From luxury skin and body care to innovative cosmetics and must-have hair products, these are the 10 products that are currently on our radar.
LOVE LIGHT LIPS ILLUMINATED LIP GLOSS WITH MIRROR (full size $22)
A healing lip gloss with an ingredient lineup that includes aloe, jojoba oil, vitamin E and shea butter to repair damage and instantly improve the look and texture of your lips. Popular for its hydrating abilities, jojoba oil acts as a deep-down strengthener to stop damage and chapping before they start. Probably present in your favorite lotion, powerhouse moisturizer shea butter tackles dryness and water loss on contact for smooth, supple skin.
Founders Ann and
Stacey said, “We created
an innovative beautiful lip
gloss designed with an
LED light and a mirror
on the bottle for the
perfect application.”
SPONGELLÉ BODY CONTOURING BUFFER WITH BUILT IN CLEANSER (full size $25)
A body wash-infused sponge and skin-smoother in one, this innovative, in-shower product helps smooth areas prone to cellulite and detoxify skin with help from natural ingredients.
One
of the most potent sources
of antioxidants, green coffee extract
stimulates skin to rev up
circulation and minimize
unwanted dimples from within. Rich in vitamins
and minerals, sea kelp repairs damage
in the skin by replenishing
protein and supporting
natural collagen production
for smoother, tighter skin. Your skin feels tighter, cleaner
and more toned after one
use. Plus, the straight-from-the-beach
fragrance doesn’t
hurt, either.
“Our Promise: Spongellé products
will always offer the most innovative
technologies, the finest ingredients
and the essential touches of luxury,”
says founder Elaine Binder.
CHRISTIE BRINKLEY DAILY FACIAL EXFOLIATING POLISH ($24)
This creamy scrub is kind to skin while clearing
pores, refining texture and
stimulating skin turnover
for a purified, smooth
complexion. Even delicate, easily
irritated skin benefits from
exfoliation. Unlike many
formulas, this skin polisher
is 100-percent vegan to
ensure sensitive skin is
never disrupted.
One of the
key players when it comes
to exfoliation, when used in
moderation, salicylic acid
effectively sloughs away
dead skin cells to reveal a
perfectly even complexion. Aloe, the ultimate
skin-soothing ingredient, works to calm redness
or exasperation in the skin
to keep irritation at bay and
clear skin.
Founder Christie
Brinkley says, “I’ve
been exfoliating every
day for over 40 years,
so it was important for
me to have an exfoliator
in my line that works
gentle enough to
use every day but
strong enough to
give visible results.”
GOLDWELL STYLESIGN BIG FINISH VOLUME SPRAY ($20)
This addictive offering
can be used as an overlay
hairspray to support your
finished look. It also adds
shine and flexibility thanks
to one of its main ingredients,
elastomer polymer.
It also counts UVA/UVB filters
and antioxidants as key
ingredients designed
to add shine and
flexibility to any style. Dryness,
frizz and breakage can
be prevented and fixed by
incorporating antioxidants
into your hair-care routine. Crucial
for protection against the
harmful rays from the sun,
look for UVA/UVB filters in
hair products to not only
safeguard your strands, but
to also keep the integrity of
your color.
“Goldwell StyleSign Big
Finish Spray allows the
beginning set and final
finish that will give you
style hold and memory
finish hold that will perfect
every styling look!” says
Goldwell artistic director
Rebecca Hiele.
TRUIST SKINCARE LOTION-INFUSED MOISTURIZING GLOVES (full size $13; three gloves)
Designed with soft cloth
and a barrier that keeps
lotion inside the glove,
this deeply hydrating
treat fits right into
your schedule for
a spa-like experience
at home. Because the lotion never
slips or seeps from within
the gloves, you can wear
them while using your
phone or tablet sans any
mess. Plus, they work their
magic in just 15 minutes.
Perfect for
skin in need of serious
care, avocado douses dry patches with
moisture. Vitamin E, popular for
its ability to defend
against aging and repair
damaged skin, works to heal every
speck of dryness.
John Polatz, CEO of Truist
Skincare, says, “With all
those cracked, dry hands
out there this winter, these
gloves help seal moisture
in against the skin to allow
it to be absorbed where
it’s needed most.”

OSMOSIS SKINCARE STEMFACTOR (full size $140)
While it seems like a
far-fetched claim to
stimulate cell turnover,
heal pigmentation and
reverse aging all in
one pump, this serum
does it all and more. From discoloration to
wrinkles, more than 150
different skin growth
factors from adult stem
cells are at the center of
this serum that builds new
collagen and elastin to
address all signs of aging.
Extremely useful
when it comes to treating
skin conditions like acne
and eczema, witch hazel has been used
as an organic astringent for
centuries due to its high
antioxidant content. Alphahydroxy acid lactic acid, found in many
anti-aging formulas, works to
eliminate fine lines, wrinkles
and effects of sun damage
when applied topically.
“StemFactor is the most
advanced growth factor
serum available with more
than 150 different growth
factors made from stem
cells and fibroblasts. It
contains ‘exosomes,’ which
improve the delivery of
skin’s most important growth
factors, thereby activating
the repair of sun damage
and aging in a highly
effective manner,” says CEO
and founder Ben Johnson, MD.
GRANDE BROW-FILL (full size $20)
If pencils or powders aren’t your cup of tea, you’re in luck. Foolproof and super long-lasting, this gel does the job of a brow filler and definer in one easy swipe.
Mini fibers and peptides adhere to even the thinnest brows to fill in sparse areas, build and define arches, plus it tames and conditions unruly hairs. Peptides help thicken brows and make them denser by delivering hefty doses of protein to the core of each strand.
CEO Alicia Grande says,
“Brows define the face
and help you look younger.
I’ve developed this product
to give you a natural-looking
brow without
the penciled-in look”
BEBELLA PROBIOTIC (full size set $310)
Infused with natural
probiotics, this system
provides a protective
shield—both internally and
externally—to ward off any
imbalances in the skin and
rejuvenate it from within. The set is thorough, including
a facial cleanser, eye cream,
hydrating night cream and
facial essence to totally
transform problematic skin
from the inside-out. Probiotics create an
all-around better complexion
by treating concerns at the source without any irritation.
Cofounder Linda Krebs says,
“BeBella Probiotic skincare
provides the probiotic boost
from outside in and inside
out allowing nature to do
the work, revealing radiant
healthy skin.”
MISS SPA DETOXIFYING SELF HEATING FACIAL CRÈME MASK (full size $3)
Free of parabens, artificial dyes, fragrances and sulfates, this mask infuses skin with zero harsh ingredients for a fresh, healthy and non-irritated result. Citric acid exfoliates the top layer of skin to reveal a brighter, smoother and younger-looking complexion by lessening the appearance of large pores and fine lines. It warms and purges skin of pore-clogging oil to keep sebum production and midday shine at a minimum.
CEO Kate Kimmerle says,
“Chock-full of minerals,
this self-heating mask
leaves skin looking and
feeling soft, smooth and
refreshed. It’s the ultimate
detox for congested skin!”
VBEAUTÉ LIP SPREAD (full size $19)
VBEAUTÉ RUB OFF (full size $24)
These potent products go
above and beyond their usual
call of duty by turning back the
clock on your skin and smile
with every use and swipe. The triple-acting smoothing
elixir cleanses, tones and
exfoliates skin in seconds
while the gloss features
cocoa butter and papaya to
reduce the appearance of
fine lines on your pout for a
visibly younger appearance. Its lovely
scent aside, Swiss Alpine rose strengthens the skin barrier,
while protecting against
environmental stress,
increasing the vitality
of your skin.
“I personally curated these
shades from the best fall
and spring designer fashion
collections. The exfoliator
purifies your skin and
minimizes pores while helping
to regulate oil,” says founder
and CEO, Julie Macklowe.
