Ma:nyo Air Light Moisturizing Sunscreen ($18)<\/p>\n
"If you're looking for a lightweight sunscreen that feels absolutely untraceable on the skin, this is it. The Air Light Moisturizing Sunscreen from Korean beauty brand Ma:nyo has a hydrating, creamy texture that melts into skin without any greasy residue or white cast. It layers beautifully under makeup, too." \u2014 Jessica Harrington, Section Lead, Beauty<\/p>\n
Skinfix Balancing Soft-Foam Pore-Minimizing Clay Cleanser ($30)<\/p>\n
"I've been using this face wash for a month now and it's so good. My face has been breaking out a lot recently and the four percent kaolin clay helps draw out congestion from my pores without being too drying. Sometimes I leave it on for a few minutes to dry a little, almost like a mask, to really let it work its magic." \u2014 Jessica Harrington, section lead, Beauty<\/p>\n
"The Fresh Soy Cleanser is editor-loved, so it comes as no surprise that the new Cleansing Jelly Balm is also a knockout. This lightweight, bouncy gel balm melts away makeup and leaves skin feeling squeaky clean but not stripped. The formula contains soy proteins for amino acids and chlorella extract, from green algae, to control oil." \u2014 Jessica Harrington, section lead, Beauty<\/p>\n
Drunk Elephant Kamo Triple-Peptide Cover Drops ($42)<\/p>\n
"Drunk Elephant launched its first-ever foundation, the Kamo Triple-Peptide Cover Drops. It's formulated with amino-acid-coated pigments, peptides, marula oil, green tea seed oil, and squalane, making it ultra hydrating and lightweight. I've been loving it for its customizable coverage and natural-looking finish. It comes in 25 shades." \u2014 Jessica Harrington, Section Lead, Beauty<\/p>\n
"Not to be dramatic but this product completely transformed the way I do my brows. If, like me, you fall on the low-maintenance side of the beauty spectrum, you'll love how seamlessly this stick adds subtle dimension (no skill required). Simply backcomb the tint through your hairs and brush upward to blend. The pomade texture will instantly give your brows a natural, lifted and fluffy shape." \u2014 Adi Giesey, shopping writer<\/p>\n
Aveda One For All Leave-In Elixir ($36)
\n"During the summer I find myself favoring multi-use products that make my routine quick and easy. This leave-in conditioner has done just that. Not only does it help hydrate my hair and leave a noticeable shine, but it also serves as a heat protectant. I simply brush through a few spritzes after the shower to easily detangle strands and give my hair the TLC it deserves." \u2014 Adi Giesey, shopping writer<\/p>\n
Dae Dreamriser Volumizing + Hydrating Hair Mousse ($30)<\/p>\n
"Hair mousse is my best friend as someone with fine hair. This new formula from Dae adds soft bounce and hold to my hair without making it feel crunchy or stiff. It works on my air-dried waves and sleek blowouts, adding volume and shine." \u2014 Jessica Harrington, section lead, Beauty<\/p>\n
Bio Ionic Twist Interchangeable Iron ($199)<\/p>\n
