Around these parts, we always double cleanse, especially using this unctuous cleansing balm by Farmacy that seamlessly melts away everything from waterproof mascara to stubborn sunscreen.

It also happens to be the highest-rated cleansing balm on Sephora.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum body cream
This body cream catapulted into cult-like fame several years ago not just for its custardy and nourishing formula, but because users just couldn't get enough of the lingering gourmand scent, which is slightly nutty and perfectly vanilla-ed.

Sephora
Sunday Riley Good Genes lactic acid serum
The reader-obsession for Sunday Riley's Good Genes serum possibly stems from the product's high content of lactic acid, a unique chemical exfoliant that encourages quick cell turnover in the surface layers of the skin, leaving it smoother and helping clear up blemishes. It’s paired with licorice and lemongrass in this formula, which can help brighten up the look of dark spots, sun damage and other discoloration, and prickly pear extract that can help soothe redness and calm sensitive skin. It's the perfect example of a product with a fairly common active ingredient that is perfectly formulated with other complementary ingredients to make it even more effective.

Sephora Peptide firming night cream
Peptides are an often-spoken-about and sought-after ingredient here at HuffPost, especially when it comes to peptides' capacity for improving the skin's barrier and plumping skin. I recently made the switch to this night cream, which has the most gorgeous thick texture that truly hydrates and comforts my parched skin. The formula is also unscented, which is a huge plus in my book, and I highly suggest this to anyone that doesn't want to spend a fortune on a good quality face moisturizer.
