An exfoliating sugar scrub that also helps hydrate skin
Unlike some body scrubs, this one is formulated with a combination of coconut milk and sweet almond oil, both of which can help hydrate dry skin. Gentle sugar granules also work to exfoliate away flakes from head to toe — and the refreshing scent was a total hit with reviewers. “The scent is divine—sweet, warm, and truly reminiscent of a freshly baked birthday cake,” wrote one happy customer.
Boost your skin’s barrier with this cream
This niacinimide cream from Medicube helps to give you tighter, more radiant skin with every use. The hydrolyzed collagen helps your skin better absorb and retain moisturizers.
We love the e.l.f. Glow Reviver lip oil
TikTok loves the e.l.f. Glow Reviver Lip Oil, especially the shade Jam Session. The sheer mauve is perfect for everyday and elevates any lip combo. It’s made with hydrating oils like Jojoba for a nourishing, non-sticky formula. We think it’s even better than the designer version.
The forehead wrinkle patches that could help you avoid getting Botox
While getting wrinkles is a natural part of life, they’re not necessarily something we love about aging. Want to improve their look without Botox? These SILKDERMIS forehead wrinkle patches with vitamin E might do the trick. They’re designed with aloe and collagen for extra hydration, and you can wear them day or night!
A dry body brush that can help stimulate blood circulation
Not only is this dry body brush great for exfoliating away flakes, but using it can also help stimulate blood flow. The result? With regular use you may notice that your skin has a glowing look to it. And unlike some brushes, this one is made with 100% boar bristles rather than synthetic ones.
Make your lips smooth with this organic scrub
Get smooth, kissable lips with a certified organic lip scrub. This gentle exfoliator buffs away dry skin and nourishes your lips with hydrating oils. You might not have to use quite so much of that lip balm to keep your lips feeling soft after trying this.

Protect your skin with this broad spectrum SPF from e.l.f. The non-greasy, lightweight formula is enriched with aloe to nourish your skin while it protects and even provides you with a primer base.
The mesh loofahs that work soap into a rich, indulgent lather
You don’t need to use a ton of soap when washing yourself with these loofahs, as they’ll work a quarter-sized amount of most body washes into a rich, indulgent lather. A loop attached to each one also makes them easy to hang up in your shower so that they dry quickly when wet. One reviewer wrote, “Unlike the other brands at major retailers, these ones don’t unthread and turn into a long piece of junk that you can’t use. I scrub hard and twice, but these scrubbies are quality!”
The moisturizing masks that help smooth chapped lips
When no amount of balm seems to help smooth your chapped lips, it may be time to try out these masks. You only need to wear one for about 20 minutes in order for its hydrating serum to penetrate deep into your pout — and the individual packaging makes it easy to take them with you when traveling. “I live in the Midwest, and my house and office both get pretty dry in the winter,” explained one reviewer. ” They are super moisturizing and really help to reduce flakiness and dryness.”
