Sorting through a multitude of skin, hair, body, and nail care products is a vital skill to have as a beauty editor. Every month we have the task of finding the latest and best releases on the market, subjecting our body, hair, face and nails to different formulas and innovations. Testing the product is one of the best parts of the job and the most honest way to provide accurate recommendations for all readers, so we take it very seriously. And while it can be a daunting process to try out so many items at once, there are always standouts that make it worthwhile, especially among the best skincare and haircare products of summer 2022.

Brighter Cleanser Concentrate
“If you are looking for a gentle and easy cleanser, Glossier Cleanser Concentrate is the best choice. By massaging the lightweight oil formula into my skin for 60 seconds, I get gentle exfoliation and a glowing, healthy complexion with every use. Grape extract and lactic acid are among the ingredients that help replenish dull skin, while niacinamide, a standout ingredient on its own, works to restore pores. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed with this affordable purchase.” — Natasha Marsh, Beauty Articles Writer, TZR
Olive and June Nail Polish
“I love a bold, sparkly manicure as much as the next person, but I often notice the smudges left by highly pigmented colors, especially on my toes, an area where polish too often sits too long. To help combat stains, I have been using Olive & June nail polish. Formulated with lemon peel and lemon peel extract, it helps to both conceal blemishes and brighten nails. Not only that, but with its stain guard it even helps keep my new growth from fading. It has become my most trusted pedicure tool, showing an improvement in my natural pigment in just one week.” – New Mexico
Sanitas Milk & Honey Cleaner
“A product loved by me, my sisters, my mother and my brother, Sanitas Milk & Honey Cleanser is a formula that I return to month after month. The creamy formula glides over my face in the smoothest way, removing impurities and replenishing my frequent flyer skin. It has sustainable honey and B vitamins that work over time to make my face feel baby soft and more hydrated.” – New Mexico
Ginger Lily Peach Melt Oil Cleanser
“I have been on three round trip flights this month alone and this oil cleaner has been in every single checked bag. Now that I’m nearing the bottom, I go in with a bomb instead of my usual two, knowing that it will soon be empty and I’ll have to resupply. I love how gentle it is on my skin, yet it’s still very effective at cleansing and removing the day’s impurities. I also really appreciate that it doesn’t leave a waxy film.” — Annie Blay, Associate Beauty News Editor, TZR
Klorane Nourishing Mask 2 in 1 With Mango
“Just spent a month at the beach and while it was rejuvenating for the soul and mind, the salt water and UV rays weren’t so mane-friendly. It was not practical to wash and condition my hair every day, as I went to the beach and took a bath several times a day, but about every other day, I used this hair mask and it brought my hair back to its original state. silky smooth texture immediately.” — Kathy Lee, Editor-in-Chief, TZR
La Roche Posay Micellar Cleansing Water
“With the multiple reapplications of sunscreen, toner, and serum I was doing throughout the day, I used this gentle micellar cleansing water with a cotton pad beforehand to ensure I was thoroughly cleansing and clearing my pores to prevent any breakouts. . It can be tricky to maintain the right balance of moisture on your face between all the skincare products and sunscreens used and the intense summer heat, but with this soothing cleansing water, I was finally able to find the combination of products that works. for my skin.” — KL
Ahava face serum
“I had the opportunity to visit Israel’s epic Dead Sea this spring and took this serum home with me as a souvenir. Little did I know that the mineral-rich waters would work their magic well after my trip, courtesy of this truly revolutionary formula. The unique blend of Dead Sea minerals leaves my skin smooth and glowing and has reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just weeks! I am really sold and already ordering my next bottle. I bought my mother a bottle and she is a believer too!” — Angela Melero, executive editor, TZR
Innisfree Intensive Moisturizing Eye Cream with Green Tea Seed
“I love this eye cream because it feels hydrating on my skin and doesn’t irritate my face. The smooth product, which contains Jeju green tea extract and green tea seed oil, melts on my face when I apply it at night. The scent is amazing too – it’s light but strong enough to calm me down before bed. Although I don’t think the eye cream will get rid of my dark circles (as the product description suggests), I use it more for its moisturizing properties, so I would buy it again for that.” — Marina Liao, Senior Fashion News Editor, TZR
Alastin HA Dipping Serum
“I have always been a huge fan of Alastin products, and the brand’s new hyaluronic acid serum is a must for my chronically dry skin. It uses a patented Octapeptide-45 to boost the skin’s ability to increase its own production of HA, as well as Hexapeptide-11 to combat enzymes that break down the skin’s natural HA. All of that equates to super smooth and hydrated skin, and I’ve noticed a huge difference since adding this to my skincare routine. I’m down to the last drop and I need a recharge ASAP.” — Hannah Baxter, Associate Beauty Editor, TZR
Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream Plumping & Hydrating Moisturizer
“Tatcha never veers me off course when it comes to my skin, which is why I’ve used three bottles of my favorite Dewy Skin moisturizer over the last year. It leaves your skin looking and feeling so soft and smooth that you can hardly resist admiring your own reflection in every mirror you pass. If you have dry skin, this formula is a must.” —HB
Summer Fridays ShadeDrops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen
“I brought an entire wardrobe with SPF on a recent vacation, and this one from Summer Fridays was my favorite of the bunch (and the one I wore the fastest). I applied this every morning and loved that it absorbed instantly with no residue. It’s hydrating, lightweight, and doesn’t pill, making it a great option to reapply throughout the day as well. I prefer to use mineral SPFs on my face because chemical SPFs tend to make me break out, so this is a keeper.” — Faith Xue, Executive Director of Beauty, BDG
Jillian Dempsey The Brights Eyeliner
“I’ve been obsessed with colorful eyeliner for my summer beauty looks, and this one from makeup artist Jillian Dempsey is the perfect shade of bright blue, poppy, and cerulean. It goes on creamy and smooth and stays put, even on my super oily lids. Plus, it’s waterproof, vegan, and cruelty-free, which I love. I traded it in for my regular black eyeliner and it’s my new obsession.” – Special effects
Hugh & Grace Renewing Night Serum
“I have oily skin and although it sounds contradictory, I have always been in favor of oil-based products. I recently rotated into this renewing night serum and without fail have been looking for it every night. It is 100% natural, made with rosehip, cherry, grapeseed and raspberry seed oil. The hormone-free formula definitely feels more like a thick oil than a light serum, but it’s so luscious and hydrating that it’s often the only moisturizer I need. Ten out of ten will recover”. — Taylor Jean Stephan, Contributor, TZR
Make Beauty Eyebrow Sculpting Gel
“I recently tried Make Beauty Sculpting Brow Gel and all I can say is ‘wow’. Trust me, that’s saying a lot (I’m pretty picky as my brows are my signature look). Your cult-favorite clear gel is not only housed in a beautiful heavy white tube (I’m always a sucker for well-done packaging), but it actually works. The formula is made with advanced polymers that sculpt and set hair without leaving a crusty white residue. I’ve already been through two tubes (probably because I use it every day).” — JST
La Roche Posay Anthelios Ultra-light fluid mineral facial sunscreen with zinc oxide SPF 50
“My sensitive, melasma-prone skin puts this mineral sunscreen to the test every day with long runs and walks in the heat. For the first summer in a long time, the brown spots have not progressed at all, a big, big win in my opinion. Even when completely drenched in sweat, the formula holds. It leaves a stark, almost comical white cast, but I prefer that to the burn, irritation, and uneven tone every time” — Amanda Ross, Beauty News Writer, TZR
