Though it still doesn't quite feel like fall to me, my skin is telling me otherwise. My sensitive, prickly skin has gone from mildly tight to intensely irritated -- almost overnight.

So I've traded my day cream for something more sumptuous, switched to a soothing cleansing balm and doubled down on my usual moisturizing regimen, using Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Coconut Oil Body Lotion, $5.50.

Thick, rich and supremely hydrating, this body lotion sinks in immediately, leaving no sticky residue. I slather it on my arms, shoulders, back and legs just before bed and don't have to worry about my sheets clinging to me. It soothes my itchy skin instantly and keeps it smooth and happy the next day. And, unlike some tropical fragrances, this coconut scent is fresh, crisp and not at all cloying.

The formula contains a trifecta of skin-nourishing ingredients -- raw coconut oil, Tahitian Monoi oil and sweet almond oil -- all ethically and sustainably sourced. Shea butter, cocoa butter and aloe round out the list. What you won't find inside: parabens, phthalates, dyes or mineral oil -- impressive on its own, but even more notable when you consider the very affordable price tag. --Jill Provost

Sometimes less is more. You know, like when you're hitting the road and you've got a finite amount of space in your makeup bag. But if you're like me, you also can't bear the thought of leaving behind bronzer...or highlighter...or blush... or eye shadow. Which is why Charlotte Tilbury's Instant Look in a Palette, $75 is such a game-changer.

The sleek compact contains three eye shadows, a bronzer, highlighter and two shades of blush -- just about all the makeup I need while traveling. And it's not just a space-saver; it's a time-saver, too. It comes with idiot-proof, Charlotte-Tilbury-approved instructions illustrating how to put on a full face of makeup in a mere five minutes. (And it works -- I've timed it!)

The palette has accompanied me everywhere from Paris to Indiana, and it's become as essential a traveling companion as my sound-canceling headphones and neck pillow. --Mary Squillace

I've written about dozens of great SPF products over the years, and I currently have three or four I'm happy to switch between on any given day. But the more I use Karyng Complete Broad Spectrum SPF50, $75, the more I find myself going back to it, and the better my skin looks. It's quickly eclipsing my other favorites.

I think the biggest reason this sunblock is so amazing is it's seriously moisturizing, yet it's not a moisturizer with SPF (an important distinction in my book) -- it's a sunblock first and foremost. It contains coconut oil, glycerin and lecithin to keep skin hydrated all day, as well as a high-tech anti-inflammatory complex and an echinacea extract for antioxidant protection. The texture is fantastic and mousse-y with a slight tint, and it sinks in incredibly fast despite being a mineral sunblock (with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide -- my sun-protection ingredients of choice because they create a physical barrier from UV rays). As an added bonus skin care dorks like me will appreciate, it also has iron oxides to protect skin from visible light. All that and it's almost completely natural and free of parabens, phthalates and synthetic fragrances.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that this sunblock was created by a brilliant dermatologist, Dr. Karyn Grossman. She knows a thing or two about skin aging, and this product fights it in multiple ways, which is why it's my current go-to -- and probably will be for a very long time. --Dawn Davis

I'm in an awkward phase, skin-wise. Wrinkles are becoming a concern, but my skin can't handle the majority of the superrich night creams out there. They leave me greasy and, on occasion, make me break out. I am not here for that. But I am here for Clarins Multi-Active Night, $56. This magical elixir was designed to be a bodyguard against skin problems brought on by lack of sleep and stress (*raises hand*). Teasel and organic California poppy tag-team fine lines and wrinkles, covering my anti-aging bases. Hyaluronic acid brings the moisture without the greasiness, which is perfect for my combination skin. And the formula is creamy, but doesn't feel like I'm suffocating my face when I put it on. Plus, it has a light touch of soothing fragrance that helps me unwind before bedtime (whenever that may be). I may never achieve that coveted eight hours of sleep, but at least I know this cream has got my back (face?). -- Allie Flinn

I'm always trying to achieve brighter skin. Between the California sun, which results in (not cute) freckles and my bad habit of picking blemishes, my skin takes quite a beating -- and it shows.

While there are hundreds of brightening products out there that claim to fix a spotty complexion, I've never had any real results until the day Shiseido White Lucent MicroTargeting Spot Corrector, $130, made its way across my desk. This lightweight serum sinks into my skin like a dream (keeping my morning routine quick), and zaps dark spots and acne scars within just a few weeks. Truthfully, I noticed a brighter complexion after just one week of devoted use, and after a month my skin was flawless, even and radiant.

Shiseido's MicroTarget technology targets each blemish and blurs their appearance. Meanwhile, the other active ingredient, SAKURAResist Technology (made from Japanese cherry blossoms), helps to minimize the appearance of future dark spots, creating an overall even and brighter complexion now and in the days to come (because lord knows old habits die hard). I apply the brightening serum in the morning between my cleanser and moisturizer, and again in the evening. The results? A glow so radiant, I had friends asking me if I recently had a facial. --Jessica Amaris
