Green tea, hyaluronic acid, and squalane deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin's barrier. Plus, green tea protects against free radicals.

My teen turned me on to this overnight lip mask. The brand’s Berry Fruit Complex, Murumuru Seed, and Shea butter go to work while you sleep, so you wake up with smoother, softer lips.

belif Aqua Bomb Hydrating Body Moisturizer with Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid, $30
I used this lotion to the last drop. Niacinamide brightens skin, while hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates without leaving it greasy.

Incellderm Daily Aqua BB, $30
This “blemish balm” or BB cream (a K-beauty staple) is lightweight and gives skin a smooth, even-toned finish, covering breakouts and redness effortlessly. It’s the perfect base for a natural, no-makeup makeup look.
