René Rouleau
elderberry soothing toner
“My skin tends to be dehydrated all the time, which means it lacks water rather than oil, so I need to supplement my skincare with moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe. I love a good sheet mask, but because of this I don’t always have it on hand.In that case, I grab a toner pad (like the ones you can buy on Amazon) and soak it in my favorite moisturizing toner. , I love Rene Rouleau Elderberry. I combine a soothing toner and Dassai oil into a moisturizing lotion. I then apply it to my face to make a DIY sheet mask. This is a trick I learned from a Korean skin care expert. It’s a great way to hydrate your skin, and it won’t break the bank. -It’s gentler than using sheet masks all the time.” Caitlin McClintock, Deputy Beauty Editor

Baby Soft: Ceramide Hair Conditioner
“I have extremely dry, coarse, curly hair that is difficult to manage without the right products. One piece of advice I received from my stylist a few months ago was to condition my hair only a few times a week. The idea was to wash it.I won’t lie, at first I thought she was misleading me and that my hair would be greasy or not clean.But that’s not the case. No. I wash my hair with a light conditioner. I wash it several times a week (or wash it together) and it really helps prevent frizz and keep it moisturized. If you have a similar hair type, I highly recommend you give it a try.” — Shauna Hudson, Deputy Beauty Editor

Wash your hair on nights off when your hair still feels uncomfortable, rinse it off in the shower without shampoo, and apply a nourishing hair mask as a conditioner. — Hughes
