To use
19. Curl-enhancing creams, gels and serums to de-frizz and define waves and curls. Try Joico Curl Definer Crème/Gel ($18.99) or Redken Fresh Curls Curl Refiner cream ($20)

20. Straightening hair balms, such as Phyto Phytodéfrisant ($24), to speed blow-drying and stay sleek until the next shampoo.

21. Volumizing hair mousse and sprays to create full-bodied style. Pump up with AG Foam Weightless Volumizer ($17.95), or Alberto European Extrême Style Weightless Volume mousse ($5.49).

22. Gentle facial exfoliants, such as St. Ives Gentle Apricot Scrub ($5.99), Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant ($70), or YSL Instant Pur Natural Action Exfoliator Granule-Free ($58), to brighten skin without surface stress.

23. Concealer to banish shadows, redness and discolouration. You'll look younger and fresher, and need less makeup, too.

24. Foundation primer to help makeup glide on and last longer. Try Biotherm Base Magic ($24), or Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation ($44).

25. Chanel eye shadow, which has goof-proof sheer texture and great staying power. Try Chanel Ombre Essentielle Soft Touch Eyeshadow ($33 each).

26. Physician-recommended products to soothe sensitive and reactive skin, such as La Roche-Posay, Cliniderm (has hair care, too) and Avène.

27. Exfoliating body cream, such as Jergens Replenishing Vitamin E with beta hydroxy ($8.49) and NeoStrata Daytime Ultra-Smoothing SPF 15 with 10% Glycolic Acid ($35.99), which hydrate and de-flake skin at the same time.

28. Hardworking foot cream, such as Vichy Podexine Callus Corrector ($15.50), which contains salicylic acid to reduce calluses and soften skin.

29. Band-Aid Brand Blister Cushions ($6.50) and Anti-Blister Stick ($8.99) to protect and prevent painful blistered heels and toes.

30. Shoe liners, such as Foot Petals Killer Kushionz ($15.95) and Airplus for Her Love My Straps ($7.99). Comfy feet lead to a serene countenance -- beautiful!
