Even if you’re applying your skincare and sunscreen all the way down your neck and chest (hint, hint), it’s natural for that skin to thin and lose its tightness over time. This cooling roller works to sculpt your neck while distributing serum that hydrates, tightens, and brightens. Don’t be surprised when using this becomes your favorite part of the day. Psst…use code SKIMM20 for 20% off sitewide until June 30. ($28.99, Womaness)

Meet the tinted multitasking option we can’t stop wearing every day. It actually improves our skin as we wear it, thanks to the niacinamide that hydrates and bisabolol that reduces inflammation. At the same time, zinc oxide protects against blue light and harsh rays. We love that it comes in four different shades and love using the code SKIMM20 for 20% off even more. ($39.50, Daybird)

This Mario Badescu Drying Lotion puts salicylic acid, sulfur, and zinc oxide to work to absorb excess oil and unclog pores. We like to dab it on our problem areas and leave it on all day (or night). Keep in mind that this product shouldn’t be shaken —  separation is natural and necessary. Time to bid adieu to those annoying blemishes. ($17, Amazon)

This brand’s sleep solution is made with only four natural ingredients. And it can help you fall and stay asleep…without causing grogginess or dependency. Dream a little dream. ($19.79, Amazon)

These hypoallergenic wool balls go in the dryer with your sheets and towels to soften, de-wrinkle, and reduce drying time. They’ll last for loads and loads and are much more eco-friendly than tossing out dryer sheets after a single use. Plus, they’re suitable for all fabrics. ($19.99, Grove Co.)

Believe the hype about this one. The solution attaches to makeup, dirt, and debris, gently lifting them away, all while maintaining the moisture barrier of even the most sensitive skin.

This nonabrasive one is compact, travel-friendly, and made of etched glass. You can use it on wet and dry skin, and the ergonomic shape means it’s easy to grip. It’s great for flakey skin, cracked heels, and calluses. Rinse under water to clean. At-home pedicure, anyone? ($14.99, Amazon)

This balm actually started out as a balm for cows' udders (not kidding). Celebs like Alix Earle and Madelyn Cline swear by putting Bag Balm on their lips, and we promise this “udder cream”  will soothe and smooth your hands instantly overnight. Moo-ve over, all other hand creams. ($8.79, Amazon)

You can never have too many. This one is compact enough to fit in most bags, and the adorable pale blue color means you’ll always be able to spot it.

($10.88, Walmart)

Let’s be honest, we should all be washing our water bottles more. Just drop this in and watch it fizz. Each one is made of a mix of natural ingredients to rid of germs and odors so each sip will taste fresh once again. Customers love that you can actually see it working. ($39/78 pack, Amazon)

It’s made with Hawaiian cane sugar for exfoliation, kukui oil for hydration, and shea butter to lock in moisture. Simply take a pea-sized amount and massage it onto your dry lips, let it sit, and then wipe away. Bonus: All ingredients are natural, vegan, and cruelty-free. Pucker up. ($16.99, Amazon)

These containers regulate oxygen and carbon dioxide flow so your fruit and veggies last longer. That’s right. Lettuce won’t wilt. Blueberries won’t soften. Plus, the built-in filter never needs to be replaced. Pro tip: don’t wash produce before putting it into the containers. Just drop everything in and store them in your fridge. You can wash food before you eat it. ($18.99+, Amazon)
