm a skincare lover and have spent tens of thousands on skin products, including LED red light masks, infrared saunas, and every new facial device that has come along, including high-end skincare and everything in between. I have eye bags and hollows, and these do a phenomenal job at plumping and hydrating the under-eye area. Great quality and quantity for the price. I will be repurchasing." — Nvohpa88

2. Twinkled T Nail Honey — a soon-to-be cult-classic that reviewers love for its effectiveness and cute packaging (the keychain version comes with a lil' puffy flower charm!). With the help of jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, and argan oil, the rosemary-smelling formula moisturizes, strengthens, and encourages nail growth. That gel manicure you peeled off? Not such a big deal now.
Promising review: "Love this! It's so cute, easy to use, and smells great. Best of all, it really works! I never knew my nails needed moisturizing until I was told and am now seeing that they look and feel so much better. Highly recommend Nail Honey!" — rani
Get the keychain from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in three other styles).
3. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm made with a blend of pearl barley and vitamin E to completely obliterate every speck of makeup on your face. Seriously, you'll feel so fresh and baby-faced, you'll wonder if that eyeliner was really as smudge-proof as you previously thought.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Juno & Co. is a small business specializing in personal care and skincare products.
Promising review:"I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok, and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off, but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes, that includes Micellar Water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1000/10 would recommend!!!" — Deetje Frederick
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
4. Veet sensitive hair removal gel kindly providing a soothing, gentle alternative to razors or waxing. The aloe-infused formula works in under 10 minutes by dissolving hair on your legs, arms, back, and bikini area. It's designed to be more efficient and reduce the risk of in-grown hairs — imagine a world without those annoying bumps!
www.amazon.com
It comes with a spatula for removing the cream. Just be sure to test a small area of your skin and make sure there are no adverse reactions for 24 hours. Avoid face, genitals, nipples, and other sensitive areas.
Promising review:"I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." — Crystal
Get it from Amazon for $9.47 (also available in a two-pack).
5. A reviewer-loved scar gel made with panthenol to encourage skin regeneration and allantoin to moisturize and help speed up the healing process. The formula even works on older scars and can also be used to soothe burns, sunburns, and tattoos.
Promising review:"This product is awesome!!! I have been using it for a couple of months for acne scars and I have seen a huge reduction in scarring, depth of scars, and redness/color of scarring. My skin is smoother, the color is much more even, my skin never breaks out anymore, and the scars that I still have aren't really noticeable. I use it a.m. and p.m. I had given up that anything would help my acne scars. I have tried tons of products. This product is amazing!!!" — bkm61
Get it from Amazon for $14.50.
6. E.l.f Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, which creates tubing around your lashes to make them appear longer, thicker, and darker. The lightweight "extensions" won't smudge or weigh down your actual lashes and — best of all — they fall right off when you wash your face. No one likes having to scrub their eyes raw trying to get off waterproof makeup. :(
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this mascara and says: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black."
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades).
7. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil, a perfect first step in your double cleansing routine. It dissolves makeup, attacks blackheads, and works to remove excess sebum without stripping away natural oils or drying out your skin. Gross but intriguing: Reviewers say that they could actually see the gunk leaving their skin.
The heartleaf extract soothes sensitive and acne-prone skin. The brand recommends you follow this up with a foaming cleanser!
Promising review:"This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I'm so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for two to three minutes, I could visibly see my white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin, however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom and my scarring doesn't look as deep! The cleanser has a light clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua Heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" — Myshel Cagle
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
8. A Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes. The lightweight, color-adapting formula blends so seamlessly under makeup that your old concealer will throw itself out.
Bonus: They just released two new shades, so people with darker complexions can finally try it!
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T.
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).
9. Soft spiral curlers ready to help people with medium to long hair achieve bouncy curls without a lick of heat damage. Reviewers say they're (relatively) comfortable to sleep in, can control frizz, and keep hair curled for several days straight.
To use, wet and detangle your hair before winding in the curlers. Don't remove the curlers until your hair is completely dry, or it might get frizzy.
Promising reviews: "Love the curls, and even day two looks good!!! It took a few tries to get a good rhythm, but it doesn't take long to do my whole head. I wet my hair before using these and sleep in them. When I remove the curlers, I twist the curls to reform them and use a frizz controller. No hairspray, gel, or mousse needed!" — SCA and Teacher
"I have super thick hair, and it's about down to the middle of my back when wet. It's also pretty curly/wavy, just very haphazard and not in a cute way. I tried these as an alternative to curling every single strand. I'm in love. Took me MAYBE 20 minutes to put them all in, and they came out BEAUTIFULLY on the very first try!" — Mackenzie
Get a pack of 40 from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two colorways).
10. An easy-to-apply, one-hour self-tanner that's cheaper yet more effective than most competitors. The vegan formula is easy to blend without streaks or uneven patches, which makes it a hit with beginners. While the tan may be instant, the fade is nice and gradual.
Promising reviews: 'If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!' — Amazon Customer
"I wish I had taken a photo of my results but I was so excited that I forgot. Anyone who says it doesn't work just isn't doing it right. Super even color. Not orange. I LOVE IT. 10/5 stars!" — Meg
Get it from Amazon for $8.50+ (available in 10 styles).
11. A TikTok-loved lip plumper set with day and night serums that work together to give your pout a boost. Use the minty one at night to hydrate and smooth and then the tingly ginger one to give your lips a little more volume.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I discovered this product from TikTok, and I had to give it a try. I tried the day lip plumper, and within a few seconds, there was a subtle tingling/burning that lasted for a few minutes, but as it occurred, the plumping started to happen! It made a noticeable difference and made my lips look like I had filler! I'm obsessed!!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
12. An Elizavecca collagen coating hair protein treatment that takes your dry, tired hair and turns it into the silky-soft locks you've always wanted. Just apply it to wet hair after shampooing, wait five minutes, rinse, and wonder why all hair treatments don't work this well.
Promising review:"My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good I really missed the soft texture. This works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel-dried it, worked about two quarter-sized dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair, which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough looking, but I woke up and my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product, I have long, fine hair but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." — Ellie
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
13. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to pamper your décolletage with some special skincare attention. The glycerin and aloe hydrate while the salicylic acid gently exfoliates, leaving firmer, softer skin.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It's not only soothing, but it also feels like it's really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus! I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with dryness or discomfort in their neck and chest area. It's become a must-have in my skincare routine." — JAcosta
Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a two-pack).
14. Cosrx's snail mucin repairing essence that harnesses the power of snail slime (it's formulated with 96.3% snail secretion filtrate — yum!) to deliver lightweight hydration for all skin types. Over 55,000 5-star reviewers love the glow they get from this.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This highly concentrated formula contains 96.3% snail secretion filtrate, which helps repair damage while moisturizing your skin.
Promising reviews: "Seen all the great reviews on this product. It's been all over TikTok and I had to get it before it's nowhere to be found lol! I've been using this along with their moisturizer, and OMG, holy glass skin!!!! This product is AMAZING and leaves my skin so soft and glowy!! It's a MUST-HAVE in your skincare regimen!!" — Elisa
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
15. L'Oréal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water bringing you silkier hair in just eight seconds. On top of a wave of hydration, it also adds shine and decreases frizz and static. Spring rain can try to frizz up your hair all it wants, but you'll be prepared!
www.amazon.com
Use this treatment two or three times a week — one dose for fine to medium textured hair, two to three doses for thick to curly textured hair, and add one more dose if you have long hair.
Promising review:"Bought this not expecting that it would work. I've been using products in and on my hair for years, both expensive and inexpensive. This is the best I've used, bar none! It smooths and takes away the tightness of the curls. Will buy it again and again!" — Judith Cohen
Get it from Amazon for $10.97.
16. A set of glittery gel nail polishes to help you master the coveted cat eye look. You can make your nails look like gemstones or faraway galaxies with the right technique!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
To get the cat-eye effect, apply one layer, cure with a UV light for one minute, add a second layer and use the included magnet to move the glitter into the desired formation. Some reviewers say the magnet isn't quite strong enough, so you might want to grab this magnet kit as well.
Promising review: "I've been doing my nails for years, and this was so fast and fun to use. I always wanted cat eye polishes in my collection and this was perfect! Especially for Christmas time! I will say they are thick and I'm guessing that's because it's pigmented and packed with the little magnetic bits for maximum shine and glimmer. I feel like I have the northern lights on my nails! I would recommend playing on a few test nails beforehand to get a handle on the different patterns you can make with the magnet. Overall, would recommend it for anyone wanting something easy and fun!" — Hailey
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $19.98 (also available in five magnetic color sets, along with other styles).
17. A Revlon volcanic face roller way easier to use than those disposable blotting pads. You just roll the volcanic stone over any oily or greasy areas on your face and then pop it in your bag for later. It doesn't even mess with your makeup!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Just twist the ring to pop out the stone, then wash it with a mild soap/cleanser and let it air dry after every use.
Promising review:" This little miracle worker is a game-changer for oily skin like mine. I am amazed at how much oil it absorbs without smudging or removing any of my makeup. Every time I think this oil-eating monster has had its fill and surely I should get a new one, by the next morning, the oil has disappeared, and the roller looks brand new again!! MAGIC!!" — Jason Zapata
Get it from Amazon for $8.18 (also available in rose quartz style).
18. Lottabody Wrap Me Curl Mousse, a whipped-cream-like delight that defines curls, moisturizes with shea and coconut oil, and tackles frizz. The foam makes it super easy to distribute throughout your hair, and the heavenly scent will make you feel like you're on a tropical vacation.
This works best for wavy and curly hair. Check out its result on TikTok.
Promising reviews: "I have tried many different types of foam and mousse, but this is my holy grail. I plop my hair in a microfiber wrap for about 10 min, scrunch out any excess water, section my hair into two sections, and apply four pumps of this mousse to each section, scrunching each time. Once it's applied, I squeeze my hair once more with my microfiber and diffuse on low heat until it's 80% dry, and I'm left with lovely curls. I apply no other products, just my shampoo, conditioner, and this mousse. :)" — Ashes
Get it from Amazon for $3.98.
19. A mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen that's way more convenient than a painful trip to the dentist or an annoying attempt at the strips. Just brush your teeth with the bristled pen whenever you have a minute to work through stains and discoloration (without sensitivity, according to reviewers).
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This product actually works! Very affordable, too. There are a lot of expensive teeth whitening products out there, but why spend extra money when you don't have to? Definitely worth trying!" — Mona L Cureton
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.
20. Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, a TikTok-hall-of-famer that almost 80,000 5-star reviews confirm is worth the hype. The biotin-infused serum can help strengthen hair and encourage new growth, leaving hair feeling healthier and fuller. Reviewers say it's helped with everything from receding hairlines to sparse eyebrows.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
You can read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic — plus, according to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil comparable to Rogaine in helping with hair growth.
Promising reviews: "I hardly write reviews, but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow, just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I've been using it only once a week, just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this, hats off!!" — Dee
Get it from Amazon for $9.33.
21. A jar of O'Keeffe's Working Hands cream with beeswax and glycerin to give you the baby soft hands you haven't seen since you were, well, a baby.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Loved how it healed my dry and cracked fingers. Works quickly! This cream is wonderful — my fingers would not heal without it. Found it years ago and continue to use it when needed. I also bought the body cream which I like very much. Works great on dry skin!! Highly recommend both!" — Happy at 77
Get it from Amazon for $9.18.
22. A metallic liquid eyeliner that reviewers say doesn't smudge and is super easily to apply, thanks to its precise tip. Now you can jump on the chrome eyeliner trend even if you're kind of a makeup newbie.
Promising review: "I've already bought two sets of three, and I am absolutely IN LOVE. The color is vibrant and with a coat or two, is set to stay for the long haul. The brush makes the product easy to apply and adds a little magic to an everyday look. I feel like a corporate fairy walking around my business casual job in a pencil skirt and this splash of whimsy across my eyelids. 10/10." — andrea
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 16 colors; also available in gel form and multipacks).
23. A pomade hair wax stick for flattening those annoying flyaway hairs on the back of your neck or around your hairline. Just slide the formula over targeted areas to control cowlicks, baby hair, frizz, and other wayward strands.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair which I love but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I'm not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it's a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don't need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." — Blanca Perez
"I have 4A-4B curls. When my hair is straight, there are a few spots that are a little frizzier than others which to me, isn't a big deal. Some flyaways however were the biggest reason why I got this. It lays the baby hairs and is a little bit of a heavier product. I will say, you just have to be careful if you're not used to using heavy product. The first time I used it, I just put a little in my hands and then put it where it was needed." — Jay
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in multipacks).
24. Or Ebin New York edge control gel to help lay edges and baby hairs for a sleek look without the unwanted flaking and residue. It hydrates and helps strengthen your hair with the power beeswax and castor oil, and can be used on both wet and dry hair.
Amazon
BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they way want to! Check out " Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna."
Promising review:"Hands-down! The best edge control I have ever used, and I have used a lot of them. Stayed all day! No flakes and nongreasy! And this one is not even the strongest in the line. Love this product!" — Seabea2013
Get it from Amazon for $4.30+ (available in seven sizes).
25. A Medix retinol body lotion because if retinol works so well for your face, it's gotta do wonders for the rest of your body too. With the help of ferulic acid, it encourages skin cell turnover to help tighten and firm skin.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn't itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It's not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." — TickTokAlice
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two-pack).
26. Kojic acid dark spot remover soap that harnesses the power of iconic ingredients hyaluronic acid, retinol, shea butter, vitamin E, and Castile olive oil to hydrate and diminish the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, and blemishes. Use it on your face, hands, neck, bikini area, inner thighs, and underarms to achieve a glowier, more even complexion.
Promising reviews:"I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It's been a month of using the bar every time I shower and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I'm so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this thing works and it works fast!" — puppbear
"I started using this product one month ago. I use it all over my body [and] it lightened my underarms just in time for spring. I wish I knew about this sooner." — Michaella Leyein
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in larger multipacks).
27. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel in case you've always wanted to not only drink the energizing tea, but also wear it. This cult-fave can help quickly minimize eye puffiness and swelling using its combination of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. Finally, your eyes can look and feel as refreshed as you do after a bottle of White Label.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don't have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
28. A Revlon hot air brush for when you wanna look like you have an in-home stylist at your beck and call. Glossy, effortless waves are just a few brushes away!
Promising reviews:"I am a licensed cosmetologist of 30+ years, and I couldn't be more pleased! Salon-perfect, shiny, bouncy blowouts! Dries and styles in one or two easy passes ( on damp hair) and provides maximum lift if I style it that way. Easily dries and styles large sections of hair making this THE BEST hairstyling tool! Highly recommend! I use the low setting and cool blast. Surprised and very happy that I don't need med/high settings. Only caveat I have come across so far: the temp/speed setting is in an awkward place to be able to change it while using. Learning curve, I suppose. Otherwise, another GREAT styling tool from Revlon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️" — ERJ
"This review is for all the Black women looking for a good blow dryer for their hair. I have 4C (mainly) natural hair and got tired of using the regular dryers because they made my arms tired. I have thick, long hair, so blowdrying takes forever for me. This blow dryer was wonderful. I didn't even have to detangle before using it, and it dried my hair very nicely. I love it so much. My only complaint is it is bigger than I expected it to be. A little bulk,y but I will get used to it. Overall, I am loving this hair dryer so far and am glad I made the investment." — Johniece Elbert
Get it from Amazon for $32.43+ (available in three styles and five colors).
29. A Briotech spray that uses hypochlorous acid, an ingredient found naturally in our white blood cells, to help strengthen your skin barrier and soothe rashes, sunburns, rosacea, eczema, and other skin irritations. It's similar to certain spendier refresh sprays, but without the cute bottle tax.
BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings.
Promising reviews: "This is a [swap] for the Tower 28 spray that's 28 bucks for 4 ounces. I use this after cleansing my face before toners or serums. It's healed my acne. Also great for eczema. I have recommended this to so many people. Thanks, Biotech, for saving me money! Lifelong customer here." — Chey
"Just an FYI, this product has the exact same ingredients as the Tower 28 spray! It's been absolutely amazing at reducing acne and texture! It's also so refreshing and gives a lil glow. So in love!" — BK
Get an 8-ounce bottle from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in four other sizes and multipacks).
30. A Skin1004 Zombie Pack to bring your skin back to life in a good, non-horror movie way. The mask tightens as it dries, creating a fun undead look (just like the more expensive Hanacure). When you wash it off, you might be pleasantly surprised to see bouncier, more hydrated skin.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This mask is made with albumin, a component from eggs that helps moisturize skin. It claims to help tighten pores, hydrate, promote elasticity, remove dead skin, and balance pH. To use, mix the included powder and liquid together with a brush. Spread the mixture evenly over your face and leave until it begins to dry. Wash after 10 or 15 minutes, and enjoy your freshly hydrated face!
Promising review:"I was gifted the Hanacure masks and loved them, but they're just way too pricey. I heard SO many wonderful things about the Skin 1004 zombie mask, and at about $2.50 a pop, why not?! Let me tell you, this mask is just straight-up magic. I didn't notice any changes to my skin immediately, but a few hours later, when I looked in the mirror, I was shocked at how wonderful my skin looked. I've never noticed a difference like this. Hanacure who?!?? don't get me wrong, the Hanacure mask is amazing and magical, too, but it's expensive and impossible to maintain the twice-weekly mask schedule recommended. This Zombie mask is every bit as magical with better results in my opinion. And it's super funny. A lot of the reviews mention a bad smell, which I was worried about, but I didn't notice a smell, and I'm so sensitive to smell I can't use scented lotions, lip balms, etc. Bottom line, this is better than Hanacure both price and results wise." — Dana Dane
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $18.50 (also available in multipacks).
31. Peach Slices nose pore patches offering an overnight solution to blackheads, clogged pores, and oily skin. Just wash your face, exfoliate, and pop one on before bed. The hydrocolloid bandage will soak up gunk from your pores without drying your skin.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"It had to be said. These things are disgusting, that's why you should buy them. Squeeze part of your nose skin. Do a bunch of little pustules come out? Yeah, if you put one of these puppies on at night, you wake up, and that is all trapped inside that weird film. I dunno how it works. It's probably sorcery." — Jack Sawyer
Get a seven-pack from Amazon for $9.98.
32. 54 Throne multi-tasking body butter loved for its ability to hydrate dry skin, scalps, and tattoos. Shea butter, baobab oil, and jojoba oil work together to make flaky, cracky skin a distant memory.
54 Thrones is a Black woman-owned small business that makes skincare products.
BuzzFeed editor Amanda Davis says: "I'm happy to report that I've have found *thee* body butter that not only has my skin glistening like a glazed donut in the sun, but it leaves my skin feeling hydrated, moisturized, AND it smells amazing, too. The rich, creamy, and suuuper thick texture is incredibly smooth, especially when rubbed in. My favorite scent is Egyptian Lavender + Moroccan Mint. I've been using it on my hands daily since I got the opportunity to try the brand. But when I'm feeling ~fancy~ (or am just going out for the night), I apply the Kenyan Hibiscus + Moroccan Rose all over after I shower to lock in a beautiful, floral scent. Once you try it, you won't be able to live without it in your beauty routine!"
Promising review: " This beauty butter is a true game-changer for dry skin. Its natural ingredients, including African shea butter, deeply hydrate and nourish the skin. The rich and luxurious texture melts effortlessly, leaving a comforting layer of long-lasting hydration. It penetrates deeply, improving the skin's texture and suppleness over time. The butter is versatile, suitable for both face and body, and a little goes a long way. The subtle and pleasant scent adds to the overall experience. It delivers exceptional results, reducing dry patches and enhancing the complexion's radiance. It's a must-have for anyone in need of intense dry skin treatment." — thegirl202
Get it from Sephora for $12+ (available in two sizes and five scents) or straight from 54 Thrones for $24 (available in seven scents).
