There are facial peels that leave skin red and angry, and then there are the kind that leave it feeling baby soft and freshly moisturized in one step. The Body Shop Drops of Youth Liquid Peel, $25, is the latter type of peel. You apply it to dry skin, massage it in, and loose bits of skin roll away. It sounds disgusting, but it's seriously gratifying.

Bhave Gun Powder, $29.95, is a cross between a dry shampoo, a texture paste, and a root booting spray. You puff some powder at your roots, work it in, and hair looks instantly cleaner, cooler, and fuller. And when you're ready to shampoo, it washes out easily.

I've heard that Asian women do a face mask every night for six months leading up to their weddings. (The truth may be closer to six days, but I enjoy the story.) And Aveda Wedding Masque Overnight, $65, plays into that story. In fact, it was inspired by an Indian Haldi ceremony where the bride and groom apply a homemade turmeric paste to make their skin glow on their wedding day. This version is easy to slather on every night (no turmeric stains, I promise), with all the same glowing skin benefits.
