It's been a few years since we let bloggers, fashion designers, and nearly every brand imaginable paint the town a light, salmon-y shade of pink. Eventually dubbed millennial pink, it was everywhere and anywhere, but it's time to make room for a new hue. After a tough past year, we could all benefit from the refreshing effects of a bright, mood-boosting color like mint . . . especially in our beauty routines.

On the beauty front, mint makes sense beyond just a color-theory approach. As an ingredient, it's cooling and invigorating — providing the perfect morning jolt or helping you feel clean and energized after another day spent commuting between your couch, bed, and desk. Curious to know what products are out there? Ahead, we've rounded up 12 minty beauty buys to upgrade every part of your routine, including our favorite selections from the new e.l.f. Cosmetics Mint Melt makeup collection.
