PRO TIP: SPF should be put on the face, ears, neck, and hands every morning and reapplied every two hours when you’re exposed to the sun—even if you’re just sitting near a window!

PRO TIP: Dab on your spot treatment where you need it before putting on moisturizer (ideally at night) so it really has a chance to penetrate the skin and work its zit-zapping magic.

PRO TIP: Apply retinol at night before bed. Put a pea-size amount on your finger and divide it equally among the four quadrants of your face. Follow with moisturizer to minimize redness and peeling.

PRO TIP: For brows that look natural, focus more of the product on the outer edges. Packing too much on the inner areas toward your nose often results in a “blocky” look, Quynh says. If you mess up or apply too much, use a clean spoolie to brush out any clumps.

PRO TIP: Dot the concealer where you need it and use a bare brush to buff gently. For a seamless finish, start with less product and slowly add more in thin layers.

PRO TIP: Spray this detangler onto your hair to air-dry or before using any thermal tool, as it also provides protection.
