Blithe
Splash masks (also called pat masks) are brilliant. Instead of waiting around for 20 minutes like you would with a regular face mask, they work in just 15 seconds. This rejuvenating formula is a favorite. Just pat on your face in the shower, wait 15 seconds and boom — gorgeous, glowing skin. Now that's fast!

Another favorite must-have is Drunk Elephant's new Babyfacial. Forget about indulging in a facial that costs upward of $150 (although it's nice to pamper yourself every so often!). This good-for-your-skin formula will help to improve skin's texture and give you a more youthful-looking complexion in under 20 minutes. Watch the latest Girls episode and by the show's end, you'll have glowy skin.
