Best face washes recommended by Dermatologists

CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser

Both Gold and Dr. Hope Mitchell the founder of Ohio-based Mitchell Dermatology, recommend CeraVe’s Hydrating Cleanser. Gold tells us that “it contains ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid, which help to hydrate and keep moisture in the skin.” The face wash has a creamy texture that delivers moisture by way of glycerin and those ceramides — specifically, ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II, all of which help restore the skin’s barrier and in turn help increase its moisture levels. Mitchell adds that the cleanser is “gentle, noncomedogenic, and oil-free, so it won’t cause acne.”




La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser

Here’s another gentle, noncomedogenic cleanser that both Solomon and Dalal recommend — again for its hydration benefit. Like the CeraVe cleanser above, it has a creamy texture and contains ceramide 3. But, as Dalal notes, “the active ingredient here is glycerin,” which she describes as “a wonderful ingredient that helps hydrate your skin without the overproduction of oil.” Solomon agrees, adding that glycerin “is an effective moisture preserver that hydrates in a nonoily way.” As with the Cetaphil, “this face wash works for all skin types and is nonirritating,” according to Dalal, who also adds that it is formulated in “a town in France where the thermal water has been used to treat patients with many skin conditions, including eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis.”

Best Gel Cleansers for Flawless Skin

1 - Botanical Kinetics Purifying Gel Cleanser

Ree uses this cleanser daily, and you can't blame her: Chamomile, lavender, and vitamin E soothe your skin and leave your face feeling refreshed. It's also a great transitional choice if you're switching from a foaming cleanser: The formula foams slightly when you apply it!



2 - Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser

The "low pH" label might make you feel like you're in a chemistry class, but the meaning is actually quite simple: A low pH of 4 to 6 replicates your skin's natural pH levels, so you're less likely to experience complications like acne or dryness. This cleanser also contains ingredients like tea tree oil.




3 - Lytic Gel Cleanser

This powerful cleanser is specifically formulated for oily and acne-prone skin. Menthol and willow bark extract help calm inflammation, so it's also ideal if you suffer from conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It's a little pricey, but worth the splurge: Ree is a fan!

Best Body Washes for Men

3 - PLANT Apothecary Wake Up Botanical Aromatherapy Body Wash

Best Hair Conditioners

1 - Dark Envy Hydrating Conditioner for Dark Hair

"I tend to fall behind on my salon appointments more than I should, especially during the summer. As a beauty editor, I should really know better—especially since the summer is when brunettes and raven-haired beauties need the most maintenance. Ever notice that after a few beach days, your strands seem to spit out all that pretty deep color and suddenly you've got roots warmer than that the surface of the sun? Here's my quick fix. A formula that deposits green pigment, like this one, can help add cool tones back to the hair as it hydrates so you can stretch out that time between salons visits. Added bonus: I promise it won't stain your shower."






2 - Nanoworks Gold Conditioner

"I change my hair color a lot and I’m lucky it’s stayed healthy. However, I noticed that my roots were changing texture, and were a little drier as they grew to be deeper shades of grey. I tried a sample of this conditioner, and after three uses, I really noticed that my hair was more lush and silky, and it even punched up my curls. I eventually splurged for a full size bottle and bought the shampoo, too. Pure gold!"

Best Shampoos for hair

1 - Frizz-Defy Shampoo by LOREAL

"Growing up, I never paid attention to the shampoo I used. (Literally, I'd use anything as long as it smelled good.) That changed the first time I dyed my hair a couple years ago. I never realized how harsh and terrible brand-I-shall-not-name was until it stripped all the color out of my hair. That's when my hair colorist (and my mom!) recommended something sulfate-free, and I fell in love with this L'OrĂ©al Ever Pure shampoo.

It's super cheap, I can easily pick it up at the drugstore whenever I run out, and it comes in a variety of formulations depending on your hair type. (Same goes for the conditioner.) I got my hair colored again while using the shampoo and the dye actually lasted. A concept!"




2 - Colour Protect Shampoo by SACHAJUAN

"I've got a ton of fine hair, which means it can end up looking greasy fast. And if I'm actually sticking to my schedule and dropping into a boxing class or sliding into my sauna blanket, that means style-killing, 'even dry shampoo can't fix this' levels of sweat. Having color-treated hair means the more I wash, the more my faux-hue fades, so I need to stick to shampoos that preserve my shade. This Swedish brand is one of my favorites, and its Color Protect formula gets my scalp squeaky clean without stripping my color."





3 - Moisture Repair Shampoo by MOROCCANOIL

"I love Moroccanoil products. Their shampoo (and conditioner) are my shiny, silky-soft hair jam. I remember trying Moroccanoil for the first time and realizing that my naturally very fine, frizzy hair can actually look smooth and—despite my total lack of skills with a hairdryer—like I’d just left a haircut. I turned my mom on to the stuff as well, so now the smell is homey and familiar to me. Plus, whenever I get a whiff of that Moroccanoil shampoo smell, it’s a nice little reminder that I’m likely having a good hair day."

Best face oils of 2021

1 - RMS Beauty: Best overall face oil

It’s virtually impossible to fault RMS Beauty’s Beauty Oil. From the understated bottle to the nutrient-rich oil inside and the incredible effects your skin will feel as soon as you’ve blessed your face with it a few times. Blending all of the best oils for a lightweight yet concentrated finish, this miracle bottle is prepared to fight any and every battle on your behalf. 

A quick application of wildcrafted Brazilian Buriti Oil, firming rosehip and antioxidant-rich jojoba will do the face oil equivalent of brushing all of your worries under the carpet. There are some face oils that hydrate and some face oils that fight the signs of ageing. There are others that promise to balance your complexion. And then there’s this Beauty Oil, which seamlessly does all of the above and then some.



2 - Augustinus Bader: Best luxury face oil

Those days when your hair looks sleek and well maintained, your eyeliner matches perfectly and you’re wearing your favourite outfit? Augustinus Bader’s The Face Oil will bring on the feeling of all of the above happening simultaneously. Throw in a gloriously sunny day, a free coffee from your favourite spot and the last meeting of the day cancelled and you’ll feel a similar sort of glee. This premium face oil might have a higher cost than others but it’s well deserved. 

Combining TFC8 – a complex of amino acids and vitamins – as well as Babassu, Argan, Hazelnut and Karanja oils, it manages to sink deeply into the layers of your skin while feeling almost weightless immediately after application. A quick one-off application has the ability to brighten your day; longer term usage promises to also brighten your skin, reduce pigmentation and promote elasticity.


3 - Honest Beauty: Best value face oil

Face oil might seem like a luxury addition to your toiletry bag but some of the best options come without the scary price tags attached. Enter: Honest Beauty’s Organic Beauty Facial Oil. A mixture of premium quality pure seed and fruit oils including apricot, avocado, jojoba, lavender and lemon peel, this moisture-rich face oil replenishes skin almost immediately without being overbearing or sitting on top of the skin. 

It also comes with a gentle scent of botanicals, infused with a beautiful bouquet of rose, ylang-ylang and clove oils that’s reminiscent of your favourite afternoon at the spa. Better yet: Honest Beauty is also a vegan skincare brand, and this face oil is free of parabens, silicones, paraffins, dyes and synthetic fragrances, which makes it ideal for those with sensitive skin. Add this award-winning bottle into your standard makeup routine for an elevated upgrade without breaking the bank.


4 - Nuori: Best natural face oil

Proving once and for all that it’s possible to inject a burst of moisture into your skin without resorting to unnatural ingredients, the Perfecting Facial Oil by Nuori isn’t an exaggerated name for this product. 

This is a bottle that does it all no matter what sort of skin you might have: its unique formulation means it effortlessly blends in with your skin’s natural lipid balance, whether you have oily or dry skin. Once it’s figured out your skin’s natural level of oil, it works to nourish, hydrate and balance from the inside out. Get into a routine of using this facial oil and expect to start each day feeling a little brighter and fresher, thanks to this oil’s vitamin E and beautiful rosehip scent.

Best Facial Cleansers

 1 - Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser

Glossier's Milky Jelly Cleanser washes the day away as good as any all-star cleanser, but there’s something about the bouncy jelly consistency, just-sweet-enough rosewater scent, and clean — yet supremely hydrated — result that will make you actually look forward to washing your face.



2 - Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel

2020 Allure Best of Beauty winner, Neutrogena's Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel is a drugstore favorite that locks in hydration, thanks to hyaluronic acid and glycerin. As the formula transforms into a silky lather it gently dissolves the day's accumulated makeup, dirt, and bacteria.



3 - Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser

The obsession with Drunk Elephant's Beste No. 9 Cleanser is real — and for all the right reasons. Like all products from the brand, commonplace irritants like silicones and fragrance are replaced with skin-perfecting goodness like makeup-melting emollients and mega-hydrators, aloe vera and glycerin, which do all the dirty work — or rather, clean work. Skin is left fresh and coddled with a post-wash glow thanks to marula oil and cantaloupe extract.

Best Hair Gels for a Flexible Hold

 1 - Best Hair Gels for a Flexible Hold

2 - Garnier Fructis Style Pure Clean Styling Gel

Thanks to Garnier, you can get the good stuff without shelling out a bunch of cash. Containing an impressive 98% naturally derived ingredients, the brand's Pure Clean Styling Gel offers a strong yet weightless finish without any flakes.


3 - Aussie Instant Freeze 20-Hour Hold Hair Gel

Best Facial Steamers

1 - IONIC FACIAL STEAMER by Aira

Nicole Simpson, the founder of Amethyst Skincare, says that this steamer is great because you don't have to bend your neck too far to feel its power. "The steamer ionizes the water molecules, which helps hydrate the skin a bit faster," she says. "Ionized water typically delivers the best results without the need for a timely process. I caution against over-steaming as it can dehydrate the skin, and that’s what you want to avoid."



2 - PRO FACIAL STEAMER by Dr Dennis Gross

The beauty of this facial steamer is its simplicity. "It’s a simple, one-piece design that is lightweight and compact," NYC-based dermatologist Dr. Marnie Nussbaum says. "The micro-steam technology hydrates and purifies my skin effectively in just 9 minutes."



3 - FACIAL SAUNA SYSTEM WITH FACIAL CLEANSING BRUSH by Conair

Dr. Marina Peredo suggests investing in Conair's steamer because it "comes with a gentle brush that you can use to exfoliate your skin before steaming for best results." But she warns that at-home users should be careful when extracting. "When extractions are done improperly, they can cause scarring and more harm than the blackhead itself. The skin is fragile, so extractions are best left to a professional," she explains.



4 - NANO IONIC ONE-TOUCH OPERATION FACIAL STEAMER by Panasonic

Panasonic's popular steamer is usually sold out and for good reason. Los Angeles-based esthetician Tracy Hudson is a fan of the steamer for its long-lasting power and wallet-friendly price point.
