Still relying on pore strips to get rid of blackheads and whiteheads? We prefer the ILSO Deep Clean Master for more effective, non-irritating pore care. This stainless steel tool is made to pair up with the brand’s own nose pack and cleansing oil; after opening up the pores with your preferred treatment, gently scrape it along the congested areas to loosen buildup and sebum. Voila, you’re left with a refreshed, revitalized complexion sans tears or pain.

You might not think too much about the hair brushes you use, but don’t underestimate the power of a 10/10 brush like the ReFa Heart Brush. Every component of this adorable brush has been thoughtfully designed to elevate your hair brushing experience, from the ergonomic heart-shaped grip that minimizes stress on your strands to the 3-level bristle structure that simultaneously detangles and polishes your mane. The bristles feature a round tipped design to stimulate the scalp as you brush through, promoting healthier, shinier hair in the long run.

There’s no need to get messy with your wash-off and peel-off masks when you have the I'm From Silicon Brush on hand. It’s as straight-forward as they come: this brush helps you spread any mask onto the skin easily, its flexibility allowing you to navigate every crevice of your face. Because it’s made out of silicon, washing and drying it after use is a total breeze, and it’s ready for your next application in seconds.

If your hair is prone to brittleness, dryness or frizz, add the I DEW CARE Do The Twist Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap straight to your shopping cart. This soft and absorbent microfiber towel cuts down on drying time to protect your hair against frizz and breakage, given that wet hair is more susceptible to damage compared to dry. Unlike cotton towels that create friction between your strands, microfiber doesn’t disrupt the hair shaft and helps maintain the cuticle for all hair types.
No. 6
Piccasso - 2Way Makeup Spatula

The Piccasso 2Way Makeup Spatula has got to be one of the most unique makeup tools on our shelves and it’s bound to become an irreplaceable asset in your makeup routine. Made of durable stainless steel, the spatula’s edges are intended for applying base makeup in thin layers, while the spoon is made for scooping out skincare and primers. Instead of faffing around with multiple tools that create clutter, this one multi-use spatula is all you need.
No. 7

Pot blushers and lippies have become all the rage this year, but many users struggle with getting the product out of its packaging. Enter the Fwee Fingerlike Lip Brush, a tool that mimics the shape of your finger to seamlessly blend makeup onto the lips and cheeks. The soft applicator doesn’t soak up any product so your makeup goes all the more further, and you get to achieve a perfect blend without any mess.

Despite its name, this ceramic gua sha tool can be used on the entire body as it’s designed with 6 different point zones to provide effective treatment.
