8 Best Face Masks For Glowing, Hydrated Skin

For Dryness

Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Hyaluronic acid is a beast at drawing more moisture to the surface of your skin for a super-hydrated look. If you feel like your current moisturizer isn't doing enough (especially as fall and winter near), apply a dollop of this $6 serum underneath to boost your radiance and banish any and all dryness!

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5

The Ordinary also makes a stunning hyaluronic acid serum for just $10! They produce this product with additional vitamin B5 in it, which enhances the formula's ability to promote skin "suppleness and elasticity, while minimizing the appearance of fine dry lines."

Byoma Hydrating Serum

With three ceramides, squalene, and glycerin, this $16 serum claims to deliver a "surge of hydration" to the skin. Ceramides help protect the skin barrier, while the rest of the formula ensure your skin's hydration is totally replenished. Furthermore, it's oil-free, non-comedogenic, and alcohol- and fragrance-free, so it won't clog up or irritate your face with unnecessary (and often ineffective) ingredients.

For Hyperpigmentation

Naturium Vitamin C Complex Serum

Vitamin C serums are great for tackling hyperpigmentation because not only does vitamin C help defend the skin from environmental stressors, it also acts as an antioxidant to keep skin looking radiant and protects from sun damage (though only slightly – make sure to pair it with a strong SPF for effective UV protection). This $12 product from Naturium is a great place to start if you're tired of pesky dark spots!

Cocokind Vitamin C Glow Serum

Cocokind's gentle $22 vitamin C serum is boosted with sea grape caviar extract and hyaluronic acid to give it hydrating benefits in addition to its skin tone-evening and dark spot-fading properties. It also includes azelaic acid which helps tackle any texture – woohoo for multitasking serums!

Good Molecules Niacinamide Serum

Speaking of multitasking, niacinamide is the ultimate multitasker since it targets breakouts, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and dull texture. This $6 serum is designed to help to "reduce signs of moisture loss" and is especially beneficial for those with combination, oily, and acne-prone skin.

For Wrinkles + Fine Lines

CeraVe Retinol Serum

Using retinol regularly can help increase skin cell turnover, contributing to refined, smoothed texture (including breakouts, dark spots, and wrinkles) and a stronger skin barrier. This $19 serum is formulated with encapsulated retinol, which is a gentler retinol designed to soak deeper into the skin to deliver its benefits.

COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence

This potent $15 serum targets dull, dehydrated skin with snail mucin. The snail essence not only hydrates the skin, but it locks in moisture to prevent moisture loss in the future, which is helpful for reducing signs of aging. It's gentle enough for sensitive skin types and doesn't feel heavy on the skin!

Cocokind Ceramide Barrier Serum

This $22 serum also helps lock in moisture with an effective blend of ceramides and fatty acids. It also includes squalene and beta glucan, which are reportedly "20% more hydrating" than hyaluronic acid. If your skin is dealing with bouts of dryness and wrinkles, boosting your hydration routine with this safe-for-all-skin-types serum will deliver noticeable benefits over time.

For Acne + Texture

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Brightening Serum

This $6 serum boasts a blend of niacinamide and zinc, which in combination help reduce signs of congestion and texture on the skin. Over time, it also aids in brightening the skin for a more radiant, even look.

Versed Press Restart Gentle Retinol Serum

This gentle retinol serum (also made with encapsulated retinol – so no irritation!) was made for aging, dark spots, acne, and clogged pores. The gentle retinol is met by anti-inflammatory antioxidants that balance out its exfoliating effects and boost collagen production.

Good Molecules Discoloration Correcting Face Serum

Made specifically to tackle age spots, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage, this $12 serum formulated with tranexamic acid and 4% niacinamide is an easy add to your current skincare routine. It layers effortlessly under moisturizers and SPF to work its magic over time.

About Rhode Pocket Blush

On their website, Rhode Skin describes the Pocket Blush as a "little blush for a little flush" once again, bringing back that rosy, flushed look that Hailey is so known for. In her own application, Mrs. Bieber applies the blush all over her cheeks, lips, eyes, and nose — it's the perfect all-over rosy look. Outside of the shade, it's also supposed to be a very dewy blush that doesn't leave your skin feeling too greasy or wet-looking.

My Review of Rhode Pocket Blush

I got the dark "toasted teddy" shade, mostly because that was the only one in stock (remember when I said there was a lot of hype?!), but also because I love a dark blush for the fall.

Upon first application I noticed how easily this blush glides onto the skin. You'd almost think it's liquid by how smoothly it applies. Once I started blending, I was super surprised at how pigmented it was — and how little you actually need for a sun-kissed look. Plus, it blends so buttery, and truly melts into the skin.

What I loved most was that it didn't seem wet or too dewy once it melted onto my skin — it almost left a matte finish, which I was obsessed with. I love a dewy look, but I hate looking too greasy or sweaty, so this was a 10/10 for me.

In regards to longevity, this blush essentially lasted most of the day. I only touched up once or twice, but never needed to fully re-apply, because most of the blush's residue stuck behind for the entirety of the day. I re-applied to my nose and eyes, because that's where it needed it the most, but on my cheeks, it definitely stayed. Another factor I loved about this shade, was the color was perfect for my pale skin, and looked incredibly flattering as a lipstick! I've often used it just on my lips to give me a "just bitten" look.

The Final Verdict of Rhode Pocket Blush

Overall, I think this blush really did the trick and delivered a flawless, rosy look that has definitely been my go-to on a daily basis. I've found myself, even on days where I don't want to wear makeup, throwing this on my cheeks, lips, and eyes for a natural, glowy look that adds just enough color to my skin. It seem Hailey's done it again, delivering a viral product that is indeed worth the hype. This blush will for sure be a staple in my everyday makeup routine now.

​Lane Kim

Lane Kim, AKA Rory’s best friend since basically forever, is often overlooked as a main character. She’s actually an extremely relatable and compelling person due to her constant struggles that so many viewers have also dealt with. Kim’s complicated relationship with her mom is highlighted frequently, showcasing the ups and downs of extreme parental expectations.

She navigates romantic endeavors with both Dave and Zack (whom she ends up having two twin children with, showcasing a new parenting storyline) while simultaneously pursuing her passion for music. And throughout all of her personal grappling, Lane remains an upstanding, loyal friend to Rory. You heard it here first: Lane Kimdeserves more respect!

​Michel Gerard

In all our favorite TV shows, there’s always that one side character who puts the main one in their place. In Gilmore Girls, that supporting character is Michel Gerard — and he does it in the most wonderful, humorous, and sassy way possible. Gerard is Lorelai’s co-worker, and while his often-cynical attitude can frustrate her at times, they also have a deeply loving friendship. He brings the show to life with his brutal honesty, witty remarks, and snarky sophistication that many viewers adore, but don’t give enough credit to. Everyone needs a Michel Gerard in their life!

​Kirk Gleason

How could you not love Kirk and his many, many occupational changes. His slightly odd and quirky personality adds a lightness to the more serious plotlines in the show — and it’s much-needed. Kirk is often cast to the side by the residents of Stars Hollow themselves, but his steadfast loyalty to the town and his fun eccentricities make him a character that you just can’t help but love.

Miss Patty

Miss Patty, the town’s dance instructor, is a strong female character who is totally underappreciated. She works as a guiding womanly force for young girls, including Rory and Lane, and displays an evident independence that so many people strive for IRL. Miss Patty doesn’t take any nonsense from others and prioritizes her passion for dance, making her a beacon for following your dreams. She’s the queen of the series, TBH.

​Babette Dell

Every town needs a local gossip, and Babette Dell fulfills that role perfectly. She acts as a longtime friend and neighbor of Lorelai’s, often letting her in on town secrets and offering advice (likely through inappropriate comments, which adds an entertaining touch of comic relief). Babette is also an inherently warm person who loves her family, community, and food — arguably, the most relatable of them all. You can tell she always means well towards others, making her an extremely lovable character.

​Lindsay Lister

Lindsay is the very sweet local girl who formerly attended high school with Rory and, unfortunately, gets caught up in a bit of a love triangle with Rory and Dean. After Rory and Dean's romance comes to an end, he develops a relationship with Lindsay, tying the knot rather quickly. But…then Dean cheats on her, while married, with Rory. Let’s be real here: those two, lovebirds or not, were in the wrong. Lindsay! Deserved! Better!
