SPECIAL MENTION: Hydrogel moisturizing masks are all the rage these days, but the majority of products on store shelves are mass-produced, and don’t always align to the user’s unique facial features. South Korean beauty company Amorepacific aims to change that by equipping cosmetic stores with a 3D printer that produces custom-made moisturizing masks in minutes. After scanning their face with a smartphone app, customers will be able to purchase a mask that reflects their features, such as their face size, the location of their eyes, nose and mouth, skin type, and more. —Jared Lindzon
