Best Moisturizer: Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

Many moisturizers are heavy and clog up skin, but not this one. The weightless formula delivers instant hydration, without making our skin look or feel greasy.

Best Sunscreen: La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL SPF 50+ Fluid Ultra-Light

Finding a sunscreen that doesn’t make us look like a member of the Addams Family was a real challenge… till we met this one. The runny lotion goes on invisibly to provide all-day protection.

Best Face Mask: Origins Retexturizing Mask With Rose Clay

This pastel pink mask is as delightful to use as it looks. As a mask, it cools and nourishes skin. When you go to wash it off, it transforms into a gritty scrubs that buffs away any dullness or flaky spots.

Best Multi-Use Product (Skincare): La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo (+)

From zits to scars, this baby battles them all. Using it daily has definitely improved the texture of our skin.

Best Product For Dry Hair: Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist

Our Editor-in-Chief swears by this purple tube. With its magical ability to nourish strands in less than the time it takes to sing along to ‘Closer’, this conditioner is one of the most talked about hair products in our office.

Best Product For Damaged Hair: Kerastase Initialiste Advanced Scalp and Hair Concentrate

We’ve always heard that the key to good hair lies in the scalp. This serum strengthens strands from the root, to prevent hair fall and breakage. In addition, it also makes our hair look glossy and oh so touchable.
