As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Some of the best days, these days, seem to start when you're feeling down-and-out, wondering if the news alerts pinging your phone by the hour could get any weirder, and then in stomps a new skin-care product you've never tried before — all creamy or gel-like, ready and willing to lift you right up. At your service, you imagine them saying, as if that's not the scariest beauty equivalent to Toy Story ever.
You see, a good moisturiser or face mask (and no, not that one), or even a soothing sunscreen can work wonders at sparking joy or boosting your mood. Not even POPSUGAR beauty editors are immune. That's why we asked them to share the skin-care treatments that offer a dose of self-care on a less-than-perfect day — even though they all sort of blur together at this point.
