This tinted sunscreen from CeraVe — which was purchased over 40,000 times last month, according to Amazon — offers skin care benefits, SPF protection and light, makeup-like coverage all in one. Contributing writer Tanya Edwards can attest to its soothing, non-greasy formula, saying "it includes ceramides, which are essential for maintaining the skin’s natural barrier, and hyaluronic acid, which helps retain moisture, ensuring the skin stays hydrated throughout the day."

Notice thinning hair? Or just generally desire more fullness and lift? You'll want to grab this serum from Nioxin, a Shop TODAY Hair Award-winning and editor-loved brand. According to Nioxin, the lightweight, unscented formula can help to create the appearance of thicker hair. Garcia shares that the product has great technology backing it, saying "it works by energizing the hair follicles by widening them and making the hair thicker and stronger."

This effortless, elevated basic piece will make dressing for spring so much easier. Garcia recommends this short-sleeved shirt straight from her own closet. "This honestly looks and feels like cashmere," she says, adding that it's also easy to dress up or down. "It's so soft, it looks designer [and] it's under $20!" The top comes in 34 colors, has sizes ranging from XS to XXL and has an impressive 4.6-star overall rating on Amazon.

With over 50,000 five-star ratings, these sandals are truly customer-loved. They're an easy, everyday sandal you’ll wear nonstop, with a super-cushioned footbed that makes them easy to wear all day. They're also available in a men’s version. "They look just like more expensive styles, but I think these are better because of the quality for the price," Garcia points out. "I style these with everything from jean shorts to maxi skirts, and they’re perfect to slip on to walk outside, too."

This Nutribullet gadget takes you seamlessly from blending to sipping: simply fill, blend and go. It uses a higher-voltage battery than other portable blenders, making it more powerful overall, and the stainless steel tumbler keeps your drink cold for up to 24 hours, according to the brand. It’s lightweight, rechargeable and cordless, so you can use it just about anywhere, and it even has a carrying handle. "I love taking it in my car, throwing it in my gym bag or using it at the office," Garcia says. "It helps me stay consistent with my smoothie and protein shake goals."

Garcia says she comes from an air fryer family, but the "worst thing" is cleaning it. She vouches for these non-stick, BPA-free paper liners, which she calls game-changers in the kitchen. “Toss them in the garbage after you’re done cooking or reheating food. They even hold up against the heaviest, greasiest foods.... You still get that crispy texture, but none of the annoying cleanup,” she adds.

If you're a big air fryer user, Garcia says this cooking guide is a "lifesaver" in the kitchen. Simply place the magnets on your fridge or any magnetic surface and never have to guess or look up an air fryer cooking time or temperature again. There’s a version that comes with pressure cooker times and temperatures, too.

The season for wearing more skirts and dresses is here, and these shaping shorts provide a supportive and confidence-boosting layer underneath. "They aren't uncomfortable or restrictive, and I never have to worry about them riding up at the leg," shares associate editor Kamari Stewart-Jackson. "The waistband is lined with silicone grips and spaced-out soft flex boning, which keeps the material at the top exactly where I want it."

With over 16,000 ratings on Amazon, this affordable solution was purchased more than 40,000 times in the last month. Per the brand, it visibly reduces signs of tired eyes and dark circles, thanks to its effective blend of EGCG and 5% caffeine — a concentration amount that one board-certified dermatologist previously told Shop TODAY is enough to effectively decrease puffiness in the under-eye area.

Heading on a trip this season? Don't forget to pack these travel-friendly bottles, which associate editor Shannon Garlin loves for their easy-to-clean silicone.
