Keep this in your fridge for maximum effect. My skin looked so dull after a red-eye that a coworker asked if I was sick. One layer of this and I looked human again within twenty minutes.
Jet Lag Mask
Use this under your sleeping mask for that ridiculous glow. Went from looking tired and blotchy on Monday to getting a ‘what did you do to your skin’ comment by Wednesday.

Washing your face should not feel like a chore. These turned my two-minute rinse into the part of the night I actually look forward to.

Put one of these on, start an episode, and let the ingredients do their thing. Most of my skin improvements came from finally getting this step right.
Dab this on oily zones before bed. My nose used to be an oil slick by 2pm and this cut that down to almost nothing within two weeks. Costs less than a latte.

Mix this fresh and pat it on before moisturizer. Went from dull, uneven skin to actually glowing without makeup. For the person who looks washed out under fluorescent office lighting.

Pump two drops and press into your face before your night cream. My mom has used this for fifteen years and people genuinely think she is ten years younger. That was enough proof for me.

Try this during fall and winter when you want your place to smell like a cabin. Not artificially piney, more like actual cold air and fresh wood. Burns for hours.

Bath Soaks for When You Commit to the Full Evening
Sometimes the mask is just the appetizer. When you are going all in on a night alone, the bath is where the real decompression happens.
Drop one of these in and the water turns milky and smells like jasmine and rose. For the person who says ‘I never take baths’ and then takes one and immediately understands.

Pour a generous handful into warm water after a stressful workweek. The vanilla and lavender smell hit me immediately. My shoulders physically dropped two inches. Not exaggerating.

Lip Treatments Because Your Lips Deserve a Night Off Too
Nobody talks about how chapped and neglected lips get when you are focused on the rest of your face. These fixed that problem for me completely.
Dab a thick layer on before bed and wake up with soft, smooth lips. Used to peel my lips constantly out of habit. After a week of this, there was nothing left to peel. Life-altering.

Keep this on your nightstand for a quick swipe before sleep. Tinted versions double as a lazy day lip color. For the girl who loses every single lip balm but will protect this one with her life.

Wear this during the day and switch to a mask at night. Finally stopped getting sunburned lips on hikes. For anyone who puts SPF on their face but forgets their mouth exists.

Eye Treatments for the Permanently Tired
Dark circles run in my family like a genetic curse. These did not eliminate them entirely but the improvement was enough that people stopped asking if I was okay.
Stick these under your eyes while your face mask sets. Look ridiculous, feel incredible. The puffiness from crying during a movie went down in fifteen minutes flat.
