You can wear this slightly tinted, slightly shimmery liquid as a skin-perfecting primer under your usual foundation, but it works to leave you looking more radiant in multiple ways.

Of the hundreds of five-star reviews on Amazon for this K-beauty hair oil, one bit of praise really stands out: it’s lightweight. The daily leave-in isn’t short on hair-smoothing and shine-enhancing oils like argan, sweet almond, and avocado, but even so, it won’t leave hair looking greasy or feeling weighed down.

The hybrid formula is rich enough replace your morning moisturizer (yes, even if you have dry skin) with its blend of squalane, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid. At the same time, it leaves you with a radiant glow, further enhanced by the rose flower water and niacinamide included in the moisturizer, which work to promote a more even skin tone.

For exfoliating pros, this peeling solution takes things to the next level. A 30% concentration of AHAs like glycolic acid and lactic acid is combined with a 2% concentration of salicylic acid to slough away dead skin cells and clear pores of congestion. The more even skin tone and texture that the rinse-off solution leaves behind takes less than 10 minutes to achieve, and because the treatment is so powerful, you only need to use it once each week to get results.

The slim size and densely packed bristles of this brush make it a styling essential for snatched ponytails and sleek buns. Faux boar bristles help prevent frizz and boost shine while still allowing the brush to be vegan, and it also features an ergonomic handle made from renewable bamboo. The versatile tool can be used on wet or dry hair, with or without the addition of styling products.

Forget about traditional toners that can leave skin feeling stripped. This hypoallergenic toner was developed with sensitive and dry skin types in mind, offering you an alcohol-free formula that replenishes moisture after cleansing and strengthens the skin barrier with ceramide NP and centella asiatica extract.

If you turn to lip liner on a daily basis to define, fill in, and maybe even fake fuller lips, this new blurring liner helps give you a more seamless finish. A domed tip diffuses defined edges for color that looks more lived in and lips that look naturally fuller.

This casual crop top can take you from sitting poolside to dancing along at a music festival. A plunging neckline is embellished with a metal ring that doubles as jewelry, but it can be accessorized with multiple dainty necklaces (or the waist chain mentioned above) for a bolder look.

When you feel like a 15-minute sheet mask isn’t enough to perk up your skin, turn to this more powerful hydrogel mask instead. The TikTok viral sheet mask was designed to be worn overnight, but it turns transparent over three to four hours if you’re looking for a faster fix while you’re traveling. Either way, the mask delivers a concentrated ampoule to the skin, focusing on restoring hydration and increasing elasticity with hyaluronic acid, collagen peptides, and niacinamide.

Whiter teeth are an instant confidence booster, and these whitening strips let you get a brighter smile without a trip to the dentist.

Not only are overgrown cuticles annoying, but they’re also interfering with the look and longevity of your manicure. This rinse-off remover makes it easier to push back your cuticles by breaking down excess dead skin in just a few seconds.

This lightweight gel-cream targets under-eye concerns, like puffiness, without any harsh ingredients known to cause irritation. Instead, a plant extract called yerba mate brightens skin and protects the under-eye area from UV light, while caffeine reduces puffiness.

Dry skin can mess with everything from your skin texture to your spray tan, which is why regularly exfoliating is a must.

For moisturized skin in 20 minutes or less, slip one of these disposable sheet masks over your face.

I’m a big believer that there’s no easier fake tanning product to use than a foam formula. This dark self-tanning foam goes on with a guide color to ensure you don’t miss any spots, and it dries down fast without leaving your skin feeling sticky. Once you rinse off the guide color, you’ll be left with a bronze glow that looks natural on every skin tone, and you can even control just how deep your tan will be as the color gradually develops in one to eight hours. Just don’t forget you’ll need a tanning mitt to get a streak-free application (and to prevent orange palms).

This set of neutral bodysuits can be dressed up or worn more casually with any denim piece in your closet. Made from a blend of stretchy fabrics that Amazon reviewers confirm feels both soft and supportive, the bodysuits feature a slight V-neck cut at the front and back.

As important as it is to wear sunscreen every day, the white cast and greasy film that many formulas leave behind is admittedly off-putting. This Australian-made option wears like a lightweight serum that quickly sinks into the skin, but still helps keep you protected from sun damage with broad-spectrum SPF 50. Free from silicones and fragrances, the sunscreen-serum also packs a moisturizing and brightening punch with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and vitamin C-rich kakadu plum.

Most lip plumping products contain irritants like capsaicin that can actually dry your lips out. Not so with this glossy formula that moisturizes lips with sesame seed oil and hyaluronic acid, as it naturally leaves them looking fuller and slightly tinted. The doe-foot brush gives you a mess-free application, and you can reapply as often as you like without having to worry about causing irritation or dryness.

This daily toothpaste can help brighten your smile, but it really shines at preventing stains after a whitening treatment (either at-home or in-office). The gentle formula promises to repel stains, but the toothpaste also contains fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel and protect against cavities. Amazon reviewers confirm that the toothpaste whitens surface stains, and they also like the classic mint flavor.

For fuller lashes and brows without a hint of makeup, keeping those itty bitty hairs moisturized is key. This USDA-certified organic oil treatment does just that using only one ingredient: castor oil. Cold-pressed castor oil is thought to stimulate hair growth, but at the very least, it strengthens the hairs by keeping them conditioned without any risk of adverse side effects like traditional lash growth serums containing prostaglandin analogs. This tiny bottle of castor oil also comes with a mini spoolie and brush applicator meant for your brows and lashes.

Just because you’re sensitive to teeth whitening products doesn’t mean you have to avoid them altogether. This travel-friendly pen still gives you an effective whitening solution, but its brush-on formula lets you avoid the gum area entirely to reduce the risk of sensitivity. Each pen comes with enough whitening gel for 40 treatments, and it’s safe to use up to twice daily, so you can target coffee stains before they even have time to settle.

Yes, face oils are typically better suited for those with dry skin, but this vitamin C oil was formulated with more than just one skin type in mind. The noncomedogenic oil means it won’t clog pores and contribute to breakouts, so even those whose skin is naturally on the oily or acne-prone side can give it a try. In addition to the brightening and skin tone-evening benefits of vitamin C, the oil also contains multiple moisturizers to further enhance your glow.

Discolored nails and breakage can happen to the best of us (especially after too many back-to-back gel manicures). To camouflage their appearance without contributing to the damage, cancel your salon appointment and slap on a few coats of this tinted nail treatment instead. Ingredients like celery extract and cucumber extract work to strengthen nails over time, while the formula’s sheer color and pearlescent light reflectors hide any yellow discoloration.

Ever wished your sheet mask could do something for your neck, too? You’re in luck with this jawline shaping mask that delivers an elasticity-boosting blend of collagen peptides, retinol, hyaluronic acid, and 24-karat gold right to your chin and neck. Perfect for a quick at-home treatment before a big event, the hydrogel mask is also fitted like a chin strap to create a temporary lifting effect.

As its name suggests, this hair mask has a whipped texture for a lightweight treatment that even fine hair types can use. At the same time, it includes a blend of milk thistle extract, argan oil, and the brand’s own plant-based protein complex to strengthen hair against breakage and environmental damage while leaving it softer, shinier, and frizz-free.

Brighter skin starts with washing your face when you opt for this gentle exfoliating cleanser that starts as a powder and transforms into a light foam after adding water. The Hawaii-based brand turned to botanical ingredients native to the island to power the travel-friendly cleanser, using vitamin C-rich papaya enzyme to exfoliate and brighten, and Hawaiian noni to moisturize. The cleanser is fragrance-free, and because you can control just how exfoliating it is (the more water you add, the gentler it becomes), it’s also safe for sensitive skin types.

The next time a pimple pops up, help to heal it faster with one of these holographic hydrocolloid patches. Like the traditional clear pimple patches, these keep bacteria out and absorb gunk to speed up healing time. They also take things a step further in the healing process with soothing algae and antibacterial tea tree oil. One pack contains 72 hydrocolloid patches to keep you stocked, and they come in several different shapes to switch things up.

If your usual eye cream is letting you down in the battle against tired-looking under-eyes, consider this eye gel that’s powered by a combination of vitamin C and licorice root extract. The lightweight formula is quickly absorbed so you can go about the rest of your routine, and it also contains skin-plumping peptides to help prevent makeup from settling into your skin.

Pair this foot cream with cotton socks for an overnight treatment that doesn’t involve any intense skin shedding. Multi-tasking urea is behind the cream’s efficacy, as it helps to reduce dead skin buildup and draw in moisture. You’ll also find salicylic acid to assist in exfoliating rough skin, as well as shea butter, coconut oil, and vitamin E to smooth feet (and other dry areas, like the elbows and knees).

A good conditioner and a good toning product are essential for maintaining blonde hair, and this mask has you covered on both fronts. The five-minute mask uses purple pigments to neutralize brassy tones for a cooler blonde color. Then, to help fight dry, brittle strands, the mask contains panthenol, hydrolyzed keratin, and hydrolyzed wheat protein.

Blending sponges are a favorite among makeup artists for creating a base that looks as though skin is naturally flawless. This makeup sponge set gives you six full-size sponges (and one mini) that are made more versatile with a rounded side for applying liquid foundation, concealer, and blush, and a slanted side for expertly patting in setting powder. You can wash and reuse the sponges, but at less than $10 for a set, you won’t feel guilty when it’s time to toss them, either.

Before you go in with the texturizing spray and volumizing mousse, you can promote thicker-looking hair in the shower with this Boldify shampoo. The beauty award-winner is still effective when it comes to removing scalp buildup and excess oil, but it also helps hair retain moisture to minimize breakage. Most impactful is the brand’s proprietary complex that includes ingredients like copper peptide, biotin, and hydrolyzed rice protein to support hair health while immediately making it look fuller.

Considering you should be replacing eyeliner that isn’t able to be sharpened every three months, you may not want to invest in a prestige formula you’ll just end up tossing. This retractable eyeliner gives you rich, pigmented color that’s waterproof and fade-resistant, but it won’t cost you more than $10. Ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter, and olive oil help give the eyeliner a smooth application, and it also comes in multiple colors.

Any hair type looking for a frizz-free finish can benefit from this blowout primer — all you need is freshly washed hair that’s still damp.

It also provides heat protection, so you don’t have to worry about using any additional styling products.

Ingrown hairs and razor bumps not only mess with smooth skin, but they’re also just plain annoying. This post-hair removal solution can be sprayed right onto the skin to soothe and moisturize with its blend of oat kernel extract, cucumber extract, and chamomile extract. It was formulated to be gentle enough on the pubic area, which means it works just as well to calm irritation anywhere you wax or shave.

Channel the spa right from your couch by using this 15-minute mud mask. Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin types, the mask pairs mud from the Dead Sea with kaolin clay to absorb excess oil and draw out impurities that can otherwise clog your pores. All that’s left to do to create the ultimate self-care sesh is to light your favorite candle and pour yourself a glass of rosé.

Exfoliating is the quickest way to achieve smoother skin, and this in-shower cloth lets you exfoliate and cleanse in one step. Made in Japan using a decade-old weaving technique for gentle exfoliation, the washcloth eliminates the need for a messy scrub, but it’s still nonirritating.

Split ends are a telltale sign that you’ve been overdoing it with the hot styling tools. While quitting altogether is ideal, if you’re not willing to part with your straightener or curling wand, this hair primer will quickly camouflage split ends with smoothing ingredients like hydrolyzed wheat protein, and it also adds in some heat protection for good measure.

There are more than 25,000 five-star ratings on Amazon for this daily moisturizer, but if that’s not enough to convince you to give it a try, it’s also a favorite among makeup artists and models like Bella Hadid (she once told Vogue she goes through multiples each month). Formulated with gentle nourishing ingredients like sunflower seed oil, sweet almond oil, and calendula flower extract, the face cream is also suitable for hands, elbows, or wherever dry skin pops up.

Got a ponytail that always seems to be lacking oomph? This might be the solution. Part clip, part scrunchie, the velvet accessory helps hold hair firmly without worrying about it slipping or snagging. A four-pack goes for under $10, and it includes a few different colors.
