Yes, it’s true. You finally have an excuse to make over your entire beauty routine. From focusing on caring for your skin after all it's been faced with this summer (thanks to beach and pool time on repeat) to giving your body some much-needed TLC (hello, moisturizer!) and nourishing strawlike strands, here are the skin, makeup, hair, and body essentials you need right now.
Skin Saver
Not all moisturizers are created equal. That’s because while some undoubtedly hydrate as promised, others take it to a new level. Case in point: The a.m. and p.m. heavy hitter Perricone MD Neuropeptide Facial Cream Duo. This morning and nighttime velvety cream treatment truly does it all, by helping soften skin’s texture and addressing the appearance of wrinkles.
Brighten Up
Skincare experts agree that vitamin C is a tried-and-true skincare ingredient, with decades of science-backed research. The TATCHA Violet C Serum + The Essence 2-Piece Kit has everything you need to help exfoliate, leaving skin looking brighter and healthier-looking. Next, finish with a light layer of the Japanese-based beauty brand’s super-hydrating essence for a powerful, two-step, complexion-perfecting punch.
Repair Your Hair
After a summer of scorching your skin and your strands, Tweak’d by Nature Peaches and Cream SS Balm & Rescue Cream is a dynamic duo that unlocks baby-soft skin and lush, bouncy hair. What we love about this game-changing multitasking combo: First, you can slather the ultra-hydrating, all-purpose whipped cream on your skin from forehead to feet. Second, the hydrating hair balm can be applied to all textures while wet to transform strands before you blow-dry. Need to tame some flaways? Use it as a finisher to perfect your style too.
Glow Up
Think you couldn’t possibly part with your current foundation? Think again. A few swipes of IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation with Brush and you’ll see your complexion transform right before your eyes. From forming a sheer wash of coverage to full-on foundation, this natural-looking formula contains skincare-worthy ingredients such as mega-moisturizing hyaluronic acid and aloe vera extract, plus vitamins E and B5. And with 41 shades to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find your perfect match.
Focus on Your Body
While you likely spend a painstaking amount of time curating the products you apply to your face, you probably pick a body cream without giving it a second thought. However, the skin on your body requires similar attention. That’s why we love Josie Maran Argan Apothecary Daily Repair Body Butter, a whipped, airy texture that seems to melt into skin on contact. But what really sets it apart from your basic body cream: it’s free of mineral oil as well as harsh synthetic ingredients and fragrances. It’s also laced with skin-soothing colloidal oatmeal as well as 100% pure Moroccan argan oil, aloe leaf juice, and shea butter. The result: instant hydration.
