Curating the beauty routines of my friends is my favorite hobby—here are 18 essentials I consistently include.

      It should come as no surprise that recommending beauty products ranks among my favorite aspects of my job. Having spent years purchasing products only to feel let down (such a bummer!), I understand how crucial it is to rely on trustworthy recommendations. Thus, I have made it my goal to share the finest options available in the industry, both here at Who What Wear and in my personal life. Recently, while compiling a list of products for some friends, I saw that every item was available on Bluemercury's website. In my opinion, having to shop at multiple retailers to complete a list is frustrating, so this was significant. Additionally, Bluemercury offers an impressive loyalty program that many people aren't aware of! It’s free, simple to sign up for, and provides immediate access to exclusive member benefits like free standard shipping and $10 for every $250 spent. Other perks include exclusive offers and event invitations, as well as a (full-size!) birthday gift.

      **Skincare**

      I can't speak highly enough about these one-step peel pads from Bluemercury's own brand, M-61. I've been using them for years, and no other at-home peel system has worked as effectively for my acne-prone, sensitive skin. I apply them three times a week after cleansing and let the glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin K, chamomile, bilberry, and lavender do their magic! A must-have for achieving clear, bright, and super-smooth skin.

      **IS Clinical Cleansing Complex**

      This is one of the most renowned and favored cleansers among aestheticians ever, and once you try it, you'll see why. Its gentle formulation allows for daily use, yet it effectively cleanses pores deeply thanks to its blend of bio-nutrients, antioxidants, and mild resurfacing components. It smooths, softens, and is particularly beneficial for those with breakout-prone skin.

      Numerous products claim to deliver Botox or injection-like results, but while nothing beats the effects of in-office injectables, this relatively new best-selling serum from SkinCeuticals comes quite close. Trust me, add P-Tiox to your routine, and you’ll notice firmer, brighter, and dewier skin.

      **Fragrance**

      **U Beauty Proem Eau de Parfum**

      U Beauty entered the fragrance market this year, and Proem has been a tremendous success. The brand describes it as “your entire scent wardrobe in one bottle,” as it can't be confined to a single category—it's floral, fruity, earthy, and gourmand, with a unique scent on everyone. It's beautiful and my top recommendation for anyone seeking a new signature fragrance.

      **Lake & Skye 11 11 Eau de Parfum**

      People go crazy for this popular perfume from Lake & Skye. The combination of white musk and amber is refined and fits beautifully for any season.

      **Parfums de Marly Cassili Eau de Parfum**

      Though Cassili doesn’t receive as much attention as some other well-known Parfums de Marly fragrances, it happens to be my favorite, especially during the summer months. It perfectly balances fruity and floral notes, featuring hints of red currant, Bulgarian rose, plum accord, bergamot, and more.

      I rely on a three-barrel waver year-round, but it’s particularly useful during the summer. It requires no skill, and you can achieve pretty, mermaid-like waves in under ten minutes. I’m not skilled at hairstyling, so this is incredibly convenient for me!

      **Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer**

      The price tag is significant, but Dyson’s hair dryer is genuinely worth the investment. If your budget allows, it’s a purchase you won’t regret.

      **HigherDose Red Light Face Mask**

      The Who What Wear team absolutely loves this red light therapy mask from HigherDose. It smartly combines both red and near-infrared LED technologies to enhance your glow and overall skin health.

      **Hair**

      **Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector**

      This is one of those essential products I’ll never abandon. As someone who constantly puts my hair through a lot, this is one of the few solutions that has positively impacted the strength, health, and resilience of my hair. I certainly notice when I haven’t used it in a while.

      **Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray**

      I take Oribe's cult-favorite texturizing spray with me wherever I go. I have travel-sized versions in my bags and carry-on, and the full-size can holds a permanent spot on my vanity. I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve tried countless alternatives and always return to this one. (Plus, it smells divine.)

      This hair product has also enjoyed a long-standing place in my routine. Many brands have introduced pom
