“I know a lip balm is good when I will tear apart my handbag—tossing ten to twelve others aside, looking for a specific tube. My latest obsession? Laneige’s Rose Jam, which not only tastes and smells like rose, but leaves lips noticeably softer and smoother.”—Jenna Rosenstein, beauty director

“I turned 35 this month, and I feel like my neck is starting to succumb to gravity’s relentless pull—so I’ve been obsessively applying this neck moisturizer morning and night. After three weeks, I feel like I am noticing a difference in the look of the horizontal lines (I’m also coupling it with at-home radiofrequency treatments).”—JR
“In the past year, eye creams have become a staple in my skin care routine—I apply them every night with my heavier moisturizers to combat dull, tight skin that thrives in dry air (courtesy of the radiator in the winter and the AC in the summer). I’ve recently started using True Botanicals’ new eye cream and love how it immediately sinks into the skin, leaving a soft, matte finish that won’t rub off in my sleep. Naturally, it pairs well with the Chebula Serum and Radiance Oil, all-time favorites of mine.” —Michella Oré, fashion commerce editor

“I’ve been using natural deodorant for years now—many have been ok, others have managed to make the odors they’re supposed to minimize worse, but only a few have been stellar. Oak Essential’s blue tansy deodorant is one of them. It glides on smooth and clear (don’t let the blue coloring scare you) and has kept me smelling fresh all day, even as summer humidity starts to creep back into the city.” —MO
“There’s something about bergamot that always screams luxury perfume to me. I’ve only been wearing this for a few weeks, but I’ve never gotten so many compliments on a scent before.”—Sarah Olivieri, senior designer

“Getting this shower filter was one of the best decisions I’ve made so far this year. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to install. The water pressure and detachable head are amazing, and I love the added bonus of knowing that the water that’s coming out is purified.”—SO
“Not technically a product, but I really recommend you make a visit to Karina Kazarian in New York’s Greenwich Village for one of the buccal massages, which fuses together facial-grade skincare with massage techniques. The treatment focuses on your inner cheeks to increase blood and oxygen supply and collagen production. It also releases the muscle tension which after a long stint of flying I badly needed. You’ve heard of Botox in a bottle; this is Botox on the bed. No needles required!”—Lynette Nylander, executive digital director

“While I like going around with a full kit of supplies– think two lip liners, mints, a full wallet, books, and three makeup palettes–I don’t like it to feel like I am. This Kitsch brush is light as air and really focuses on detangling, which is super helpful to my naturally curly hair. And it’s incredibly well-priced.” —LN
“This is liquid gold in a bottle. I was lucky enough to visit Ricari Studios recently for one of their signature massages, and this was used as an end-of-treatment kicker, and I have never felt anything so fragrant. I immediately found out what it was and have to pass on this secret for glowing and soft skin.”—LN

“Unreal is a funny name for this product, because the best thing about it is how real it looks. I’ve been dabbing a little on my cheekbones pretty much every day, and it picks up the light beautifully without looking too done or dramatic.”—Izzy Grinspan, digital director
“Never in a million years did I think I would get excited about lotion in the form of a rock, but a friend got me this two-pack of ‘body stones’ as a gift recently, and I’m completely obsessed. The Jasmine and Sweet Orange scent, in particular, is gorgeous and smells exactly like springtime. And there’s something very fun and special-feeling about the fact that it comes in the form of a solid—it’s like taking a shower with bar soap, but, you know, luxe.” —IG

“This winter has done a number on my skin, and with the constant ups and downs in temperatures, I have been relying on Salt + Stone’s body lotion daily for extra moisture. I like that it’s not greasy and absorbs quickly, leaving skin smooth to the touch, and, most importantly, smells amazing! The Santal & Vetiver are divinely earthy and woody—some of my favorite bases for scents.” —Kristina Rutkowski, temporary e-commerce editor
“You might scoff at spending $47 on a lip balm, but Augustinus Bader’s is truly worth it. I like how soft and smooth it goes on when applying—no sticky residue here! It truly makes my lips feel amazing afterward, and I appreciate that it’s packed with vitamins and soothing oils and is paraben-free. If you have dry lips, this delivers!” —KR

“As someone who’s dealt with breakouts for a majority of their life, I’m a big fan of the power of hydrocolloid patches in shrinking zits down to size. These fun ones from Rhode’s collaboration with The Biebers not only look cute, but also actually work overnight to reduce the appearance of my pimples and blemishes. I’m also a fan of the collection’s hydrating peptide lip balm and soothing under-eye patches, too.” —Tiffany Dodson Davis, beauty commerce editor
“I struggle with the more than occasional dark spot, but for some reason, it’s difficult for me to stay loyal to daily vitamin C application to reduce their appearance. Bloomeffects’s Royal Tulip Vitamin C Facial Oil is one of the few brightening serums I’ve been consistent with, partly because it’s enjoyable to apply and partly because I’ve noticed the vibrancy in my skin after I use it.” —TDD

“This barely-there pencil makes it clear that Anastasia Beverly Hills is no stranger to brow innovation. I was previously a die-hard fan of the brand’s Brow Wiz pencil, but the ArchiBrow Microblade takes detailing up a few notches and really provides natural, hair-like strokes that make it easy to achieve the perfect no-makeup-makeup look.” —TDD
“The moment Cyklar announced they were launching a self-tanning product, I quite literally sprinted to my credit card. I had already fallen in love with the original Milky Essence formula, which glides so smoothly on the skin. The tanning version is no different—it blends seamlessly and dries down without leaving you feeling sticky. And for added luxury, there’s no transfer on my sheets. It’s definitely one of the easiest tanning products I’ve ever tried—I’ve found my new summer staple!” —Olivia Alchek, senior designer

“I fell in love with Victoria Beckham’s Blush Color Wash Tint last year, and was so excited to see they launched a bronze version! The formula is so luxurious and subtle, as if you’re painting your face with a diffused watercolor to achieve a warm glow from within. It’s dewy without being sticky, blends easily, and it lasts all day long without budging.” —OA
“I’ve been looking for an easy way to add collagen and biotin into my wellness routine, but I hate adding too many pills into my rotation. These hair, skin, and nail gummies were an easy addition and surprisingly delicious. And as an added bonus, they’re plant-based, gluten-free, and have no added sugar.” —OA
