Glow Recipe Banana Soufflé Moisture Cream ($50) blends nutrient-dense banana, turmeric and chia seeds in a luxuriously light formula that almost feels like DIY skincare – but without having to turn your kitchen into an experimental laboratory.

Benefit Cosmetics Hello Happy Air Stick Foundation ($44) has a silky texture and subtle lavender scent. It’s also hard not to be uplifted by its adorable packaging.

Those who appreciate a multi-tasker will be into Kosas Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer ($37). Available in 16 shades, it contains caffeine, arnica, peptides and hyaluronic acid and functions as a concealer, spot treatment and eye cream.

Antioxidant-rich Scandinavian cloudberry and Mexican prickly-pear extract are two of the key adaptogens – substances known to defend against environmental aggressors and stress – found in StriVectin Cloudberry Moisture Plumping Cream Mask ($49). Both are known to thrive in parched environments, which should tell you something about this mask’s effect on thirsty skin.

One of the brand’s more than 1,000 soon-to-be newly formulated products, Quo Beauty Cosmic Cream Shadow in Light Waves ($16) delivers a generous dose of pearlescent blue across lids with just one swipe.
