K-beauty brand HaruHaru Wonder's Black Rice toner
K-beauty brand HaruHaru Wonder's Black Rice toner protects the skin against UV rays and pollution as the weather warms up. HaruHaru means day by day in Korean, and the brand's goal is to integrate simple skincare into everyday life.

It also uses ultra deep technology that allows the active ingredients to absorb effectively into the skin's layers and provide maximum hydration.

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer
This isn't your typical primer; it's more like skincare! The Milk Makeup Hydro Grip uses ingredients that hydrate and soothe your skin. It infuses the hemp-derived cannabis seed extract with blue agave water, allowing it to set your makeup in place all day. The primer's gel texture makes it feel like a serum, ideal for a makeup base or for a dewy natural glow. All you need is a thin layer and you're good to go.
Supergoop! (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 30
Applying SPF is extremely important for protecting your skin. But have you tried it in powder form? For fans of the soft matte finish, NOVA recommends the Supergoop! (Re)setting Powder. Ideal for those with oily skin, Supergoop's unique formula is brilliant for keeping makeup in place during humid spring afternoons.
Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil
If you're on the hunt for a bit of extra glowiness as we welcome in spring, NOVA recommends Fenty Beauty's Diamond Bomb. The highlighter is
the newest addition to Rihanna's Fenty universe and comes in four shades: a velvety rich gold, a peachy pink, a cooler champagne shade and a pure platinum. The inspiration behind the Diamond Bomb was the iconic sheer crystal-embellished dress Riri wore to the CFDA Awards in 2014. The multi-talented businesswoman clearly wanted to shine bright like a diamond, and channelled all of her sparkle into these shimmers: You can never have enough diamonds, she wrote on her website. This is the closest thing to bathing in it. The sparkle in this is just insane!
Scalp Treatment
As the seasons change, so do the needs of our hair. Scalp care isn't always a priority, but Aveda's new Scalp Solutions range is designed for all hair types, textures and most importantly, scalp types. Aveda often champions plant-powered products and takes a vegan approach. The line uses both Salicylic Acid to exfoliate the scalp and hyaluronic acid to strengthen the scalp. Plus, the citrus scent is perfect for the transition from spring to summer to cool your scalp in sticky weather.
