Trade in your worn-out blending sponges for these affordable ones, which are said to perform as well as the OG BeautyBlender.

Priced at $24.90 for 38 pieces, that equates to just $0.65 per mask!

If you have finicky skin, Lululun’s wide range of face masks are your best bet. Their sheet masks are free from chemicals, fragrances and mineral oils, making them suitable for daily use and for all skin types.
If you want to give your current facial cleansing routine a little boost, try Tsururi’s Pore Cleansing Brush, which promises to cleanse more thoroughly than if you were to use your hands. This brush has antibacterial properties, thanks to the extremely soft and ultra-fine Kanegoto fibre bristles. It is designed to create a rich luxurious lather to ensure a gentler and more thorough cleanse.
With a frequency of 100 vibrations per minute, this electric razor reduces friction while shaving, helping to minimise any abrasion or redness. You can also use this in the shower, given that it’s water-resistant.

If you have dry, dull skin from being stuck in an air-conditioned office all day, this exfoliator will be your next best friend.

Gentle enough for sensitive skin, it helps to effectively get rid of dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion.
Bid your strawberry nose goodbye with Keanacy Pore Massage Gel. This warming gel dislodges dirt from clogged pores and deeply cleanses impurities from your skin surface. Simply massage this into your skin for a minute before rinsing it off to reveal a smoother and more refined skin texture.
