5. Olay Magnemask Infusion Hydrating Jar Mask Starter Kit
There’s nothing more pampering than a good face mask, especially one that specialises in nourishing dry or rough skin (you just know that bad boy must melt into your skin). This hydrating, niacinamide-heavy mask comes with a Magnetic Infuser tool that helps the product to penetrate further into the skin, but – in even better news – the relaxing circular motions in which you use the Infuser to massage the mask in, could not be more soothing. Bliss.
