Priced at just $20, the formula contains a blend of nourishing oils, including vitamin E, vitamin A, rosemary, calendula, and lavender.

Since launching in 2015, Jessica Alba's Honest Beauty has quickly gained traction for its high-performance, clean formulas that are also wallet-friendly.

"I have a steam most nights, and while I’m in there, my body is sweating, so I’ll put oil on and then use this body gua sha the same way as I use the lymphatic drainage brush,” Macpherson explains. She then uses the body gua sha in back and forth motions up her arms and shoulders to create a gentle massaging sensation.

A skincare pick-me-up in a bottle, The Heritage Store’s Rosewater is beloved by Jennifer Aniston.

The award-winning makeup tool is water-activated, which allows it to pick up just the right amount of product so you can evenly apply foundation to create an airbrushed finish. For the best results, Brinkley suggests first wetting the blender and squeezing out the excess water, then stippling on a lighter color of foundation under the eyes and a warmer formula under the cheek area using the tool. “Then, I just use a little bit of whatever is left and apply it down the neck, down the decolletage, and over the forehead,“ she said.
