"My skincare rotation is often changing. (It's the blessing and curse that comes with being a beauty editor.) Two things that have remained staples in my routine are the Too Cool For School Rules of Mastic IX Enhancer Recovery Balm ($18) and the Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Pore Strip to Facial Scrub ($7), which is what I would pick up with the money.
I use the balm with the same vigour as the woman in the Frank's Red Hot commercials. Dry skin, redness, areas that look dull — I put this sh*t on everything. The fragrance-free cream is thick and intensely hydrating yet never leaves behind any slippery, greasy residue. I go through the stuff so fast because it truly quells all of my skin concerns with one pea-sized amount.
As for the pore strips, in just two minutes, they pull dirt and oils that have collected on the skin of my nose, exfoliate the area, and leave the area looking and feeling clearer." — Jesa Marie Calaor, assistant editor, Beauty
