Purifying & Hydrating Face Wash by Mirai Clinical, $25/5 fl. oz., miraiclinical.com
Filled with skin-loving ingredients and free of preservatives, sulfates, and synthetic dyes, this mild face wash softens and hydrates skin without stripping away its natural oils. Grapefruit and coconut oil refresh and moisturize skin, while astaxanthin, which comes from micro-algae, protects against harmful free-radicals. To use, massage a small amount onto wet skin and rinse well. Gentle enough to include in both your daytime and nighttime skincare routine.
“A little goes a long way with this cleanser. My face felt so soft after cleansing. This product helps to achieve the dewy feel with no oiliness. Absolutely love how my face feels after!” —Beauty Buzz Member Lara Mish, 46, Annapolis

Post Shave Elixir by Herbivore, $22/4 fl. oz., herbivorebotanicals.com
Relieve your post-shave skin with this hydrating elixir, formulated with natural, soothing ingredients. Witch hazel tightens skin and reduces redness, while aloe vera moisturizes and calms. This vegan and cruelty-free treatment can be used on your face, legs, or wherever you need a post-shave pick-me-up.
“This spray provides a breath of fresh air. It hydrates and cools down your skin. While only lasting seconds, it’s a mini-vacation for your face. It’s perfect for when you are fresh-shaven and don’t necessarily need a fragrance; although you can add it to your post-shave routine.” —What’s Up? Media Web Specialist Brian Saucedo, 23, Easton

Runway Lash Amplifying Mascara by ECRU New York., $22, ecrunewyork.com
Achieve dramatic lashes with this lengthening and volumizing mascara, formulated with conditioning argan oil. The unique, flat-curved brush curls and lifts, creating full lashes that are clump- and flake-free.
“I have my mascara that I love, but this one definitely gives it a run for its money. One word for this mascara: DRAMATIC. It actually made me look like I put on false lashes—volume and length were amazing without looking clumpy like many mascaras do. One coat of this and I felt the confidence to go out without any other makeup!” —Beauty Buzz Member Denise Hadden, 37, Severna Park
