The Skinny Confidential Hot Mess Ice Roller

  • Lauryn Evarts Bosstick, the founder of The Skinny Confidential, created this all-aluminum ice roller after having jaw surgery when the plastic one she was using wouldn't stay cold.
  • In the morning or throughout the day, use as a pick-me-up to get rid of any puffiness and redness.
  • In the evening, roll it all over face after finishing your skincare routine to lock in all the serums and moisturizers you just applied.
  • Storage tip from Shaina: Keep in the freezer in a tall bin organizer (aka baby bin!) so it doesn't get lost behind bags of frozen vegetables (or, if you are like us, tubs of ice cream).

The Skinny Confidential Mint Roller

  • A bite-sized version of the Hot Mess Ice Roller, with a bonus contour side for sculpting your jawline and cheekbones.
  • Since it comes with a lid, you can easily toss it in your purse and take it on the go. Quick spa moment at our desks after a long morning of back-to-back Zoom calls? Yes, please!

The Skinny Confidential Mouth Tape

  • Definitely a step up from the duct tape Alyssa had been using. This version includes an opening so you can still talk and sip your favorite beverage from a straw before bedtime.
  • Wearing mouth tape every night while you sleep is thought to sharpen your jawline, promote deeper rest, give you more energy, and reduce snoring and morning breath since it forces you to breathe through your nose.
  • You can sign up for a monthly subscription that sends you a new supply every 30 days so you never run out!
  • It comes in a cute tin, need we say more?

High Frequency Skin & Hair Wand

  • Hair thinning happens, and that's okay! In addition to taking Nutrafol (a hair growth supplement we love!), this wand kicks your #hairgoals up a notch to stimulate blood flow and promote further growth and scalp health. Just comb through your hair; it's that easy.
  • The wand comes with more fun attachments that can be used on your face to promote absorption of serums and creams and firmer skin.
  • Storage tip from Shaina: Instead of wrapping the cord around the barrel, use a silicone cable wrap (here) to save time and prevent tangling.

Omnilux Contour Face LED Mask

  • This mask might be giving Michael Myers Energy, but it will also make you age backward, Benjamin Button-style, according to Alyssa. All jokes aside, the anti-aging benefits of LED red light therapy delivers a noticeably healthier glow when worn for ten minutes a few times a week. Head to their site to see the amazing before and afters!
  • Unlike other LED masks, which are stiff and plastic, this one curves around your head so it's more comfortable to wear.
  • Storage tip from Shaina: Since this tool is an investment, hide it in a cloth-lined Montauk bin (here), either on a shelf or under the sink, so your kids and housemates don't get ahold of it.

Infrared Sauna Blanket

  • Binge-watching our favorite shows while detoxing for the health benefits? Sign us up! Sure, this sauna blanket is a bit "extra" but being able to work up a sweat while horizontal is a life hack as far as we're concerned.
  • Since there are arm holes, you won't feel trapped and claustrophobic. A major plus!
  • It comes in a carrying case with a handle for easy storage. Another major plus!
