Simply put, it’s our job to find the best beauty products out there for you. From the newest serum to the hottest lipstick color to the dry shampoo that will change your life, we will find it, test it, and let you know what we think. We’re not complaining. It’s a pretty fun gig, and we’ll volunteer to be beauty guinea pigs any day.
But one of the cool things to come out of this is finding out what products you’re loving and buying. It helps us figure out what you want to learn more about and what you’re into so we can bring even more personalized recs to you.
Because we share a lot of our favorites with you every single day, we recognize it might be hard to keep up. So we’ve decided to put together a handy weekly list of what we love and what you love—consider this a CliffsNotes, one-stop shop of what’s really trending and worth adding to your cart at this very moment.
This week, we’re looking at the little skincare and beauty gadgets and tools that make a big difference. Take a look at what the Who What Wear universe (including editors, staffers, and readers) is obsessed with right now, and if you don’t see a new favorite on this list, we’d love to know.

Gua sha tools are said to improve circulation, promote elastin and collagen production, and help with lymphatic drainage. After using this tool for five to 10 minutes, your skin could appear more lifted and awake.
If you want a little more oomph when you’re washing your face, this brush will do the trick. The silicone bristles will gently clean your pores and exfoliate the skin. When you use it to massage your skin, it can help improve blood circulation, too.
A microfiber hair towel will not only dry your hair a lot faster than a regular one, but it can also prevent frizz and hair breakage. And it’s easy to bring this lightweight product with you when you’re traveling or at the gym.
When you get a microneedling procedure done by a dermatologist, it can leave your skin looking plump and glowy while promoting collagen and elastin production. You can (sort of) mimic the same procedure at home with this microneedling tool. After cleansing your face, apply this roller horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. When you’re done, apply moisturizer or serum to finish.
This little tool has a lot of uses. It can help deep clean, exfoliate, and stimulate blood flow in the scalp. Plus, it’s a self-care tool—who hasn’t felt good after a nice head massage?
This might be the most popular beauty tool with our readers—it’s a total best seller. The sponge is so good at cleansing the face and sloughing off dead skin cells. The end result is soft, smooth, and clear skin. Don’t trust us? You can trust Sara and Erin Foster’s youthful-looking 89-year-old grandmother who told us she’s been using the product for over 40 years.
Target annoying peach fuzz or stray hairs with this face razor. You can use it to gently exfoliate your face, too.
When you’re dealing with a breakout, this small tool can help get rid of a pimple fast. It uses red and blue light therapy to target bacteria and reduce inflammation. Place it on the problem spot for two minutes and you’re done.
Okay, these aren’t exactly gadgets, but they sure are useful and eco-friendly. Use these pads to take off makeup and apply products like toner or micellar water. Just toss them in the included laundry bag and put them in the wash when they need to be cleaned.
Managing editor of branded content Caitie Schlisserman swears by this massager: “I try and use it every night and always feel like my skin looks more awake, less dark and bleh, and it honestly just feels good at the end of a long day.”
If you’re going to complain that this isn’t a gadget or tool, I want you to think again. Not only is this satin pillowcase so nice to sleep on and super stylish, but it also prevents frizz and breakage. Plus, it won’t absorb your nighttime skin products and prevents any sleep lines or creases.
The struggle can be so real when you’re dealing with tangled, knotted hair. The Tangle Teezer really helps you get those knots out without wrecking your strands. You can use it on both wet and dry hair.
This tool looks really scary, but when used correctly, it can really transform your dry, calloused feet. Use it gently on your feet and don’t forget to moisturize afterward!
Ingrown hairs and razor bumps are often caused by a lack of exfoliation. Keep your skin smooth by massaging it with this brush to gently clear dead skin cells and lift any stubborn ingrown hairs.
Say goodbye to your blotting papers. This face roller is amazing for oily skin because it’s made of volcanic stone, which soaks up excess oil. An added bonus? Rolling the device all over your face is like a mini face massage.
Schlisserman says her skin always looks fresher, brighter, and smoother after using this tool. She recommends practicing using the different suctions and levels on your hand first because you might see some bruising if you’re using the device incorrectly.
Fans of dry-brushing say it helps with reducing the appearance of cellulite. While that usage might not work for some, it’s just a good overall exfoliating tool for softer skin. Next up, my WFH desk is nothing without these 4 beauty products handy.
