The high-tech face mask
TheraFace LED face mask
Brighten up your skincare routine… literally. This LED mask automatically switches between red, infrared, and blue light to stimulate collagen production, even skin tone, and fight breakouts, respectively. BDG Executive Beauty Director Faith Xue loves how it has a massage-like vibration function that boosts relaxation vibrations and automatically shuts off after the recommended nine minutes.
The sweet-smelling bush
Body scrub with sugar and argan oil with vanilla Vibezzz
The most indulgent body scrub to achieve the dolphin skin of your dreams is right here. Real sugar crystals remove dryness without being abrasive, leaving behind a hydrated veil. The deliciously sweet formula “is a joy to use and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and hydrated enough to skip moisturizer,” says Xue.
The luxury body wash
Santalum body wash
Enter: the most luxurious body wash you'll ever add to your shower routine. This creamy coconut emulsion lathers into a soft, moisturizing lather with a sandalwood scent. “It turns the basic act of washing my body into a soothing ritual that I look forward to,” says Xue.
The rod that tightens the skin
RF Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Device
Currentbody has always been ahead of the curve in at-home skin technology, and their newest at-home RF device proves it well. The portable tool fits in the palm of your hand, but delivers serious skin tightening and smoothing results. “Using this device is a moment of self-care at the end of each day,” says Xue. “The upside is that I swear my skin looks tighter after just a few weeks.”
The skin refresher
U beauty restoration compound
Friends will be asking who your esthetician is after you add this silky skin treatment, recommended by NYLON Senior Social Media Strategist Kelly Reed, to your skincare routine. Exfoliating acids, brightening vitamin C, and retinyl palmitate (a gentle derivative of retinol) are clear on the skin, with none of the stinging, flaky, painful extractions of in-office facials.
The dazzler under the eyes
Peter Thomas Roth Gold 24K Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Hydra-Gel Eye Patches
These eye patches aren't just gold for opulence. They're infused with literal gold, which helps soften, soothe and brighten tired eyes with the help of caffeine and niacinamide. Reed sticks them on while getting ready in the morning to get rid of the bloat.
Soothing body lotion
Iota Supermatcha Body Lotion+
Think of it as a creamy matcha latte for your body. The fast-absorbing formula has a milky green hue courtesy of antioxidant-rich real matcha, which Reed says keeps itchiness and body acne at bay. You'll also notice firming and moisture-locking benefits through rambutan and snow mushrooms.
Facial replacement
Face mask Dr. Jart+ Cryo Rubber™ with moisturizing hyaluronic acid
This rubber sheet mask was inspired by the brightening benefits of cryotherapy and a cooling sensation to match. Before placing it on your face, slather your skin with a bottle of deeply hydrating hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to rejuvenate dry, tired skin. It's “so refreshing and soothes any inflammation,” says beauty expert Sarah Feingold.
Skin treatment
Onelogia Niacinamide 2%
Niacinamide is one of our favorite skin care ingredients to soothe, hydrate, soften, i clarifying our complexion. To increase its effectiveness, Onéology encapsulated niacinamide in a freeze-dried tablet that turns into a gelatinous serum with a little water. “I'm obsessed,” says Chelsea Peng, editor-in-chief of NYLON. “They're really fun to use.”
The sculptor of faces
Herbar El Champinyó Gua
You don't need to be a crystal girl, like Peng, to enjoy the most beautiful facial massage tool that will ever grace your face. Crystals, such as calcite, unakite and tiger eye, are cut into mushroom shapes to provide lymphatic drainage for major cleansing action. Try it along the jawline and between the eyebrows to release facial tension as well.
