“This makes DIYing a bouncy blowout genuinely easy even if you have zero styling skills (hello, that would be me). The dry brush attachment gives my fine hair a ton of body and shine, and the curling attachments are clutch for next-day touch-ups." —LAUREN BALSAMO, BEAUTY DIRECTOR

This French Pharmacy Shower Oil

Bioderma Atoderm Shower Oil

Atoderm Shower Oil

"Before I was a beauty editor, I'd scour Reddit for the best beauty products, namely those loved by people outside of the U.S. A brand that constantly came up was Bioderma, largely for their micellar water. But I quickly learned a sleeper hit was this shower oil, a moisturizing body wash that helped remove dirt, gunk, and oil from your entire body in the same manner a cleansing oil works on your face. I emptied multiple bottles throughout college and beyond, creating a reputation for myself as someone with extremely soft skin along the way, pretty much all thanks to this simple formula." —BETH GILLETTE, BEAUTY EDITOR

"Another one from Bioderma, because the French pharmacy skincare brand is that good! I use micellar water every time I’m about to do my skincare—even when I’m not removing makeup—just to freshen up, and Bioderma's H2O Micellar Water is the perfect pre-skincare step. It simultaneously takes off my makeup and makes my face feel so clean and refreshed without ever stripping my skin or drying me out. And honestly, there’s no better time to stock up on skincare basics like micellar water than during a sale." —JASMINE HYMAN, ASSISTANT BEAUTY EDITOR

"Beauty director Lauren Balsamo went to Seoul and brought back tons of goodies for our beauty team (best boss ever), including this sunscreen. I used this bottle all last summer, ultimately picking up my own tube when I ventured to South Korea myself because I loved it so much. It's so lightweight and gentle on my skin—so much so that I actually looked forward to slathering it on." —BG

"My first boss turned me onto this CC cream nearly a decade ago and I haven't looked back. I recommend this to anyone who doesn't love the heaviness from full-coverage foundation but needs/wants more coverage than a tinted moisturizer "or skin tint typically offers. The formula is buildable and really camouflages acne and redness without getting cakey. Not to mention it has SPF 50, making it great for the summer months." —LB

"I'm an LED mask devotee, but on mornings when I don't have more than five minutes to do my skincare routine, I'm obsessed with how easy the Solawave wand is for treating smaller and more targeted areas on my face. I also love traveling with it because I usually don't have room for an entire mask in my carry-on." —JH

It increases the penetration power of all your hydrating skincare products for the glass skin of your dreams, and I love using it as a mini facial sculpting device.

"The Sol De Janeiro body mists are some of the best-selling perfumes out there right now, because not only do they smell like a freakin' holiday in the sun Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen style, but they last a surprising length of time on skin for a spritz. Your summer self will thank you when you've got a few to choose from. I, personally, love mixing them too. Carioca Crush and Summer E Amor together? Chef's kiss—a juicy, yummy combo."—BG

ZitSticka Acne Patches

"My cystic acne is so gnarly these days that regular old pimple patches just don’t cut it. But Zitsticka’s with their salicylic acid micro darts? Gold. As soon as I feel a big one brewing, I slap one of these babies on before bed and I swear in the morning my pimple is like like half the size of what if it would be If I didn’t use a patch. They’re kinda pricey compared to other pimples patches, so I’ll be stock piling while they’re 40 percent off."—LB

"Creme de Corps isn’t exactly new and exciting, but it’s classically good and always gets the job done. It’s strikes the balance of rich and moisturizing yet silky and non-sticky.
