If I don't apply cuticle oil every single day, my hands look rough and ragged. While I'm guilty of dabbing my least favorite face oil onto my cuticles, there are reasons to use actual cuticle oil: It's formulated specifically for that skin, and it's designed to sink in fast. Revlon Essential Cuticle Oil, $6.99, is my new go-to. It contains a blend of natural oils and vitamin E to hydrate cuticles and nails instantly. And at such a great price point, I feel like I can apply it with wild abandon.

There are so many zillions of dry shampoos on the market, and many of them serve different purposes. So I have a wardrobe of dry shampoos, and I choose one for whatever my hair needs: volume, texture, oil absorption, etc. Nexxus Dry Shampoo Refreshing Mist, $12.99, is my new favorite for masking smells (like the remnant's of Saturday night's barbecue rib fest). It makes hair seem fresh and clean with very little residue and a pretty fragrance -- exactly what I want from a dry shampoo (at least some of the time).

I'm usually obsessive about eradicating every last freckle on my face, but lately my attention has turned to my pores. Sorry, guys, but it's time to go. Perricone Pre: Empt Series Exfoliating Pore Refiner, $60, is my newest pore-minimizing weapon, and I'm starting to notice a difference after only a few weeks. It's essentially a toner you apply after cleansing, and it tightens pores with plant-derived antioxidants and DMAE. It also works to brighten skin, so I don't have to give up my freckle-erasing campaign completely.

The season of frizz is upon us, and I'm desperate to do anything I can to keep it at bay -- anything, that is, except a keratin treatment. (I don't have the time, and I'd rather spend the cash on sundresses.) So I'm using John Frieda Frizz Ease 10 Day Tamer, $12.99, once a week instead. It's a pre-shampoo treatment you apply to dry hair to smooth strands and block humidity -- and it lasts for up to 10 days or through five washes. It's the only at-home treatment I've tried that comes close to an in-salon de-frizzer, and it doesn't burn the hell out of your eyes.

It's June, which means it's officially time to switch to a gel moisturizer. However, most of the existing formulas -- while fabulous -- aren't hydrating enough for my dry-ish skin. Algenist Splash Absolute Hydration Replenishing Gel Moisturizer, $58, is the perfect balance of light gel texture and supermoisturizing formula. It's packed with red algae and electrolytes to boost hydration and plump wrinkles, and the benefits last all day.
