Radiance Sheet Mask, Qiriness, €3.90
Sheet masks pack active ingredients for fast, superior hydration thanks to their occlusive fabric that boosts penetration.

Warming Effect Exfoliating Balm, Tony Moly c/o Sephora, €14.90
Tony Moly's secret for tackling blackheads: warming action opens pores, while exfoliating particles absorb sebum and slough away dead cells. Skin feels purified and baby-soft. Bonus: repurpose the cute egg-shaped jar when done.
