This hydrating, lightweight primer is basically guaranteed to be the MVP (most valuable product) in your beauty routine. The clear gel formula creates a smooth base, locks on makeup for up to 12 hours, and gives you a fresh, dewy glow. Bonus: It’s made with hyaluronic acid and hemp-derived cannabis seed extract, which plumps and smooths skin. BRB, stocking up. ($38, Sephora)*

If you follow Hailey Bieber’s skincare recommendations religiously (just us?), you know she and her brand are obsessed with peptides. They help to heal and strengthen the skin barrier, which in turn prevents pollution, sun damage, and even acne. Immediate yes. This cream is a little easier to get your hands on and also contains hyaluronic acid and shea butter to deeply hydrate. It’s a thick cream, but we use it year-round. ($20+, Sephora)

If you frequently use dry shampoo to stretch your blowout life between washes, you’ll want to use a cleansing shampoo at least once a week to remove build-up and maintain a healthy scalp. This one is apple cider vinegar-based, but, get this, smells absolutely heavenly. The addition of keratin ensures your locks won’t be stripped, but instead will dry soft and shiny. ($14+, Sephora)

Supergoop’s Glowscreen won Allure’s Best of Beauty Award in 2020 for good reason. The original is slightly tinted with a pearlescent finish that’s perfect for minimal makeup days, or as a primer underneath your foundation. Plus, the three new shades mean you’ll be able to find one that works for your skin tone. No matter what, the SPF 40 protects your skin, while the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide nourish and hydrate. ($38, Sephora)

As sticky, hot days loom near, we could all use extra protection from humidity. Just apply this to clean, towel-dried hair and blow dry. The heat-activated polymers will protect your strands from extra moisture for up to four washes. It works for all hair types, from straight to curly. ($12+, Sephora)

The perfect match for your Flawless Filter, this pressed powder hides imperfections and reduces shine instantly, even on days where your natural dewiness is really just sweat. It comes in four shades and even a mini size for stashing in your purse. ($48, Sephora)

We come back to this gentle cleanser time and time again when our skin feels angry, over-exfoliated (happens to the best of us), or in the need of a little extra TLC. Soy proteins cleanse and tighten pores, while cucumber extract and aloe vera soothe. The mini size is great for traveling. ($15+, Sephora)

Feeling like you’re wearing a lot of makeup? This formula literally melts into your face with light-to-medium coverage that allows the natural beauty of your skin to show through. It’s oil-free, so it won’t cause breakouts, but still gives you a dewy, radiant finish. Plus, it’s available in two sizes and over 20 shades. Find the one for you. ($45+, Sephora)

If it’s good enough for Selena Gomez, it’s more than good enough for us. We confess; we also love this liquid blush. It’s highly pigmented, so just dab a few dots on your cheeks and blend out with a brush or Beautyblender. It comes in more than 10 shades, both matte and radiant, so you’re sure to find the right pigment for you. ($23, Sephora)

Skimm HQ'rs love — and we mean love — this famous Laneige overnight lip mask. Apply a generous layer over your lips before bed and let the vitamin C and antioxidants work their magic. This one comes in four different scents and includes an applicator to help keep your fingers clean. Plus, you can wear it during the day for a glossy, healthy look. ($24, Sephora)

The TikTok girls were right about this one. Just apply a layer all over your face (or only on your T-zone if that’s where you’re the most oily), leave it on for 10 minutes, and then watch as all the dirt and gunk is lifted out of your pores. Horrifying and satisfying at the same time? Check and check. ($22, Sephora)

If you’re wary of the “retinol uglies” (the flakiness and purging that happens when you first start using retinol), this serum is great for beginners. It’s made with encapsulated retinol that smoothes and releases slowly for less irritation, plus AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids usually derived from fruits or plants) that gently exfoliate. Start with one to two nights per week, and be sure to wear sunscreen during the day. ($30+, Sephora)

Make sure your skin is in tip-top shape for its spring reveal. This formula with skin-healing niacinamide and peptides is light as air and dries almost instantly. Apply it when you hop out of the shower, and trust us, by the time you pull your clothes on, you won’t be sticky or tacky at all. Plus, it’s fragrance-free, so it’s safe for sensitive skin. ($15+, Sephora)

Hyaluronic acid is an essential part of every skincare routine, whether it’s in a toner, serum, or moisturizer. This one comes from a brand that’s all about soothing the skin barrier and reducing inflammation, something we could all use coming out of the harsh winter months. It’s made with low- and high-weight hyaluronic acid molecules that help your skin retain moisture. Sign us up. ($110+, Sephora)

Speaking of something that’s worth the splurge, we’re happy to report that once we got our hands on the Dyson hair dryer, we were never the same. It cuts our drying time in half (we can’t believe it either) and gives us the softest, most frizz-free blow out, all within the comfort of our home. It also reduces heat damage, so just think how much good you’re doing for your locks. Win. ($429, Sephora)
