Whether from the sun or genetics, if you have dark spots or hyperpigmentation, you know that sometimes, even with the help of a full-coverage concealer, these troublesome marks can be almost to conceal. Because of the concentrated pigmentation, it can be extra challenging to find a formula that’s opaque and full coverage enough to conceal, correct, and stay put throughout the day. Color correctors can be a miracle product for hiding dark spots, all thanks to their darkness-canceling capabilities, but it’s important to find the right hue to get the job done.

Peachy and orange-hued shades are generally best for counteracting the look of darkness and brightening dark spots. Colors correctors work according to the principles of the color wheel, which posits that are opposite of one another on the color wheel can cancel the other out. Because blue and purple are on the opposite end of orange and peach on the color wheel, these two shades work to cancel the other one out.  Ahead, we’ve lined up a few of our favorite color-correcting concealers to hide dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Whether you’re platinum blonde battling brassiness, a vibrant cherry-hued redhead with major fading or a rich brunette mourning the loss of vibrance, these multi-purpose hair conditioners will help bring your hair back to life without having to step foot in a salon.

Aloe vera has long been touted as an after-sun skin healer for burns and irritation after skimping on the SPF during a long day in the sun. However, aloe vera has a slew of other uses too. From calming redness from irritation to delivering a surge of moisture without relying on heavy oils and other humectants, this, multi-use skin healer is definitely the underrated ingredient missing from your current lineup. Aside from healing painful sunburns and rashes, this secret beauty ingredient functions as an all-natural anti-inflammatory, chock full of skin-loving antioxidants that lifts redness an discoloration, offers non-greasy moisture and refines pores, just to name a few key benefits.

Aside from its vast range of skin-enhancing benefits, aloe vera is also amazing for hair as well. Aloe vera-infused products are especially great for natural hair types, thanks to the plant’s plethora of polyphenols, which block bacterial growth and help strands retain moisture. Whether you use it on your skin, scalp, or strands, aloe vera is one of the best ingredients that offers endless beauty benefits. Ahead, we’ve selected a few of our favorite formulas to try out for yourself.
