Leaving your skincare issues in the hands of an esthetician has become common practice — at least we hope so. Visiting a facial specialist at least every 4-6 weeks is ideal, but following a strict routine outside of the office is key for achieving and maintaining your skincare goals. Sticking to the standard cleaning, exfoliating, toning, and moisturizing routine is a great start, but there is a bit more you can do to improve the overall look and feel of your skin. And this is where a few skincare tools can help you step up your beauty game.

The idea of using skincare tools may seem like overkill for your routine, but using the right one can go a long way in preserving your melanin-rich complexion. For example, using a facial steamer allows you to loosen up built up dirt, oil and debris from your face to help you achieve a deeper clean, according to esthetician Essence Moore of The Lineage Skin & Har Studio.

So, in the spirit of giving your skin the TLC that it needs, we’ve compiled six skincare tools that should have a permanent place in your arsenal. From ice rollers to makeup removing cloths, here are five must-have tools that your skin will thank you for. Happy Shopping!

Rubbing your face with an ice roller may sound like a dealbreaker, but it’s actually a great way to alleviate some of your skincare issues. An ice roller is another form of cryotherapy that works to reduce the temperature of the body for healing purposes, according to Healthline. And in the case of an ice roller, you’ll be able to reduce puffiness, redness and help your products absorb into your skin better. Not to mention, it can also help fight back against signs of aging. Give it a try with the help of the BeautyBio Cryo Skin Icing Dual-Ended Roller ($85.00, Sephora.com). It’s a bit pricey, but worth it and this all goes the distance.
