Ulta Beauty deals we think are worth it
This made our list of best flat irons because experts like that it has a small curve on the ends of the iron to help create beachy waves. The ceramic plates also have a gloss coating to smooth hair as you straighten.
In our guide on the best hyaluronic acid serums, experts recommended this essence because it is made from a highly concentrated natural hyaluronic acid and is hydrating enough to work in both summer and winter. It’s intended to be used after cleansing but before you put on your moisturizer.
You can use this tool as a hair dryer or add one of the five attachments to try different styles. The attachments include two interchangeable auto-wrap curlers, an oval brush and a paddle brush and a styling concentrator. Bonus: The Shark FlexStyle helps keep hair healthy by consistently measuring the heat output to avoid heat damage, according to the brand.
One of our favorite at-home microcurrent devices, our tester found the Solawave easy to use. It uses a galvanic current, which helps your serums and moisturizers better absorb into skin, according to the brand. Along with the current, it has red LED light therapy, facial massage and a warming sensation, which can help reduce puffiness, according to Solawave.
This body lotion contains shea butter and squalane to hydrate and colloidal oatmeal to soothe any irritation or help with eczema, according to the brand. It’s available in a fragrance-free version ideal for sensitive skin or with a fresh cucumber scent.
Experts have previously told us that you should use sunscreen with at least a SPF 30 for your face. This one is SPF 50 and protects against UVA and UVB rays, according to the brand. It feels more like a serum going on and is clear, so you don’t get that white cast that many sunscreens leave behind. It also contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate while it protects.
This cream was recommended by dermatologists in our guide to retinol. Along with retinol, it contains hyaluronic acid to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and give the skin a smoother appearance without irritating the skin, according to the brand.
This leave-in treatment is similar to another Olaplex hair mask we’ve previously tried and loved. According to the brand, this one is intended for dry, damaged and works by rebuilding bonds within the hair shaft to make it stronger. The active ingredients include avocado oil, hyaluronic acid and squalane, which are super hydrating. To use, you apply it after shampooing, leave it on for ten minutes, and then rinse it out.
