24 Game-Changing Grooming Products That Are Freaking Genius
Personal grooming choices are just that — very personal. While some of us have a full on grooming routine, others are content with doing little or nothing, and that’s A-okay. If there’s one thing that brings us together, it’s game-changing grooming products that boost our efficiency, save money, or get us out the door faster.
There are a shocking amount of products out there that can change the way you see daily grooming — such as nail polish top coats that make manis dry almost instantly, sprays that basically remove body hair, and foot masks that make calluses peel right off. It's not right that some of us are out there, slowly picking at our heels, without this vital knowledge.
You just know that a light bulb lit up above the heads of whoever it was that invented these genius products, because they're not only time-saving — they also get the job done easier than before. For example, did you know you can buy a flosser that cleans between your teeth with just water?

Gentle Bees Hair Remover Wax Kit, $14, Amazon
This hair removing wax kit uses hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic bees sugar wax to get rid of hair wherever you don't want it.

9. This Coffee Scrub That's Packed With Antioxidants
First Botany Arabica Coffee Scrub, $15, Amazon
Amazon users swear by this coffee scrub, which has more than 4,000 impressive reviews. It's made of organic coffee grounds, dead sea salt, and coconut oil to both exfoliate and moisturize skin at the same time, stimulating blood flow and making your skin firmer. Its caffeine content can even be helpful in waking up the skin around your eyes. One reviewer writes: "Hands down this is the BEST product I've ever bought for myself! I honestly have been getting so many compliments on my skin and how good I look."

Seche Vite's fast-drying top coat is a legend in the beauty community for good reason: It seriously dries your nail polish fast, and it keeps your manicure on point for days. It also won't change the color of your nail polish, as opposed to a lot of other top coats that pull yellow.
14. This Skin Product That Prevents Stubborn Ingrown Hairs
Tend Skin The Skin Care Solution, $19, Amazon
This skincare product can be applied post shave or wax to prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs, but it can also be used to get rid of existing ingrown hairs. It's great to use anywhere you have an issue — and reviewers rave about it working everywhere from the armpits to the head.

16. This Nail File That Does All The Work For You
Tweezerman Shape and Shine Nail Tool, $10, Amazon

17. This Bikini Trimmer That Makes Shaving Sensitive Areas A Breeze
Panasonic Bikini Shaper And Trimmer, $17, Amazon

If you choose to shape or trim around your bikini area, this cordless option can do both — and reviewers love how much money they save when they don't have to purchase as many disposable razors.
18. These Tiny Razors Designed For Your Eyebrows
Shiseido Eyebrow Razor, $6 (3 Pack), Amazon
These small, precision eyebrow razors can be used to remove hair around the eyebrows quickly and without plucking. They have safety guards to prevent you from cutting your face, too, so they're safe to use on your upper lip and other regions. One reviewer writes: "They are super sharp and there is no pressure required to shave off even the finest hairs and dead skin. Just lightly glide it over your skin and it all comes right off. Yet at the same time, there is little to no danger of cutting yourself as with a 'normal' straight razor because of the serration on one edge."
19. This Brush That Gives You A Massage While You Shampoo
Scalpmaster Shampoo Brush, $4, Amazon
This shampoo brush is designed to be used in the shower with your regular shampoo — it removes buildup from your scalp and gives you a little mini massage, too. The stimulated blood flow helps grow hair and it'll keep your follicles healthier.
20. This Brush That Perfectly Applies Face Masks
Hansderma Skinsoft Facial Mask Brush, $5, Amazon

Tweezerman Safety Slide Callus Shaver, $9, Amazon
This innovative tool contains a steel shaver that removes thin layers of dead skin — such as the calluses that tend to form on the heel area — and a stainless steel rasp that smoothes the shaved area afterwards.
