Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Rejuvenating Body Scrub

L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Facial Self-Tanning Water Mist

“Nothing conveys summer like the smell of coconut and a slightly sun-kissed face, and this offers both. My skin is usually pale or sunburned, so I’ve never had a chance to enjoy a “tan” until now. The tint is subtle; it gives my freckled face just a hint of summer color.” —Kelly

Estée Lauder Supreme+ Youth Power Cream

“I have been plagued with dry skin for decades, and my parched 40-something-year-old face instantly fell in love with this cream. It has a refreshing feel and a pleasant floral scent. Doesn’t leave a heavy or oily feel like many others I’ve tried before.” —Kelly

Essie Hard to Resist Nail Strengthener

“Because nail polish tends to chip and peel, it’s been easier to avoid using it altogether. However, this transparent tint gives my hands a clean polished look and lasts. It glides on easily and dries quickly which is a big win for me. I am an artist and now I can post my painting videos, attend gallery openings and shake hands with renewed confidence.” —Kelly

Origins Mega-Mushroom Treatment Lotion

“This feels extremely refreshing and the scent is just as nice; It reminds me of an earthy cedar forest with subtle hints of citrus. I use it after washing my face but before moisturizing. It’s going to become part of my regular skincare routine.” —Kelly

Smashbox Photo Finish Illuminate Illuminating Primer

“This smoothes out any small blemishes and discolorations I have and makes my skin feel refreshed. For a natural look, I don’t layer over the foundation. I just added a bit of mascara and a nude brown lipstick.” —Franchesca

Ilia multi stick

“I enjoy the compact size of this multi stick and especially like that it can be used as a cheek tint without a mirror, blender or brush. I applied it on a moving vehicle! Very easy.” —Li-Ting
