Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops
For a sun-kissed glow year-round, updates writer Ellen McAlpine mixes these drops into her nighttime moisturizer. “The tan lasts 4–5 days, and the bottle lasts forever since you only need a few drops,” she notes.
Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum
Managing editor Rachel Quigley credits these gentle exfoliating pads for brighter, plumper skin. “They’re the only exfoliator that doesn’t irritate my sensitivity—it’s like I’ve been chugging water,” she says.
Makeup & Suncare Hybrids

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey
Editorial director Chelsea Stone calls this sheer berry balm a purse essential. “It’s moisturizing, buildable, and universally flattering—I reach for it more than lip balm,” she says.
Haircare Heroes

Shaw also relies on this versatile serum for silky strands. “It works on wet or dry hair, adds shine, and even doubles as an overnight mask,” she says.
