T&C Editors Share Their Morning Routine Essentials
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.
Masque Vivant
"Aida Bicaj says to do this every day and so I do this every day. It's especially helpful with my current travel schedule. I mix it with Masque VIP O2 and swear it combats what jet lag does to my face. I make my Cup of Nespresso Intenso, put on my mask, catch up on emails, and then, GO!" —Stellene Volandes, Editor in Chief
The Deodorant Balm
"I never thought I would rave about a deodorant, but this stuff is a game-changer. Not only is it natural, elegantly packaged, and beautifully scented (Columbia Road, my favorite, smells like iris and amber) - it WORKS." —April Long, Beauty Director
Complete Tanning Set
"I have never been one to use a self-tanner before, but after trying Saltyface, I have officially been converted. Who doesn't love looking sunkissed even in the dead of winter?" —Ana Osorno, Social Media Editor
Skin Caviar Eye Lift
"My morning routine essential, and has been for many, many years, is the application of the only eye cream I use: La Prairie's Skin Caviar Eye Lift. It replenishes, it plumps, it makes feel taken care of. Now, it has a new formula and packaging, cobalt blue so it really stands out on your medicine cabinet. For mega fans of the brand, it's doing a pop-up March 8-10 at the base of Aspen Mountain. If you're in the area, you'll get to try on much more than the eye cream." —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director
Monsieur Big Waterproof Mascara 01
"If I could only use one beauty item for the rest of my life, it would, without a doubt, be this Lancôme mascara. It's been my tried and true for the past decade." —Ana Osorno, Social Media Editor
Rice & Geranium Foaming Cleanser, 70g
"I am faithful to the Chantecaille Rice & Geranium Foaming Cleanser. I delight in starting my morning routine (after coffee of course) with this gentle yet highly effective cleanse, followed by the Rose de Mai Cream—light and soothing!" —Nelida Mortensen, Senior Visual Editor
The Eye Patches
"I am dedicated to never looking tired even when I very much am. These eye patches are my secret weapon." —Isiah Magsino, Style News Editor
Capsules Vertuo, Barista Flavored Pack
"The only absolutely essential part of my morning is a cup of coffee. If I'm working from home, I'll make a Nespresso pod before I do anything else." —Emily Burack, Senior News Editor
Cutout Bodysuit
"I like to start my mornings off right with yoga & meditation. I love this bodysuit to wear for my morning practice." —Dania Ortiz, Fashion & Accessories Director
Due Alberi Biphase Moisturizing Oil
"Dry winter weather has me adding extra moisture into my skincare routine. I love this Biphase Oil from Futurna Skin, it saved my skin!" —Hannah Morrolf, Fashion Assistant
Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30
"I am so impressed with the new Dr. Few skincare line (retinol sensitive readers, I urge you to try the Clean Retinol—it's amazing), and this silky, lightweight tinted mineral sunscreen is now my go-to every morning." —April Long, Beauty Director
Natural Multipurpose Dog Grooming Wipes
"Does it count if it's a morning essential for my dog? Every time we get back inside after our morning walk, I wipe my dog's paws with Burt's Bees dogs wipes. (In NYC, we are most definitely a shoes off household!) It's my most-purchased product on Amazon." —Emily Burack, Senior News Editor
UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen, SPF 46
"I recently converted to Elta for my daily SPF needs and am never going back to my old sunscreen! I love this version—it's ultra-light, never leaves behind that dreaded SPF residue, and has just the slightest tint for those no-makeup days." —Leena Kim, Editor
Sculpt Tank Top
"I exercise first thing in the morning --my latest obsession is Orange Theory. These Lululemon tanks are my fave for just about any workout." —Erin Hobday, Execuitve Managing Editor
Clear 16 oz Tea Steeper
"I'm more of a tea girl than a coffee lover, and this convenient steeper makes it easy for me to make plenty of morning brew to get me going. You fill it like a traditional teapot, but instead of pouring from a spout, the loose leaf tea strains through the bottom—just set it on top of your mug for a quick refill, no bags required." —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor
Do Son Eau de Parfum
"I will never leave in the morning without a spritz of perfume. Diptyque's Do Son has been a recent fav of mine!" —Bennett Hill, Fashion Assistant
Corvo EKG Pro Electric Tea Kettle
"My morning always starts with turning on the kettle for coffee/tea. The Fellow Corvo heats up super fast and keeps water boiling for long as I carry on getting ready. The fact that its this sleek, too, is a bonus: it looks great on my kitchen countertop without it causing a scene." —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor
Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil
"This luscious hair oil has been a mainstay in my morning routine for over 10 years. One of my hair stylists introduced me to it and I have never looked back. After doing final touches on my hair, it seals the cuticle and keeps my 'do looking and feeling frizz-free and soft. And the scent? HEAVENLY." —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor
The Mat
"Last year I started religiously strength training three days a week with Future. Now that a regular workout is part of my routine, I've upgrade my mat, which is foldable, so I can have extra cushion for my sensitive joints should I need. I love the Stakt Mat, but particularly for how it can be stored away out of sight when I'm not using it."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director
Super Porridge / Multi-Serving Bag
"Over the past year I've worked with a dietitian to help improve my eating habits. One thing I've learned: a balanced breakfast is essential. I keep Kroma's porridge on hand because it's got everything you could want—protein, fiber, healthy fats!—and it's easy. I also bring the individually packaged servings with me on trips."—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director
Kiwami Single Cultivar Matcha
"It's my morning ritual to make a matcha latte, I can't start the day without one. Matchaful plus unsweetened vanilla almond milk is exactly how I like it." —MaryKate Boylan, Senior Fashion Editor
