Glossy balms
About her favorite lip product, Kelsey says “A lip balm's texture and moisture + just a hint of pretty color = glossy balm. Plenty of beauty brands make them now, but my absolute favorite is Clinique Chubby Stick.”

Bacitracin
Kelsey’s next pick may seem a little unusual at first, but there’s a method to the madness. “Yes, I'm referring to the antibiotic ointment. I keep one in my purse at all times—it's the best-ever cuticle cream (especially for a nail-biter like me) and clears up even the most stubborn breakouts. Plus, a dab on lips or eyelids works as a soft-and-subtle gloss.”

Hawaiian Hair Mask
As for her go-to hair smoother, Kelsey says “I love a luxe hair treatment—and hydration is so important for hair health. Apply plenty to damp strands from roots to tips, then let it sit for 15 minutes. Aim for once a week and air-dry after if ya can. Try Alba Botanica Hawaiian Deep Conditioning Minute Mask in So Smooth Gardenia.”
