Elephant in the room: last year sucked, and we could all use something to look forward to in 2021. That’s why we’re kicking off a whole new Beauty Awards at POPSUGAR — one that will feel like a party for the best new beauty products under a certain theme every single month, vetted by our trusted team of editors.
For our first month, we’re raising a glass (jar of face cream) to the self-care superstars that got us through the hard times . . . or at least made them a smidge more bearable. After all, many people leaned into beauty as a way to regain a sense of control, calm, and joy in a time marbled with stress and uncertainty. Now there’s no better time to celebrate the transformative power of a little TLC — and these winning skin-, hair-, and body-care products will give it to you good.
