You can use micellar water as a face wash and makeup remover. This one from Bioderma is specifically made for those with sensitive skin. “I’m loyal to this micellar water, which I’ve been buying for years and use daily. It gently yet effectively gets rid of makeup, sunscreen, dirt and grime without stripping my skin, leaving my face feeling refreshed, clean and hydrated,” says NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin. “I love the pump dispenser because it helps me avoid over-using the product — I only need one or two pumps to fully saturate a cotton pad.”
NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez tested these pimple patches for NBC Select’s Wellness Awards and found them to be both effective and discrete. “They’re more translucent than other patches and blend well with skin,” she says. The patches are made from hydrocolloid gel to draw sebum and debris from your pimples, according to the brand. They also have tapered edges to help them blend into your skin. In this pack, you get 72 patches.
Give this face mask set as a holiday gift or keep it for yourself. It comes with three face masks: a hydrating aloe mask, detoxifying clay mask and exfoliating black salt mask. It also comes with a silicone brush to help you easily apply them without making a mess.
One of our favorite night creams, this option has hyaluronic acid and antioxidants to restore and revitalize skin, according to the brand. Malin, who has dry and sensitive skin, says Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost line is one of her favorites because it doesn’t cause any irritation.
“This is one of my favorite tinted lip serums because it’s not sticky or oily at all,” says Malin. “Rather, it’s very lightweight and leaves behind a little color and gloss while hydrating. I’m a big fan of the soft donut-shaped applicator that helps spread the serum evenly.” The tinted serum comes in eight different colors, including raspberry jam, chocolate frosting and blackberry jelly.
I received this as a stocking stuffer years ago and have been devoted ever since. Simply soak the soft washcloth with water and then gently rub it over your face to remove makeup. I don’t know how it manages to wash off mascara better than other makeup removers, but it does. To keep it clean, I just toss it in the washing machine once a week.
Kate Somerville makes some of my go-to face products — the brand’s goat milk moisturizer has a permanent spot in my bathroom vanity. I also love this cleanser when my skin is breaking out. It foams really nicely and my skin feels significantly cleaner after using it, but never feels dry or stripped. It has sulfur to help diminish oil, plus oat, honey and rice extracts to soothe skin, according to the brand. I’ve used it twice daily, though if you have sensitive skin, you may want to stick to once a day.

Add moisture and shine to dry or dull hair with this leave-in treatment. It is alcohol-free and has natural silk, wheat and soy proteins to nourish your hair, according to the brand. It doubles as a heat protectant and works for all hair types.
This dandruff shampoo and conditioner set helps smooth your hair while keeping it flake-free, according to the brand. It’s free of parabens and sulfates, but the shampoo still lathers nicely.
A blow dryer brush can help you dry and style your hair at the same time. This one has flexible, ball-tipped bristles that grip hair so you can create curls or waves. It also has a curl release switch that unlocks and rotates the barrel. It has two heat and speed settings, an 8-foot swivel cord and a padded handle for comfort.
Joico Flip Turn Volumizing Finishing Spray
I have fine hair and am always looking for ways to add volume — this hairspray is one of my favorites to use. Along with adding volume, it locks out humidity and adds a nice sheen. I also love that it provides a firm hold without making my hair crunchy.
Heatless curlers are a great option for those who want to avoid heat damage or for those who want a faster morning routine. This set consists of one long satin-covered tube that you put it on like a headband. You then wrap your hair around either end, securing it with the two included satin scrunchies, resulting in loose waves without having to use any heat to set them. NBC Select editor Mili Godio has used this set and says the satin material is soft and it is easy to use once you practice a bit.

NBC Select associate SEO reporter Ashley Morris tested Lume’s Whole Body Deodorant for two full weeks and liked how quickly the formula absorbed and how long it lasted. You can use it anywhere on your body where you may need odor control, including feet and thigh creases. The deodorant, which comes in a pack of two, is unscented and goes on clear.
These teeth whitening strips are a favorite of many NBC Select staffers. “These are my all-time favorite teeth whitening strips, which is saying a lot due to how many options I’ve tested while reporting about dental care,” says Malin. “I notice real results when I use these consistently, plus they’re very grippy, so they stay on my teeth during the entire treatment, and they take seconds to apply.” One thing to note: You’ll need to use them semi-regularly to keep your teeth bright, which is why Malin likes to buy them on sale.
With this electric toothbrush, you can choose from five cleaning modes and follow a two-minute timer to make sure your teeth get as clean as possible. The toothbrush also connects to an app on your phone via Bluetooth, so you can get personalized tips on areas you may have missed or how you can better brush.
Dove Cream Serum Hyaluronic + Hydration
Dove’s cream serum is an all-over body lotion that has niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, collagen peptides and ceramides to hydrate and nourish your skin. The lotion is also lightweight, so it absorbs quickly.
Aquaphor Repairing Foot Masks
I often deal with dry, cracked heels, so I always have a few of these Aquaphor foot masks on hand. The disposable booties are filled with a serum that has avocado oil and shea butter to deeply moisturize. I slip them on, wear them for ten minutes and my feet feel so much softer afterward.
