Helping Hand Even after lots of handwashing, I feel soothed by this quick-to-absorb lotion from Rare Beauty. For a fun mini massage, rub the container’s rounded edges into your palms. Psst: Founder Selena Gomez said she wanted the scent to remind people of a warm hug. A New Ball Game Meet my go-to weapon against puffiness and redness: this Dr!driss serum with anti-inflammatory arnica! I roll it onto clean skin after a workout or night out for fast results. Cheeky Fun Take the confusion out of contouring with DIBS Beauty's GlowTour Duo. Swipe the blush highlighter onto your cheekbones, apply the darker hue just below, blend, and done! I also love swiping it along my forehead, under my bottom lip, and under my jawline to add definition. Cloud-Like Conditioner This fluffy foam from Biolage has the softening, strengthening effects I want from conditioner without leaving my fine hair as at as a pancake. Was this page helpful?
