Peel is one of the scariest words in skincare — but it doesn't have to be. These chemical exfoliating pads wipe away dead skin and sebum to improve texture and clarity, but don't cause dryness and redness because they also contain calming floral extracts, too.

Avocado toast might be one of the reasons millennials can't afford to buy homes, but cutting back on the fruit at breakfast to save money doesn't mean it has to be out of your life entirely. Case in point: Glow Recipe's Avocado Melt Sleeping Mask. The follow up to the K-beauty brand's cult-favorite Watermelon Sleeping Mask contains the hydrating superfruit, PHA acid to gently exfoliate, and non-drying kaolin clay to pull out impurities. Wear it as you sleep, or use it as a 10-minute rinse-off mask.

Opposites attract when it comes to skincare products, too. This cream carries a positive charge so that it latches onto negatively-charged skin. Leave on overnight so that its blend of exfoliating acids, nourishing passionfruit oil, and hydrating hyaluronic acid smooths and softens skin.

In addition to the six matte lipsticks inspired by the shades Damas and her stylist friends wear, the collection also includes this four-pan palette. Wear any of the shades alone, mix and match them for a custom color, or do as Damas says she does, and wear them on your lips and cheeks.

Nécessaire is a new gender-neutral, sex-positive personal care brand that's co-created by Nick Axelrod, one of Into The Gloss' co-founders and Randi Christiansen, former Estee Lauder executive. The initial five product lineup includes this lush body wash, which uses plant-based surfactants instead of the harsh, moisture-stripping chemicals that are usually used to make liquid washes froth. If the sandalwood scent isn't your thing, there's also a fragrance-free option.
