Before you go on vacation, there is always a bit of prep-work (especially beauty-wise) required. We all want to look and feel our best in photos (not to mention the #selfies), but if you’re headed to the beach or on a romantic trip for two, a radiant complexion, perfectly manicured nails, and smooth skin are musts. A trip to the spa beforehand would be a bonus, but we say save the cash for your actual trip and DIY at home. We promise with the help of these tools, you’ll be more than happy with the results.

Clarisonic Mia 2, $180, clarisonic.ca

When to Start Using: You will see results immediately when using the Clarisonic according to Mala Seecharan, National Business Development/Retail Education Manager for Clarisonic. “The most noticeable changes that customers have reported are softer skin,” she says. That being said, we suggest starting at least 1 month before you plan to go away. Cleaning with the Clarisonic helps your skin absorb 61% more product than without sonic cleansing, so once you become a regular user you will also notice an extra boost thanks to your products working the way they should!
