Add To Cart: What Our Editors Are Buying For August

“This was hands down one of the best facials I’ve ever had! I felt like such a princess. My lovely facialist, Viktoria, asked me what skin concerns I had before getting started, checked in with me throughout the facial and helped me pick out some incredible goodies on my way out. It was the best way to treat myself on a Friday afternoon before starting the weekend. You’ll find this gorgeous OSEA spot at the end of Abbot Kinney, with a relaxing outdoor waiting area and a large sink to wash your hands and lather them in OSEA's one-of-a-kind products. Highly recommend!” –Naomi Joshi

“While coined a cult-favorite, I am new to this multi-tasker that saved me — and my teen boys — this summer. We slathered the concentrate of botanical oils (rose hip, jojoba, marula) + the brand’s proprietary hydrating complex on our lips, hands, heels and more. Aptly named a Rescue Balm, it was at my fingertips nightly for cuticles and cheeks as we traveled through the desert. Perfect for summer, but watch out winter skin, I have a new salve.” –Christine Morrison

“Pendulum’s GLP-1 Probiotic has honestly reduced my cravings so much more than I expected it to! Not only is it easy to incorporate into my daily routine, but it’s also backed by science and formulated by experts to support metabolic health naturally. A win on all fronts!” –Juliette King

“I've been obsessed with HigherDOSE for years. From their revolutionary Sauna Blanket (they were the OGs) to their heat-activated Healing Oil, I've been taking my biohacktress routine to the next level with results that speak for themselves. Recently, I got to try their new Red Light Hat, which is bringing the proven power of red light into a super easy-to-use, 10-minute format. ‘But does it work?’ everyone asks me. Yes, yes it does. My hair is thicker, I'm having less fall-out, and it's one thing I'm able to commit to every day without friction (unlike normal red light therapy, which can feel like you need time in the cal just to do it consistently). I'm super excited to keep going with my new ‘wellness cap’—especially given the plethora of benefits red light offers like improved collagen synthesis, ATP activation, recovery, and increased melanin production (which directly affects the hair).” –Annie Goodman

“I take genuine pleasure in reapplying my sunscreen; the trick to vigilant sun protection is finding an SPF you love. For all of July, I fell in love with Le Prunier’s cult-favorite Plumscreen, a Broad Spectrum SPF 31 (not 30, because she’s not like the other girls) made with an antioxidant-rich Plum Superfruit Complex to shelter skin and collagen from pollution and environmental stressors. It’s also Zinc-based, but doesn’t leave an ounce of white film – just a radiant glow and a natural plum scent (no artificial fragrances or essential oils needed).” –Zoë Brown

“I picked up a box of Laundry Sauce when I moved into my new apartment in early July. Man! The Indian Tuberose scent is incredible. I have a bunch of old gym shirts that, frankly, smell awful from all the sweat. I did a few loads with two LS pods and it did the trick. While it may only be a band-aid, my shirts actually smell good when I wear them to workout in now.” –Joe Niehaus

“Everyone always says how important a good LBD is for your wardrobe, but I think that a LBM (little black midi) is equally important, if not more! I've been loving my Stasera asymmetrical midi from Australian fashion brand Amelie Teje. With a unique, elegant, yet sexy design, it is able to be worn at the calf or at the knees (thanks to the ruching). In my humble opinion, it runs pretty small, so size up at least one size. You'll be happy you did -- and happy to consider this a new staple in your wardrobe.” –Dana Abraham

“Recently wore these to an outdoor concert and it was a game changer--no post-event ear-ringing or migraines! They look like a piece of jewelry, and have a magnetic neck strap as well so you don't risk losing them. Will be taking them with me to any future music events!” –Kaleigh Moore

“I've been a fan of Makana for years! One of my home staples is the Tea Leaf Reed Diffuser (the Rosewater candle comes a close second). The diffuser lasts at least a year and gives any space the most beautiful, luxurious fragrance without overpowering the room. Tea Leaf is my favorite because it blends notes of white tea, basil, lemon verbena, and sage to create an earthy fragrance. If you're looking to switch to something flameless or want a vegan, small-batch scent then you need to shop Makana.” –Laura Leiva

“Like most people, I dread doing laundry. But this laundry detergent from L'AVANT makes the experience feel a bit more luxurious. The packaging is clean and minimal and is designed to be displayed and add a calming feel to any laundry room. The fresh linen scent smells unique while still being light and refreshing. The brand offers refillable detergent packs so I can keep reusing the white bottle while reducing waste.” –Maria Azua

“These days, more and more studies show the benefits of eating both mushrooms and chocolate, and these bite-sized treats from Lore combine the two antioxidant-powerhouse ingredients into one bite that's perfect as an afternoon pick-me-up. Each two-piece serving of Lore mushroom chocolate contains 2,000 milligrams of reishi and lion's mane mushrooms and tastes like a dark chocolate caramel-filled truffle. That's dessert with benefits.” –Lizzy Briskin

“I absolutely identify as a Chai-lover and this set is almost too pretty to use for my late afternoon fix. The three teas (Masala Chai, Rose Cardamom Chai, Vanilla Lavender Chai) come beautifully wrapped but the pièce de résistance is the brass strainer (which arrives packaged separately). Founder Poorvi is a certified ITMA tea sommelier and every tea is sourced in India from small, sustainable farmers.” –Sanibel Lazar
