8. Charcoal Face Mask
Activated charcoal goes to work binding oil and toxins lodged deep in pores, especially across the forehead, nose, and chin. Many versions also blend in bentonite or kaolin clay for an extra-deep cleanse. This is how blackheads loosen their grip.

10. Clay Foot Mask
A clay foot mask coats rough heels and callused arches in a detoxifying blanket. Over time, the texture softens hardened skin, paving the way for smoother feet.

Paraffin wax hand mitts capture the heat to boost effectiveness. That retained warmth encourages better blood circulation and eases tension in stiff muscles. At the same time, the trapped moisture works hard beneath the surface, deeply hydrating skin in one relaxing session.
13. Aromatherapy Inhaler
Just one quick whiff of an aromatherapy inhaler offers calming, energizing, or focusing benefits, depending on the blend inside. Because they don’t rely on flame or batteries, there’s no setup or spill risk—just a quick, mess-free dose of relief.
