Weighing as little as an iPhone and reducing dry time by up to 75%, the latest luxury hair dryers blow the competition away. Labeled “smart” because of their self-clean functions—like a vacuum, hair dryers need to have their filters cleaned because dust and lint build-up slows down drying and can cause fires—the new Gama IQ2 Perfetto ($430), Bio:Ionic Smart-X ($329), and CHI Lava PRO ($337.49) boast strong yet quiet engines that move air around faster and infuse strands with negative ions to fight frizz and damage. The Gama IQ2 Perfetto also comes with a revolutionary star-shaped nozzle, which volumizes fine hair and tames cowlicks without causing flyaways.

Clean, unisex skincare line Valoie utilizes honey in every product, from its RENSE Gel-Balm Cleanser ($42) to AKTIV Pore Repair serum ($85). sk*p bee farm in upstate New York launched a natural deodorant this past spring, mixing honey with tapioca starch to counteract odor and wetness without aluminum ($14). For cold season, Beekeeper’s Naturals Propolis Throat Spray ($14) is a must-have; its propolis-based, 3-in-1 Complete Gut Health ($45) and Royal Jelly Brain Fuel ($30) round out a healthy routine. Sweet indeed.
