One of the downsides of gel manicures is that your hands are exposed to UV light. Enter these handy gloves, $24. Wright explains that the fingerless gloves use UV 50+ protective compression fabric along with hydrating aloe vera microcapsules to protect your hands from premature aging during gel manis. Plus, a portion of the sales go to the Skin Cancer Foundation and Pediatric Cancer Foundation — and the gloves come in fun colors and patterns.
You no longer have to be afraid of at-home waxing, especially when it comes to getting rid of hair on smaller areas. These kits for ears, toes, lips and brows, $7 to $12, "are a perfect travel companion and work on the go to avoid embarrassing situations in between salon appointments," says Wright.
Wright's favorite product in this seaweed-based skin care line is the seaweed soap. "Using Maine seaweed as the primary ingredient, your senses are delighted with the smell of lemongrass as it gently exfoliates your skin," says Wright. "Sustainably sourced, you get fresh ingredients 'from farm to bottle,' plus, using bar soap is better for the planet as you eliminate any plastic waste in the process."
Take your masking routine to the next level with these tea-infused eye masks, $12. "Black and green tea eye masks help reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and [provide] overall eye rejuvenation," says Wright. "These masks are the perfect addition to a Sunday self-care ritual but easy enough to even be used during a long plane flight."
This brand uses a very rare salt from Korea in products ranging from toothpaste, $17.50 to shampoo, $24.50. "First Salt After The Rain is the first brand to use 100 percent Sinan salt, highly nutritious after having absorbed large amounts of minerals from the mudflats, for its personal and skin care products suitable for all skin types," says Wright.
