Kopari Coconut Melt

Credit: Ulta

Apply to dry hair (from root to tip) and let strands sit in a bun overnight. You’ll need to give your hair two shampoos in order to remove fully, but the final, shiny result will be worth the effort. Use it as a makeup remover or drop a scoop into a warm bath for hydration with minimal effort.

Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Moisturizer with Ceramides

The gentle, deeply moisturizing formula is made with a blend of six African oils, ceramides that help guard against moisture loss, and sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, which douses skin in hydration. Like all Drunk Elephant products, Lala Retro Whipped Moisturizer is made without what they’ve dubbed the “suspicious 6”: essential oils, chemical sunscreens, SLS, fragrances/dyes, drying alcohols, and silicones.

Beautycounter’s Retinatural Complex calls on Bakuchiol (a more gentle retinol alternative) and Swiss Alpine Rose, to minimize fine lines and give the skin’s antioxidant armor a boost.
