Winner: Best overall cuticle oil

This popular nail oil is a Shop TODAY editor favorite (not to mention a Beauty Award-winner!) and one little bottle lasts all season. Brach says she uses it each night to maintain healthy nails and cuticles, adding that it's a perfect complement to your hand cream. It's garnered over 125,000 ratings on Amazon and is under $10 right now.

We all know by now that retinol is an effective, dermatologist-approved ingredient for anti-aging, but it can be tough to figure out how much to use. That's why we like these capsules, which come pre-measured in single doses that are so easy to travel with and offer a one-step skin care superhero. It's around $50 for a month's worth of capsules — that's less than $2 per day!

With over 20,000 ratings, this moisturizing shave oil is a fan favorite for its warm vanilla scent and silky texture. It has a unique gel-to-oil formula that hydrates and provides a smooth glide for a close shave. Plus, it's formulated with colloidal gold, which the brand claims helps to plump skin and improve elasticity. And it's not just a favorite among women — Brach says even her brother-in-law with sensitive skin uses it as a shave cream and loves it.

Dermatologists previously told us the cool fall air and product build-up can lead to dry, itchy scalps and clogged hair pores, which can even stunt hair growth. That's why we like an exfoliating scalp scrub like this one from Nexxus. The brand says it can be used before or in place of your shampoo to remove impurities while strengthening your strands, thanks to elastin protein infusion in the formula.

"Reviewers say a little goes a long way — one tub lasts about six months, depending on how often you use it," Brach notes. "Dermatologists say you should only wash your hair two to three times per week, so this is the perfect product to add to your routine once a week."

With over 15,000 ratings on Amazon, the internet is loving this unique gel-cream blush. It comes in a few shades and lends a natural flushed, dewy appearance wherever you apply. Brach says she simply applies it with her fingers for an easy "no-makeup-makeup" look.

Brach says airbrush foundation is what pro makeup artists use for celebrity red carpet appearances and weddings, but you can get the look at home for under $30. This kit comes with both a buffing brush and the ultra-fine mist foundation, which the brand says helps soften the look of fine lines, wrinkles and rough texture to give the look of airbrushed skin.

"It's so easy to apply — just give it a shake, spray it onto the brush from three inches away, and buff onto the skin," Brach advises. "It's lightweight, buildable coverage, so you can go as sheer and light or as heavy as you want."

This trusty mascara has been a bestseller for years, but it's not only the classic black formula that's been popular lately. We're seeing fall tones like brown and even burgundy on the rise for their ability to make your eye color pop. At under $10, this bestseller is a great way to experiment with the trend.

Winner: Best budget shampoo for dandruff and dry scalp

Another Beauty Award winner we reach for come fall is this anti-dandruff shampoo, which reviewers call a "miracle worker" for clearing flakes, itchiness and dryness. These common conditions can flare up when the cooler months roll around, but this shampoo targets the leading cause of dandruff to treat the problem at its root, dermatologists told us.

Brach says this new exfoliating sponge launch from Goshi will "put your loofah to shame." According to the brand, it is woven with super durable exfoliating threads that scrub away dirt, oil and dead skin cells. At the same time, it lathers nicely and actually airs out after being squeezed dry (versus who knows what is living in a loofah!).

Currently climbing the ranks of Amazon's bestsellers list in the beauty category: this popular collagen, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid mask — which is ultra hydrating. The two-piece sheet mask works its magic in three to four hours or overnight, per the brand, turning transparent as the active ingredients soak into the skin. This set contains four treatments.

Brach loves this stuff, saying it's like your go-to lip balm, "but one hundred times better." No only is it a nourishing formula that moisturizes, but it also acts as a plumper, giving the appearance of fuller lips and softened fine lines.

For a boost of hydration after you step out of the bath or shower, reach for this body oil. It thoroughly impressed our editors with its luxurious texture and moisturizing capabilities and has become a mainstay in many of our routines.

When the temperatures start to drop, there's nothing worse than leaving the house with wet hair. Thankfully, this hair dryer can dry, diffuse and smooth your hair all in one device, at record speed. The brand has impressed many Shop TODAY editors for its versatile beauty tools, and the SpeedStyle — which is currently on sale — is no exception.
