NB: What are your desert-island beauty products? EK: I must have facial moisturizer—Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentré ($28)—and lip balm, Aquaphor Lip Repair ($4). Anything else is a bonus. But without these two items, I will age 100 years in an instant.

Nothing. Gets. It. Done. Like. Carmex. I should note here that I am NOT a Carmex ambassador. I just love this stuff. I have tried other lip balms in cool, creative containers and fruity scents. I have used oils and moisturizers and crèmes. And then I unscrew that red cap and gently squeeze that yellow tube, and out drifts that sweet menthol, and only then do I know that I am home.

I found a shampoo that works!!!!! Most shampoos leave my dry hair feeling even drier. This shampoo actually thickens my hair. I don’t know what’s in it. I try not to think too much about what could possibly be making my hair this thick. I use the Hinoki fragrance for my hair, and then I finish my shower experience with Bergamote 22 body lotion. Nobody smells better than me during these eight to ten minutes.
