15 products that will act as your bodyguard against common beauty headaches

Taking care of your body shouldn’t be a super expensive or time-consuming activity but a seamless process. That is, if you possess the right tools that speed up your routines and deliver optimal results. This is exactly what we want to offer you with these 15 products.

1. 3D curly hair brush perfect for styling naturally curly hair and creating ringlets. It has 7 rows of sculpted round-ended nylon pins that give softer, denser, increased movement and define wet hair. It can be used for detangling, blow-drying, and smoothing the hair.

The unique staggered pin pattern provides and delivers maximum grip and tension. The ’teardrop’ handle with longer, more rounded shape provides extra comfort and balance. The brush is ideal for 2C-4C curls.

Promising review:

• With curly hair I often get tangled and knots. This brush takes out loose hairs and glides through my hair with ease. It detangles and keeps strands separated. It is also equipped to disassemble and clean every inch of the brush and is easy to put back together. I recommend this product as it is extremely practical and easy to carry on the go. @Eric S.

2. Overnight scar cream that is the #1 recommended cream by dermatologists and pharmacists. It reduces overall appearance, color, and texture of old and new scars. It works on acne scars, surgery scars, and scars from burns, cuts, and other injuries.

For best results, as soon as the wound has closed and scar healing has begun, start using this cream. Continue using daily for at least 8 weeks on new scars and 3–6 months on existing scars.

Promising review:

• I’ve been using this product now for about 4 years for a large surgery scar, but I only saw it in tubes on Amazon couple months ago. I now see it in the jar which is much more cost-effective, and I use the tubes for when I travel. I have two scars from two different surgeries. My dermatologist thinks that it works. @Francophile

3. Edge tamer that flattens down flyaway and stays for 24 hours straight. You can now smoothly lay your edges without breakage and irritation and create the perfect sleek look. You keep your hair moisturized and hydrated without creating any white flakes.

This product can be used for all hair types, ranging from 1A to 4C. The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, with argan oil. It is residue-free and humidity-resistant. You only need to use a small amount on damp or dry hair.

Promising review:

• The quality of this product is simply just amazing. It will lay those 4C edges for all day up to 8 hours coverage. The smell is not as pungent as other products I have tried. This product is thick and you must use edge control brush.
  Use it as you would any other edge control. Apply a little to the brush place it on those edges tie it down let it dry and walk away. The price point is amazing. The size of the container will last quite a while depending on how much you use. @ms. jackson

4. Facial hair remover that features 18-karat gold plating and LED light for precision. You can remove peach fuzz and hair from lips, chin, neck and cheeks or use it as an eyebrow shaper. It is hypoallergenic, and you may use it by making small circular motions.

This electric razor utilizes the revolutionary butterfly technology that removes hair by microscopically paring it down by a spinning head covered by a plate. It is gentle enough to use every day.

Promising review:

• I use this to remove peach fuzz from my face. I used to have another brand which worked great, but finally gave out after several years of use. Apparently that brand is no longer available except on eBay, so I ordered another brand from Amazon. It worked for about 3 times, and stopped working. Then I ordered this one, and so far it’s been working fine. @eweser04

5. Pimple patches that contain 120 pieces that help absorb gunk. The hydrocolloid patches help flatten the pimple and when finished, they peel off easily. You may use them on any skin type, keep them on pimples for 6–8 hours and then remove.

To use acne patches, clean and dry the area and apply them on pimples. They are infused with tea tree oil and reduce redness, blemishes, and scarring. They are ultra-thin and waterproof.

Promising review:

• I’ve been on a hunt for patches. I’ve bought a couple of duds, especially the ones that say their hydrocolloid patches, but they just feel like a thin plastic. These however are a true hydrocolloid. They come with 3 different sizes on each sheet. So how I like to use them is mainly at night or if I’m off from work.
  I start out with a freshly washed face, add any acne serum on top, let dry, then place the patch on and continue with the rest of my skin care. Some days make a slight poke to pimple, then place patch at night, and have it draw out all the gunk overnight. These have good adhesion to skin. @Lynette Caraang

6. Brightening face toner that targets texture, dullness, uneven skin tone, and discoloration. Niacinamide and arbutin work to brighten dull skin and improve the look of hyperpigmentation, while licorice root extract helps to soothe inflammation.

To apply the alcohol-free toner, dispense onto a cotton pad and gently sweep over freshly cleansed skin. You can also dispense it into your palms and pat it into your skin until fully absorbed.

Promising review:

• I have super dry skin and big pores. When using this product it doesn’t burn or cause irritation on my skin. It’s a bit sticky after applying but for someone who’s got very dry skin, it goes away after an hour. So, the product will not harm you or expose you to any harsh chemicals. @Christine

7. Hair repairing treatment that protects and treats damaged hair and broken bonds. To use it, shampoo and condition your hair as usually. Then, apply the formula and dry. You may use it once a week for protection or 2–3 times a week for severely damaged hair.

It is suitable for all hair types and reduces breakage and split ends. It prevents future damage, so you don’t have to visit the salon for expensive therapies. You may combine it with the same brand’s shampoo and conditioner.

Promising review:

• My bleached blonde hair is finally healed and happy using this once a week and using K18 other weeks. I rotate on and off because I like both products! This works well and helped heal my hair bonds over time.
  In my opinion, Olaplex Hair Perfector No 3 Repairing Treatment is the best Olaplex product! I have tried them all, and I also like using the oil but by far this one is my favorite because it works. @SM

8. Dry skin lotion that provides deep hydration to heal and soften extremely dry skin while providing 48-hour moisture. It is ideal for all skin types, from normal to dry to eczema-prone skin. Cocoa butter is a rich natural moisturizer that helps alleviate even the roughest skin.

Antioxidant vitamin E helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and imperfections. You may also use it as a lip balm, makeup remover, primer for lipstick, foot mask, hand mask, shaving cream, and hair conditioner.

Promising review:

• After a few tattoos, I was over using ointment and wanted to research other options and landed on this! The scent is so nice and it healed my tattoos so quickly without it fading or damaging my tattoo in any way. It stays a bit greasy for a little while after the application, but otherwise this will now always be my go-to for tattoo healing. Plus, you don’t need to purchase a new jar every time you get a new tattoo, it’ll last you so long! @k

9. Teeth whitening toothpaste that lifts stains without taking the enamel and without using harsh bleaches that damage your tooth structure. It is certified non-toxic and microbiome safe. It protects your good bacteria and detoxifying the bad.

It has been proven in laboratory studies to reduce toxins in the mouth by more than 80%. It improves your oral health without preservatives, additives, or artificial dyes or flavorings.

Promising review:

• This has been a refreshing addition to my oral care routine. Its natural ingredients provide effective whitening without the sensitivity issues I’ve experienced with strips. I appreciate the shift away from toxic ingredients found in many conventional toothpastes.
  While it excels in whitening, I’ve noticed that it doesn’t leave my breath feeling as fresh as I’d like after using it. Despite this minor drawback, its ability to brighten my smile while being gentle on my teeth makes it a standout product in my opinion. @Rachel C.

10. Makeup spatula set that scrape up to 25% more product out of your jar or bottle. The package includes a 6″ and 12″ spatula. They are reusable, flexible, and dishwasher safe. The extra skinny scraper fits to scoop virtually every beauty product on the market.

Instead of throwing away valuable product, you can utilize these spatulas to scrape it from the bottom of bottles. They are absolutely safe to touch your products since they don’t contain any toxins.

Promising review:

• I use high-quality products and typically avoid glass bottles that I can’t cut to get to the last drop of the product. I’ve been using a foundation that comes in a glass bottle and lamenting the product I know is all over the sides and bottom where the straw of the pump doesn’t quite reach. I was SO happy to get this spatula and get all that product!
  I can’t believe I never bought something like this sooner! I love that there is a larger one for things in huge containers. I imagine hair products or something would be what it’s used for. @T. Antishin

11. Nail strengthener that dries up very quickly and prevents chipping. It helps prevent peeling, while omega 3 and soy help diminish the look of ridges. You can apply more than one coats, letting each dry completely. It is equally good with many salon choices.

You may apply 2–3 coats of the nail strengthener on bare or colored nails. It offers a shining finish, making your nails look like you just came out of the salon. The same brand offers products about nail growth and cuticle oil.

Promising review:

• I got this for my nails because they were getting super long, and I loved that they were my natural nails. However, my natural nails are kinda flimsy. You just need to put a few coats on as 1 is not enough. I would surely get it again. @Starr Guajardo

12. Makeup blender sponges that cover a full face, correct any misshapes, and add color. The package features 4 sponges. Their rounded sides blend large areas of the face, the tips cover blemishes, and the flat edges are best for contouring around the eyes and nose.

These blending sponges will turn bigger when wet. They expand and become softer so that the cosmetics stay on top of them rather than being absorbed. Dab them gently in makeup and bounce them along your skin for a natural look.

Promising review:

• I thought they were kind of too stiff, but once you get them wet they are great. Cute variety of colors, and a nice little «egg carton» to keep them in while not in use — which, is great because I always lose these stupid things in my disaster of a bathroom so now they are safe!
  Love that they have the little flat portion, which I use to blend and etch out contour makeup! Didn’t provide a rating on «durability» because I won’t know how fast they fall apart until I use them for a bit but, still a solid buy for the price. @Shauna C.

13. Reusable brow mask that creates a vacuum-like seal between your favorite serum and your skin, helping to «seal» in the ingredients and boost hydration. The sticky texture gently lifts and flattens your skin, helping to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

You can wash, store, and reuse them over and over again. With proper care, the masks should last several uses. They come with a storage tin for safe storage. They are formulated without parabens, phthalates, petroleum, SLS, or mineral oil.

Promising review:

• After one night I can tell a difference. I was kinda skeptical at first, but it really does help. I washed my face as normal, applied a thin layer of moisturizing lotion and went to sleep. The mask stayed on all night, and I am a crazy sleeper. When I woke up it was stuck I had to pull it off. While I love my nightly lotion I have never ever seen this kind of result with it alone.
  I’m going to order the whole line and see what happens. I’ve seen where others said theirs didn’t stay put, I’m not sure if oily facial products mess with the sticky, but the thin layer of lotion didn’t affect it at all. @BB

14. Hydrating eye gel that hydrates the delicate skin around the eye gently. The hyaluronic acid it contains provides instant hydration, lasting 24 hours. Its lightweight gel-like formula absorbs quickly and moisturizes deeply. It is suitable for sensitive skin.

This formula contains hyaluronic acid, licorice extract and a complex of vitamins E and B3 to brighten and smooth the skin. Its moisturizers deliver long-lasting hydration to replenish and protect the skin’s moisture barrier from dryness.

Promising review:

• Incredible! I was having some serious redness and flaking skin around my eyes. Nothing helped, other «natural» products burned and made it worse. After researching online, I came across this product and the consistently 5-star ratings. And bonus, it’s a fraction of the price of prestige beauty brands.
  I saw results within hours. Photos below are within 24 hours of each other. The gel is light-weight feeling, smooth, doesn’t sting/burn and has no scent. New lifetime consumer of this product! Can’t wait to see the long term results! @SierraSue

15. Hot waxing kit that comes with a removable silicone bowl, 4 bags of wax beads, pre-wax oil, post-wax oil, 20 large applicator sticks, 20 mini brow sticks, and a how-to guide. It covers your bikini area, your face, and the entire body. It works perfectly even on sensitive skin.

The bowl is equipped with an accurate temperature display, ensuring your wax is always at the ideal temperature for melting. It offers an easier and quicker cleanup compared to traditional wax pots.

Promising review:

• I used to go to a great technician to get my chin waxed. She would get every piece of hair — coarse or fine — of which I have both. Unfortunately, she retired so instead of going through the process of finding someone else, I decided to try my own hand at it. After looking at other reviews, I determined this to be the best one for my need.
  As a first timer, I wanted something that was easy to use and effective. This IS the thing. The pot is so cool! You can clean it easily. It comes with everything you could need to get the job done. I haven’t burned myself once. @C. E. Singfield
