8. A set of Japanese skin-care essentials

Tatcha Bestsellers Set, available at Sephora, $60

Tatcha is a Japanese skin-care brand that makes gentle products with concentrated formulas. This bundle includes a bevy of Tatcha's "holy grail" skin-care products at a reasonable price. Not all of the products are new to 2019, but my experience with this skin-care regimen was. After just two weeks, I saw noticeable results using the four products. My skin was uncharacteristically soft, hydrated, and glowing; and I was able to leave the house sans makeup. I haven't looked back since. —Dominique McIntee, editorial fellow
