Become Your Best Beauty Self With Our January Must Haves

After a day walking around NYC — my face blasted with cold, windy (polluted!) air — the last thing I want to do at night is scrub it with a hard cleanser. That's why I am a fan of Elemis's Special Edition Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser ($49). First, it's got a soothing, musky Mediterranean scent thanks to neroli, bergamot, and cedarwood. The balmy cream is applied to dry skin and loosens as you massage it in, and then you rinse it off with a hot towel (a washcloth mitten is provided). My skin was left soft, dewy, and makeup-free.
