Whether you’re totally new to the benefits of icing your face or it’s long been your go-to method for depuffing, these ice globes contour to your face better than your average ice roller.

Blondes aren’t the only ones who can go brassy. Brunette shades can take on unwanted warmer tones, too (especially with highlighted hair), but there aren’t as many toning options out there that are formulated with darker hair in mind. This toning shampoo uses blue pigment that can help both natural and color-treated brunettes keep their hair on the cooler side. At the same time, it won’t leave your hair feeling dried out, as it’s packed with nourishing ingredients like moringa oil, sunflower seed extract, and hydrolyzed milk protein.

Technically, you shouldn’t be squeezing out your blackheads.

The grey color of this blush may not seem appealing at first, but once you swipe it over your cheeks, it adjusts to your skin’s pH to create a custom flush of pink color.

To depuff in the morning and help your skin care products absorb better at night, work these massaging tools into your routine. The duo includes a face roller and a gua sha tool that can be used to promote lymphatic drainage and release tension from facial muscles in just a few minutes.

There are more than 30,000 five-star ratings on Amazon for this acupuncture-inspired mat that pairs a foam base with plastic acupressure points. While many reviewers agree that the plastic “spikes” on the mat aren’t the most comfortable experience in the beginning, after several minutes, the acupressure points help to relieve muscle tension. The mat comes in two sizes to target the back or the full body, and it comes with a matching pillow for neck support.

This hair mask may look like it should be slathered on a sandwich, but its mayonnaise-inspired formula restores softness and shine to dry hair in a single treatment.

But that’s where the similarities stop, as the hair mask is scented with a sweet blend of vanilla and macadamia nuts.

From arthritis and carpal tunnel to hands that feel stiff after a long day typing, this hand massager helps to increase circulation and ease pain.

Each hand massager comes with guided instructions for targeting the fingers, the palm of the hand, and even pressure point areas.

Borrow a trick from the pros with this makeup primer that uses the technique of color correcting to camouflage redness in the skin before you even apply your foundation. Green pigments help to tone down redness from breakouts or skin conditions like rosacea, but the primer also works to protect the skin with SPF 25 and soothe any irritation with centella asiatica extract. The only downside? This color-corrector works best on fair to medium skin tones.

When you’re looking to quickly depuff your face in the morning, reach for the ice roller in this facial sculpting set. Then, when you have more time to dedicate to your facial massage, use the jade gua sha stone to help relieve muscle tension and temporarily sculpt your face. Both tools can be used alongside your skin care products for better absorption, and they’re easy to clean.

The retinol that you use on your face is typically too strong to apply along the delicate skin under your eyes.

Forget messy foot creams that take ages to fully absorb. This balm stick offers a lightweight and non-greasy way to smooth feet, fast. A 60% concentration of urea and 2% salicylic acid exfoliates the top layer of dead skin cells so that the aloe vera and coconut oil can better moisturize rough skin. The twist-up balm is easy to travel with, and it can be used to soften elbow and knees, too.

The blue mask looks like something you’d find at the spa, and it imparts a cooling and tightening effect to leave skin feeling refreshed.

Unlike the blue exfoliating mask above, this blue-colored face cream was formulated with skin soothing in mind. Guaiazulene, a calming ingredient extracted from chamomile, is behind the moisturizer’s blue color, as well as its ability to cool skin and reduce redness. Further supporting the skin barrier is a mix of gentle moisturizing ingredients that includes shea butter, centella asiatica extract, and ceramides.

Sometimes your deodorant could use a little extra help (especially if you’ve recently made the switch from an antiperspirant to a natural deodorant). When regular bar soap won’t do, reach for this underarm soap that’s formulated with activated charcoal, glycolic acid, and tea tree oil to help remove more of the bacteria and debris that contributes to underarm odor. Because of the active ingredients, you’ll want to use this on your armpits only, and to really ensure it works, let it sit for about a minute after lathering up.

Taking inspiration (and its looks) from craft glue, this drugstore primer helps to lock in your makeup for up to 24 hours.

And despite its resemblance to glue, Amazon reviewers confirm that it isn’t super sticky.

The rotten egg-like scent that’s naturally occurring in this sulfur acne treatment is less than ideal, but if you’re looking to clear up cystic acne and minimize the inflammation it causes, it’s a dermatologist-approved option. Whether you use it to spot treat a stubborn zit or slather it all over, a 10% concentration of sulfur kills acne-causing bacteria, regulates sebum production, and reduces redness — all without irritating your skin.

When you’re in a pinch and you don’t have time to get to the salon before an important event, this at-home hair color kit lets you cover up unwanted roots in just a few minutes.

And for less than $15, the kit also includes your applicator brush (in a mini size meant for applying more precisely along the roots) and gloves to keep your hands free from the dye.

You can use this massage oil on its own or try it after the acupressure mat or a foam rolling sesh for even more relaxation benefits. Either way, the nourishing oil was formulated to have a warming effect as you massage it into your skin. Arnica flower extract is thought to help ease muscle pain, and the oil is also fragranced with lavender and rosemary essential oils to further help you unwind after a tough workout.

This shampoo will always make it past TSA, as it’s a liquid-free bar that gets the job done when you need to remove product buildup and excess oil after a long day of traveling. The packaging is plastic-free and more compact, which is another travel bonus. And if that’s not enough, the brand notes that each shampoo bar lasts as long as three of your usual shampoo bottles, so it helps save money, too.

Scalp brushes, like this one, are super handy for people dealing with dandruff and flaky scalps. But they’re also amazing for pretty much everyone, since they feel like a mini massage every time you use one (and that can be in the shower, with shampoo, or on dry hair without).
