Finding the right sunscreen can feel a little like Goldilocks (one's too greasy, another one clogs pores, etc). But this year, brands really stepped up their game with high-SPF sunscreens that feel lightweight and -- wait for it -- actually improve the look of your skin, immediately and over time.

If you make one splurge this year, make it on our Face Sunscreen SPF 30+ winner, Tatcha Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35, $68. Upon application it makes skin look smooth, poreless and matte --without a trace of greasiness or icky sunscreen smell -- and provides a perfect base for foundation.

Taking the honorable mention place is La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Oil-Free Dry Touch Sunscreen, $19.99. It's completely oil-free -- in fact, it absorbs oil -- leaving skin with a matte finish and protecting it from the sun with SPF 60 and a complex of antioxidants.

If we had an unlimited hair budget and lots of free time, we'd be total barflies (Drybar's name for its patrons who have a membership). As it is, we're stuck blowing out our hair ourselves, achieving with less-than-Drybar-worthy results -- until these magic products crossed our desks.

Oribe Imperial Blowout Transformative Styling Crème, $69, won Best Style Enhancer for its ability to help even the least blow-dryer-savvy members of our team get amazing results in record time. It contains a special polymer that helps your style last for days, plus a skin-care-inspired blend of repairing ingredients.

It's no coincidence, then, that our runner up is another blowout-enhancer: Shu Uemura Straightforward Time-Saving Blow Dry Oil Spray, $39. Simply mist its formula (inspired by the way foundation glides onto skin) over sections of your hair, and get ready for supersilky, supersmooth strands.

The winners and honorable mentions in our Body Moisturizer and Body Wash categories all had one thing in common: Coconuts.

The sudsy, luxurious Victoria's Secret Coconut Milk Ultrarich Cream Wash, $18, and Aveeno Skin Relief Gentle Scent Body Wash Nourishing Coconut, $7.49 are delicately and deliciously scented with the tropical smell.

Our winners in the Body Moisturizer category are formulated with skin-softening coconut oil. Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Coconut Oil Body Lotion, $7.39, contains both coconut oil and coconut milk for added nourishment, while Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, $45, contains the superstar oil plus guarana and cupuacu butter to lift, firm and moisturize our skin.

In other words: This year we were coo-coo for coconuts.

Moisturizer imparts the most benefits when your skin is slightly damp. But, really, who wants to only partially dry off after hopping out of the shower. (Can you say, "brrrr?") That's where genius in-shower moisturizers come in.

Both Eucerin In-Shower Moisturizer Body Lotion, $10.99, and Nivea In-Shower Hydrating Body Lotion, $7.99, are designed to be applied, as their names suggest, in the shower. Here's how you use them: Cleanse with your usual body wash, then apply them all over and rinse. It's as easy as that to get superhydrated skin.

But there's a reason Jergens Wet Skin, $7.99, won our Body Breakthrough award: This in-shower moisturizer requires no rinsing. Simply rub it all over wet skin and towel off as usual.

There's nothing better than discovering an amazing product before anyone else. This year, indie brands were huge, in part due to influencers and social media leveling the playing field and giving smaller brands the spotlight. Given the Korean beauty craze that's been sweeping the USA, it's no surprise that there were several indie Korean imports that amazed us this year: Chosungah 22, Too Cool For School and Re:P.

Chosungah was the first major professional makeup artist in Korea, and her products are a true reflection of K-beauty. Some of our faves include the 24H Raybeam Cream, which gives skin the dreamiest glow, and the Dong Gong Minn Jello Color Eyeshadow Palette, $39, which comes with wearable eye shadow shades in an easy-to-apply, bouncy formula.

We squealed over everything that came in from Too Cool For School. The dinosaur-themed packaging of the Dinoplatz line is beyond adorable, and innovative products, like the Escalator Mascara, $25, that allows you to change the length of your mascara wand, were seriously impressive.

Re:p is a cruelty-free, eco-friendly brand hailing from Korea and that's recently become available in the States. Their Organic Cotton Treatment Toning Pads, $44, won the award for Best Toner/Mist because the supersaturated, pre-soaked pads are easy to swipe on after cleansing, and are packed with good-for-skin ingredients like damask rose, tea tree and calendula.
