The Skincare Products Our Editors Are Shopping Right Now
These must-haves will make you look good and feel good.
Stress is an enemy to great skin. Thankfully, one way to feel more centered and relaxed is by practicing the ritual of a thorough skin care routine. Our editors know this well, and are stocking up on some proven skincare products from Dermstore to round-out our existing routines. Ahead, the 15 essentials we love to look glowy on the outside and feel rejuvenated on the inside.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Glow Pad Self Tanner for Face
When going outside to see your spray-tanner (or the sun) just isn't an option, these pre-soaked tanning pads are the next best thing. Swipe it over your face, neck, and chest to develop a convincing and natural glow.
Packed with peptides and nourishing oils, this lip balm is saving our dry lips right now. Keep it next to you while you're working from home and reapply often.
Yes, you still need to wear sunscreen even when you're indoors. This formula makes it easy: it hydrates and primes and makes skin look instantly luminous, yet still protects with a weightless SPF 40.
First Aid Beauty Weightless Liquid Mineral Sunscreen with Zinc Oxide
If you want a mineral SPF, turn to this: a truly weightless SPF 30 zinc sunscreen in one universal sheer-nude tint that leaves behind absolutely no white cast.
Be your own facialist with this at-home steamer. It's vital to stay hydrated and moisturized right now, so we're turning to this steamer as a regular part of our weekly beauty routine.
This is the perfect time to invest in potent serums and actives—like vitamin c or retinol—and trial them on your skin. The classic CE Ferulic serum from SkinCeuticals is coveted for its ability to dramatically brighten dark spots, improve tone and texture, and firm skin. Just be sure to apply it in the morning.
There's never a wrong time to blast yourself with a hydrating face mist. First thing in the morning? Sure. After every email sent? Go for it. It's a refreshing experience that is sure to perk up your skin and mood.
If you're a fan of physical exfoliants, the Lancer skin polish is key for sloughing off dead skin cells and making skin feel smooth.
It looks like something out of Star Wars, but this face device uses the same LED technology as expert facialists to deliver both anti-aging and anti-acne results at home. The red and blue lights stimulate collagen and reduce inflammation (plus the three minutes of bright light just make us feel happier).
Great for all skin types, this cleansing oil makes the mundane experience of washing your face a little more luxe.
If you're anything like us, your Botox is running out. Until we can see our dermatologists again, we're relying on this to keep our faces looking taut and lifted: the beloved NuFACE device. It utilizes painless microcurrent technology to get your facial muscle standing at attention again. Do just half your face and you'll be shocked at the instant results.
Instead of wasting countless sheet masks, we're turning to this daily vitamin c mask instead. It's packed with gentle exfoliating fruit enzymes and skin-brightening vitamin C. Slather it on for up to 30 minutes, then wipe it off to reveal smoother, glowier skin.
This eye cream addresses all signs of tired or stressed eyes—fine lines, dehydration, dark circles, and puffiness. Tap it on morning and night for a little TLC.
Even though we're wearing less makeup than ever before, we're still applying the occasional swipe of mascara or lipstick for a video call. This micellar cleanser helps gently remove makeup without needing to wash your whole face.
We know we can't face-roll our way out of feeling the stress of the current situation—but we're sure going to try. Not only does it feel incredibly relaxing, but it helps tone and lift your muscles while increasing lymphatic drainage.
