Our absolute favorite glossy lip balm |
 |
| Ruthie Darling/NYT Wirecutter |
This hydrating, plush lip balm looked good on just about every tester who tried it. The formula is lightweight and non-sticky — and it comes in more than a dozen flattering shades. The glossy finish also seems to float above lines and texture, so it looks good on anyone: A 70-something tester said it made her lips look luscious.

Your daily deal: The buffing bar our beauty experts swear by |
 |
| Soft Services |
This scrubby bar has a sandpaper-esque texture that feels surprisingly delightful — “like a good back scratch,” our beauty editor says. It’s designed to help with rough elbows, ingrown hairs, and other texture concerns. And after testing them for several weeks, we found they really did deliver on the promise of smoother skin.

One last thing: This gizmo can give you a (temporary) face-lift |
 |
| Michael Murtaugh/NYT Wirecutter |
Face-tightening tools use a low-level electrical current to allegedly plump and lift your skin. And after months of testing, we found that they can deliver noticeable definition for a day (although not much longer). Our favorite is comfortable to hold and simple to use — and leaves skin looking taut.
