The Best Skin Care and Hair Products of 2024, Per a Beauty Editor

This year, I tested 768 beauty products. (Yes, really.) I keep a detailed spreadsheet to track everything, which includes all the beauty categories you can think of: hair care, body care, skin care, makeup, tools, etc. Despite the high number, picking my favorites is actually easy, considering they're what I've been reaching for every day.

When it comes to devices, NuFace’s Fix Line Smoothing Microcurrent Device—a more precise version of Kate Hudson’s go-to—has been so easy to use. I use it to plump my lips, lessen the appearance of my dark circles and eye bags, and smooth out my newfound smile lines.

In the hair department, Color Wow’s Money Hair Masque certainly wowed me. It only needs two minutes to detangle my strands, restore moisture, and eradicate frizz. When my hair dries it has a movie-star-like shine to it, too.

Lastly, the Skinceuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier Serum has been a huge help as I turn 30. I’ve been using to stave off and reduce the subtle signs of deflating skin, fine lines, and dryness; I’ve tried half a dozen products with similar claims, but this one actually delivers.
