We've rounded up eight of our favorite cult-favorite beauty finds — so go ahead and load up your virtual cart.
Here at TotalBeauty, we appreciate a good hydrating toner — and this new formulation from cult favorite Korean beauty brand Cosrx fits that bill nicely.

Let's be real: Beauty products can be seriously bad for the environment. From oft-wasteful packaging to the inclusion of microbeads, some products and brands leave a lot to be desired.
I'll be the first to tell you — I don't spend much time on TikTok. Since I work in digital media, the second I can get off my devices for the day, I do. So I don't spend much time on Instagram, let alone TikTok.
When it comes to learning about skin care, there's a sea of memes, influencer-sponsored posts, and questionable DIY YouTube videos to swim through to find what you need to know. Sometimes it can be overwhelming and confusing to wade through all this info just to find basic information.
Does your acne tend to crop up in clusters? It can be kind of alarming, especially if you're used to dealing with one pimple at a time. At any rate, we've got you covered: We spoke to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman, MD to get the skinny on acne clusters (and how to treat them).
K-pop fans rejoice: Lisa of BLACKPINK (aka Lalisa Manobal) has nabbed a coveted spokesperson gig with M.A.C. She's the face of the brand's Frosted Fireworks Holiday Collection, which includes 11 limited-edition kits, as well as several similarly limited-edition products.

When it comes to skin care I like to say "nighttime is the best time!" It's the time for us to strip away the day: all the makeup, sweat, dirt, oil, pollution, yes — but also, stress!
We're sure that everyone reading this has already been sucked into the trap that is Target. You know how it goes: You go in to pick up paper towels and a carton of eggs... and then somehow you end up with a whole new skin care routine. Which, to be fair, is kind of why we're obsessed in the first place: the Target beauty aisle is the ultimate mashup of well-loved drugstore brands, cool indie companies and even a few luxury options.
It's an all-too-familiar tale: you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror... and you've got an angry red dot staring right back at you.

Yep, acne caused by masks is a real issue — and it can be super frustrating to treat.
Chilly weather has its perks, but flaky, dry skin is definitely not one of them. Come fall and winter, humidity subsides, wind picks up, and indoor heating makes for a super dry environment. To help you stand strong in the face of ultra dry skin, we're showcasing 10 of the most nourishing, moisturizing ingredients you can incorporate into your skin care routine — and throwing in a product recommendation for each.
