1.A TikTok-viral Tree Hut sugar and shea scrub, because I have never tried a body scrub this good at such a low price. It leaves the skin feeling soft (not stripped) and smells gorgeous!

2.A Supergoop! sunscreen since, yes, sunscreen is a critical part of anyone's beauty routine — but not everyone wears it as often as they should. If the reason you forego daily SPF application is a gnarly whitecast, then you'll be glad to know that this formula leaves nothing behind other than a luminous glow.

3.A clarifying serum with willow bark extract and a zinc blend that you should add to your cart IMMEDIATELY if you find yourself battling those breakouts that just won't budge. Willow bark is a fantastic exfoliant that'll clear out the pores, while zinc has anti-inflammatory properties that'll diminish redness around breakouts.

4.An ice roller that I use multiple times a day to decrease puffiness, tighten my jowls, and even calm down inflammation around my occasional breakouts. Pro tip: this tool is also a godsend for when you need some cooling relief during tension headaches!

5.A set of star-shaped pimple patches, because pimples are a part of everyone's life, so why not make dealing with them at least a little fun? These patches aren't just cute, they are hydrocolloid patches, which means they'll help to draw out all the gunk from a breakout, while significantly lessening any redness in the skin.

6.A gentle retinol serum perfect if you're a retinol novice who's still looking to minimize fine lines, even out your skin tone, and diminish breakouts. This formula has encapsulated retinol, meaning the retinol molecules are wrapped in a carrier system to minimize the dryness and irritation associated with most retinol products.

7.A hydrating face cream that has pretty much everything you need to get a glow that could make aestheticians jealous. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid and a peptide complex, this moisturizer gets down to the deeper layers of your skin to hydrate and help build new skin cells for a plumping effect.

8.A daily moisturizer pretty much made for people with sensitive skin. If you're after deep moisture that soaks into the skin paired with SPF protection, this is your new 2-in-1 daily go-to.

9.A refreshing watermelon toner that'll have you singing your favorite Harry Styles song every morning. This toner rebalances the pH in your skin that might've been altered during cleansing. Plus, it makes sure there is enough hydration on your skin to lock in your favorite moisturizer.

10.A CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser proving there's no need to USE a foaming cleanser to get a deep clean! This cleanser is ideal for whisking away any traces of makeup, sunscreen, or pollution from your skin, without stripping your moisture barrier.

11.And a bottle of micellar water with rose, since there really are few things in this world as luxurious as spreading rose water all over your skin. This micellar water works hard to melt away the daily grime (makeup, sunscreen, pollution — the list goes on and on), yet is gentle on your skin with a soothing rose and hydrating glycerin added inside.

12.A pure vitamin C concentrate serum because your skin needs help fighting against free radicals. Vitamin C is one of the industry's favorite antioxidants to ward off free radicals in your skin and it also helps to brighten the complexion while lightening any dark spots for an all-around even texture.

13.A moisturizing oil with rosehip that's ideal if you're looking to fade scars, add moisture to dry skin, and up the ante on your glow. This formula is made with 93% argan oil, which conditions the skin and helps to fade old scars, and rosehip oil which adds moisture to the skin while calming redness. Smooth, even skin that smells like roses? Yes, please. ??

14.A lip exfoliator that does more than just slough off dead skin cells before your lipstick application. Using a lip exfoliator like this one can amp up circulation in the lips, giving them a fuller, plumper appearance. And with moisturizing ingredients like vitamin E, shea butter, avocado, grape, and jojoba oils, your lips will remain smooth and conditioned long after application. Oh, and it tastes like brown sugar! What's sweeter than that?

15.A best-selling charcoal face wash, because sometimes your face might go straight back to feeling slick mere hours after washing. This cleanser wicks away excess grime while the charcoal inside absorbs oil.

16.An oil-free sunscreen that you need to wear every single day, even if you're spending most of your hours working from home! UV rays travel through your windows when indoors, meaning that you're still experiencing sun damage while working from your desk. If you don't like the feel of most sunscreens, a non-greasy formula like this one is an easy addition to your skincare routine.

Just remember: a higher SPF doesn't mean prolonged protection. Make sure to reapply every two hours, especially if you're going to be out in the sun this season!  Promising review:

17.A self-tanner, because although it can be tempting to lay out in the sun alllll summer long, excessive UV exposure can be really dangerous! If you still want the look of a sun-kissed glow, this is one of the best self-tanners to deliver.

18.A cleansing balm so that you can melt all your makeup away, including waterproof mascara and intense lip stains! Since this balm has an oily texture, we recommend using it as the first part of your double cleansing routine.

19.A foam facial cleanser that's perfect if you're looking for a no-frills cleanser. This one is gentle enough for sensitive skin types and has a lightweight foaming texture that isn't stripping.

20.A Bio-Oil dry skin gel because, while I am an oil lover myself, I get that body oil isn't for everyone! If you prefer the feel of a cream, this gel has all the benefits of traditional Bio-Oil (i.e. intense moisture and a lessening in hyperpigmentation).

21.A bottle of Korean ginseng toner that will help to balance your skin's pH after cleansing while protecting it with antioxidants! Plus, this toner is pretty hydrating — so you'll want to stock up on it for the cooler weather that's ahead.

22.A slab of "the world's best" pumice stone so you can kiss every last callous on your feet goodbye — without having to stop into the salon!

23.A face mist that has more uses inside its small 30-milliliter bottle than I thought possible. This spray contains rose water and hyaluronic acid that works amazingly as a toner, primer, and even setting spray!

24.A pump skin cream, because TikTokers are all raving about this classic cream that moisturizes without leaving a heavy, greasy film! You can freely use this cream on both your face and body since it's free of dyes, fragrances, parabens, and more!

27.A vitamin E-infused coconut oil that's perfect if you are a beauty minimalist who wants something that'll not just moisturize your skin, but your hair and nails, too!

28.A cherry and chia milk-scented Dove body wash that I got months ago and still have plenty of in my shower (after using it a bunch — I'm wondering if it'll last forever). Dove is widely known for being great on sensitive skin, and this scent is fruity yet elevated!

29.A CoverGirl priming glow mist if you're after one thing and one thing only: glazed skin. You can use this to set your dewy skincare routine, and then spritz it whenever you need a midday pick-me-up!
