($50) SHASA MITCHAM Assistant buyer, beauty and fragrance specialist, Forty Five Ten, Dallas and Houston 111SKIN ROSE GOLD BRIGHTENING FACIAL TREATMENT MASK The best face mask ever — buy it now and thank me later. I love to use this mask before a big event, or simply as a way to pamper myself. It's dripping with d a m a s k r o s e e x t r a c t , an ingredient that's rich in antioxidants to nourish the skin. The 24K gold transforms a dull complexion into one that is luminous and radiant. After one treatment, skin feels supple, hydrated, and visibly brighter.

This game changer harnesses the power of 22 botanicals and essential oils from the most conscious and quality-focused growers around the world. If a crop is unavailable, no substitutions are made to the super-power formulation. Just fi ve to six drops a day of this liquid gold delivers radiance, clarity, and brightness. Proof that Mother Nature is the best stylist. ($185) CULT FAVORITE ARGENTUM LA POTION INFINIE This is my favorite facial moisturizer, especially in the summer. It wraps my skin in a soft silky layer of moisture without feeling heavy or oily, due to a key component, HP DNA peptide, a patented ingredient that optimizes hydration by carrying 10,000 times its weight in water. Colloidal Silver, another key ingredient, acts as an anti-inflammatory to calm i r r i t a t e d a n d s t r e s s e d s k i n that may have been subjected to one too many pool days.

The Jasmine Garden is the perfect midday pick-me-up. Just a few sprays, and my skin instantly feels refreshed, revitalized, and hydrated. It's also great for setting makeup to give skin a natural, dewy glow. ($70) DR. BARBARA STURM HYALURONIC AMPOULES This product is an absolute lifesaver. If I'm in a pinch and don't have time for a facial mask or treatment, this is what I reach for. It's an intensive moisturizing treatment with immediate visible results. Purslane, a hero ingredient of Dr. Sturms' skincare range, is full of antioxidants to protect skin cells against damage. The packing is genius: You get seven ampoule treatments in a sleek box that's perfect for on the go — a must-have when I'm traveling. ($215) LA VIERGE DE FER BY SERGE LUTENS I adore Serge Lutens perfumes and often have a diffi cult time deciding which to wear on any given day. However, La Vierge de Fer ("The Iron Maiden") is a go-to in summer. The sparkling and sublimely chilly lily bouquet is a perfect veil of scent for the warmer season. (50ML $150, 100ML $230) DEBASER BY D.S. & DURGA I m a g i n e zooming down the highway in a convertible with the top down during the high heat of summer. The wind whips through your h a i r a s t h e music of Black Francis blares f r o m e v e r y speaker. That's the inspiration for D.S. & Durga's Debaser fragrance with notes of pear stem, fi g, coconut, and blond woods. Rock 'n' roll! (50ML $175) Shasa Mitcham 53
