Using the same self-tanning lotion or mousse on your face that you use for your body, doesn’t always yield the best results. For starters, it can clog your pores and lead to breakouts. But since a faux glow on your face fades faster than the rest of your body, it can also be tricky to get the measurement just right. This St. Tropez mist solves all of the main self-tanner problems by giving you a noncomedogenic formula you can spritz right on. It applies without any guide color, and it even contains moisturizing favorites like hyaluronic acid and panthenol.

This bar soap uses kojic acid as its main brightening ingredient, which is popular for its ability to fade hyperpigmentation without causing irritation.

A bar soap lasts longer than your typical bottled cleanser or body wash.

This set of fake lashes is made up of 110 smaller lash clusters that come in a mix of sizes to allow you to create a completely custom look. The wispy clusters not only offer more natural volume, but they’re also lightweight for a more comfortable wear. And even though they’re smaller than strip lashes, the clusters are still secured to a thin lash band that makes them just as easy to apply and remove.

• Available options: 19

To secure those clusters in place, this lash adhesive uses the tiniest of brushes to give you more precision as you trace over the lash band. It also blends in more seamlessly with your own lash line, as the adhesive is a rich black color that’s more reminiscent of liquid eyeliner than it is the visible white color of most lash glues.

If you can’t stand body moisturizers that leave behind a greasy film, this body oil is for you. Silky in texture but fast-absorbing, the vegan and cruelty-free body oil is packed with smoothing and hydrating ingredients like squalane, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and rosehip oil. The body oil will keep your skin moisturized for hours, and even though it’s free from synthetic fragrance, it still has a light vanilla scent.

For acne-prone skin types, this daily serum helps in two ways: first, it uses salicylic acid, retinol, and tea tree oil to combat breakouts by speeding up skin cell turnover and clearing pores of acne-causing debris and bacteria.

To minimize any irritation from the salicylic acid and retinol, the serum also includes soothing and moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera, squalane, rosehip seed oil, and centella asiatica extract.

This long-wearing mascara uses polymers to coat your lashes in lengthening and volumizing “tubes” for an extension-like effect.

Even so, the vegan and cruelty-free mascara comes right off with a few swipes of micellar water or makeup remover.

For oily and acne-prone skin, clay masks can be an effective way to absorb excess oil and draw out impurities that can otherwise cause breakouts. But sometimes, they work a little too well by drying out your skin in the process.

This rich body cream uses ingredients like macadamia seed oil and tucuma butter to leave skin velvety smooth, but that’s far from the only reason you’ll love it.

It’s also infused with a touch of golden shimmer to warm up your skin with a subtle glow.
