Dermablend Poresaver Mattifying Primer

If I had one wish for skin it would be for my pores to disappear. Well, this primer is as close as possible to the magic wand that narrows the pores. It makes my skin look flawless even before I put on makeup, which means I can use less color—sometimes just concealer or tinted sunscreen. This primer also minimizes shine so when I use it in the morning I don't have to think about my face for the rest of the day.

Lancôme Pink milk spray

My love for facial mists runs deep - I swear they will set my makeup, refresh my skin throughout the day, and keep me cool during the hot, sticky summer months. I recently got this new mist from Lanc.ôme on a trip to Japan where the weather was usually in the 90s and it quite possibly saved my life (and my skin) from the heat and humidity. It's infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid, soothing rose water, and exfoliating salicylic acid that my dehydrated but sweaty skin needed. Plus, it weighs less than 3.4 ounces so I was able to take it on a plane with me and it fits easily in my shoulder bag.

Daily Ether Concentrate with Cannabis Sativa

It's not every day that I find a new serum that I can't wait to use on a regular basis and that's what makes this cannabis sativa concentrate so special. The formula is a pink balm that leaves your skin very supple, clean and calm. With just one to two swipes, I notice my skin texture becomes velvety smooth, making my SPF and CC cream apply with minimal effort. I'm completely hooked.

Kiehl's Avocado Nourishing Hydrating Mask

Because my love forKiehl's Avocado Eye Cream already so strong that I immediately knew that I would be a fan of the new Avocado Nourishing Hydrating Mask. The rich and creamy texture glides on skin while locking in moisture with a blend of avocado fruit extract, avocado oil and evening primrose oil. Pro Tip: Place it in the fridge to chill for an ultra-soothing cooling effect.

Indie Lee Squalane Facial Oil

Right now this squalane oil has been my favorite skin product. Last month, a facial specialist told me that my skin was a little dehydrated, and around the same time I was given this oil - I think the skin care gods knew that I needed it. I've been using this stuff for a while now and my skin has never looked or felt so soft, nourished and hydrated.

Saint Jane Luxury Body Serum

I'm new to CBD beauty and Saint Jane's Luxury Body Serum was a great introduction. Even though my dry skin needs constant hydration, I don't really like body lotions and (mistakenly) try to avoid them. But I love a good face serum and this product combines the benefits of a lotion with the light texture of a serum that I crave. Each bottle contains 200mg of CBD and vanilla and bourbon flavor, making it not only nutritious but also deliciously flavorful. To top it off, a little is enough, so this bottle will be in my stash for a while.

Vichy LiftActive Peptide-C Anti-Aging Moisturizer

I believe it's never too early to start using anti-aging products and since they hit the market a couple of weeks ago I've been obsessed with Vichy LiftActive Peptide-C anti-aging moisturizer. Promised to help offset the appearance of wrinkles and dull skin while brightening the complexion, this moisturizer has become an essential part of my morning (and sometimes evening) ritual. It has such a sweet citrus scent and the formula is so soft and luxurious that I seriously can't get enough of this product.

Urban Skin Rx Even Tone Super Radiance Serum

This is the first summer I've added serum to my daily skincare routine and it's the best decision I've ever made. The gel consistency of this melts into my skin and leaves it soft while eliminating the look of smile lines and dark spots. Now my face has a natural summer blush.
