This concealer glides on so smoothly, which makes covering pesky under-eye circles easily do-able. RMS Beauty “Un” Cover-Up, $36, rmsbeauty.com.

The ingredients are derived from a veritable grocery list (potato, coconut, radish, lime, olive), so I call it my salad soap. I use it every night, which is good because—due to said grocery list—it will expire by the end of next year. Linné Eco Purify Face Wash, $58, linnebotanicals.com.

On a recent ski trip, my husband whipped this out on every chairlift ride to protect his cheeks and nose against the harshly reflective snow and sun.

Promise Organic Sunscreen Stick, $10, promiseorganic.com.

During same aforementioned ski trip, I became addicted to this super smooth yet sturdy lip balm, which I reapplied after every run.

Ilia Beauty Balmy Days, $26, iliabeauty.com.

This adorable little tube of black lengthens and coats lashes in a sleek, natural way. By the way, I’m also addicted to the brand’s foundation and blush, but I had to pick one. Kjaer Weis Mascara, $38, kjaerweis.com.

I was a bit taken aback by this oil’s blue color (that would be the blue tansy oil), but I got over it quickly. While retinoids help ease wrinkles, it’s the calming tansy and chamomile that I appreciate. Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil, $105, sephora.com.

On early mornings, I’ll spray this on my face before moisturizing. Mostly because it smells so damned good.

Nannie Inez Wake Up Mist, $24, nannieinez.com.

Most face scrubs are too much for my sensitive skin. With lactic acid, potato flour and a potpourri of essential oils, both my skin and my nose devour this weekly treat. Marie Veronique Profoliation Mask, $50, marieveronique.com.

This little tin box has long been my go-to for moments when I need something cozy. Whenever I inhale it, I am immediately transported to a morning hike in the woods. Aftelier Solid Perfume in Fir, $240, aftelier.com.
