We’re big fans of charcoal face masks for their pore-refining capabilities. This one basically does the same thing for the rest of your body, drawing out impurities and deep cleaning skin for a brighter, softer complexion from the shoulders down.

Just slip on like a pair of gloves, secure with the included tape and then wait ten to 20 glorious minutes for the serum to work its magic—all with a legitimate excuse not to answer texts.

Patchology Poshpeel Pedi Cure Foot Masque Socks

We love a good pedicure, but sometimes they just don’t buff our feet enough. Well, this foot mask gets the job done. Just slip on the plastic booties, pour in the activated essence, and let feet soak it up for an hour (while you catch up on Westworld, obviously). Wash it off and wait for full exfoliation over the next few days.
