Whether you’ve been living off alcohol and cookies for two months and need to fix your face, or you just want to self-care it up while everyone is busy working on their aggressive New Year’s resolutions, this is a good time of year to get your grooming routine back on track. Investing in a decent face wash and moisturizer is a great start, but if you want to restore moisture and reduce inflammation like a professional, you need professional products. We’re talking ancient rocks, handheld electronics, and fancy, one-and-done treatments. Here are a few such products we believe in. Of course, you could also just go get a facial.

1. Get Your Skin a Drink

You know that satisfying feeling that comes from finally putting lotion on your dry, cracked hands? This vitamin-packed oil does that for your equally dehydrated face. No joke: the level of moisture it delivers will make you feel instantly healthier. Plus, it has a rollerball applicator which means you can toss it in your gym bag without fear of inadvertently destroying your electronics.

2. Get Stoned

Putting spoons in the fridge and then using them on under-eye bags is an oldie but goodie skincare trick that actually works. These Finnish stones make the cold-compress process no less silly, but at least hands free. Now you can use your spoon to drink that hearty detox soup you’re telling yourself is just as good as actual food.

3. Steam Away Your Grooming Sins

You know how good your skin looks after a visit to the steam room or, better yet, the Russian bath? This little device gives you that actually-born-yesterday glow from the comfort of your home. Yes, owning a personal facial steamer is a little over the top for your every day grooming routine, but looking five years younger in 8-12 minutes is pretty sweet.

4. Mist Well, Mist Often

Facial mist is the answer to dull, dried out skin every hour of the day. One zap of this oil-free, coffee and ginseng-packed formula will make your skin feel completely renewed. You can apply it over moisturizer and sunscreen and don’t even have to rub it in. Think of it as a kinder alternative to a slap in the face.

5. Netflix and Sheet Mask

The invigorating powers of a sheet mask are very real, whether you’re at home or traveling at 35,000 feet. Grooming site The Motley makes them especially for dull, tired skin through their in-house line Port Products. Bonus: the soft, coconut-derived mask is also a little easier on facial hair than most.

6. Fake it Till You Make It

If you’re fair or light complexioned guy who drops two shades lighter when you’ve been staying up late and indulging in various substances (love you, triple chocolate cookies), you might consider bronzer. If you go with a trusted formula like Tom Ford’s bronzing gel and select the right shade, you won’t look like you’re wearing makeup at all. We promise.
