Why you’ll love it: There’s no dipping your fingers into a pot of cream here. Tula’s brightening, hydrating undereye treatment comes in a stick that’s easy to swipe under your eyes—and gratifying too. The balm feels cool and refreshing going on and the chill actually lasts well after application—a neat trick that energizes tired eyes and helps wake you up as you drink your morning coffee. (Skin care that delivers this kind of sensorial experience is about to become a bigger trend.) Keep it next to your computer and you might even find yourself reapplying throughout hot summer days—a quick pick-me-up for your eyes and your mood.

How you’ll use it: Swipe the balm across your undereyes and over your brow bones and crow’s-feet to treat the whole area to the cooling hyaluronic acid-infused formula.

Why you’ll love it: If dark and stormies remind you of summer nights, this perfume oil with its notes of rum, sweet plum, and bright bergamot will be a nostalgic hit. It’s inspired by that classic sailors’ favorite—bay rum—with a sweetly crisp finish that makes the overall effect sparkling, not boozy.

How you’ll use it: Run the perfume oil over your pulse points (wrists, neck, even the back of your knees) for a breezy summer fragrance.

Why you’ll love it: The PHA in the name stands for polyhydroxy acids, which are exfoliants that tend to be gentler than other chemical exfoliants, like AHAs and BHAs. But they still do a great job of removing dead cells so your skin can feel smoother, look more radiant, and the rest of your skin care can penetrate better.

How you’ll use it: Once a week after cleansing, massage in a small amount of this exfoliator and then thoroughly rinse it away.

Why you’ll love it: With hydrating superstars squalane, glycerin, and shea butter, this carrot root water-infused mask helps make skin softer and more luminous while you sleep. “I woke up to brighter skin—and zero stains on my pillowcase,” says Allure’s Mazzone. It’s the perfect way to end your day and undo the drying effects of time spent in the sun or air conditioning.

How you’ll use it: Use this before bed in place of your usual nighttime moisturizer whenever you want extra hydration.
