A Moisturizer Unlike Anything You've Ever Tried
The Product: Original Raw Blue Jam
The Reason: "Blue Jam is a gel type cream that greatly increases the amount of moisture skin retains that is very popular with a number of celebrities in Korea," says Jones. "It includes over 60 natural ingredients to fight aging, even skin tone and prevent breakouts."
Just a tiny bit of this jam (yes, it really is blue and the consistency of jam!) is enough to be superhydrating, and it's a solid choice for acne-prone and oily skin as well as dry skin.

A Deodorant Spray That's (Way) Better Than the Stick
The Product: Narta Deodorant Spray
The Reason: Another item on Fournier's must-bring-back list is this deodorant spray. Spray deodorants are slowly making their way into the U.S. market, but Fournier stocks up on this one because there's no alcohol and it's hypoallergenic -- "natural, fresh and efficient." (Again, a seemingly mundane beauty product turned ultra-chic).

A Pore-Perfecting Primer
The Product: Shiseido Maquillage Pore Perfect Cover
The Reason: This product covers up pores like Spackle. Quynh loves to use it as a makeup primer, because the creamy texture lets foundation and other face makeup glide onto skin -- without being too slippery. "It has a nice matte finish that works well on all skin types."

A Monk-Made Exfoliating Powder
The Product: Santa Maria Novella Skin Whitening Powder
The Reason: This multi-purpose powder comes straight from one of the world's oldest pharmacies: The Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, established in 1211 by Dominican monks. Clear Scalp & Hair Dermatologist Dr. Francesca Fusco uses it as a gentle exfoliant (simply massage onto damp skin), and as a mask. The blend of lupine flour, iris flour and pure rice starch powder leaves skin firm and luminous.

A Natural Body Moisturizer That Puts Others to Shame
The Product: Experelle Lait Corps
The Reason: Fournier says that she'll always opt for natural beauty products if she can. This smoothing milk "smells divine" -- "like you've been on vacation in the countryside." (Swoon.)
It's so nourishing, but incredibly light, and sinks into skin and leaves it velvety-soft.
