1. Toner
"A waste of your time and money," says dermatologist Leslie Baumann. "Toners were invented because cleansers used to leave a soapy film on your skin that had to be removed. Today's cleansers don't do that."

2. Foot Mask

3. Lip Exfoliator
Unless your lips are superflaky, a balm alone will keep them silky. Your lips are superflaky? After you've slathered on balm, wrap a tissue around your index finger and rub it over your lips. "You'll remove the flakes without risking irritation," says makeup artist Emily Kate Warren.
