“I grew up on drugstore products—St. Ives Apricot Scrub! Aussie 3-Minute Miracle! First-gen Herbal Essences shampoos and conditioners!—and pharmacy finds have remained a staple in my beauty arsenal ever since. Avène’s Mineral Ultralight Sunscreen has been my savior so far this summer. This French pharmacy export has a highly effective blend of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide with no chemical UV filters. Plus, it is surprisingly not chalky—my biggest gripe with most mineral sunscreens.” Avene Mineral Ultralight Hydrating Sunscreen Lotion, Face SPF 50+, $28 walgreens.com

“My hands-down favorite drugstore product is Revlon’s Colorstay Moisture Stain lip tint. The makeup artist Gucci Westman introduced it to me on a shoot and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I think I own five shades, possibly more, although my favorite is Stockholm Chic. They give your mouth the perfect hint of color, they’re hydrating but not shiny, and it really lasts.” Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain in Stockholm Chic, $8 drugstore.com

“No matter how many fancy balms I try, I always return to Aquaphor, which I slather on my lips (not to mention my cuticles, dry spots, and cheekbones and eyelids as a non-shimmery highlighter). I have one in every bag and, ringing in at roughly $5, I feel no shame when I lose it—unfortunately an all too regular occurrence. Also a special shoutout to Cerave’s Moisturizing Lotion for being the best (and cheapest) body cream on the market.” Eucerin Aquaphor Lip Repair Ointment, $4 target.com
