January is a time for reinvention and reorganization, and your beauty stash is a great place to start. Once you’ve tossed all the dried out, expired and unflattering products in your bathroom, you’ll need to restock. Fortunately, there are plenty of exciting new beauty product launches — and they’re all available at the drugstore. So even if you resolved to keep your finances in check this year, you can indulge.
January Must-Buys

A New Way to Wash
You can finally toss your (questionably germy) pouf. This new body wash innovation is a dual-sided sponge (one side is gentle while the other exfoliates) that's infused with body wash. It lasts through 30 uses and leaves skin feeling clean and lightly moisturized.

Set or Prep Spray
There are plenty of makeup setting sprays out there, but this one is special because it can also be used to prep skin before makeup. Regardless when you spray it, it helps makeup last all day without creasing and it keeps skin matte yet natural looking.

Frizz Fighter
If you're looking to minimize frizz or static, this spray will be your new best friend. It's a super fine mist that feels dry to the touch, yet it deposits a layer of humidity-repelling argan oil onto the hair. It won't mess with your style at all, but it will definitely help preserve it.
