Skin Care Sticks Are Everywhere — These Are The Best Natural Ones

Formerly reserved for makeup and color, beauty sticks are now a trending part of skin care: toners, treatments, and, yes, cleansers. The chief benefit of putting skin care in a stick is its ease and portability, but there are also some formulaic advantages to using a stick versus a serum, gel, or lotion. For one, they typically include more nourishing oils and butters and therefore tend to have a lasting protective effect on the skin. Toner and water sticks last longer than a spritz of hydrosol alone, and face-oil sticks provide the lightness of an oil with the non-sticky emollience of a beauty balm. Whether you're packing a gym bag, for a weekend away, or simply want a change of pace, there's a skin care stick just for you. watch videos

Cocokind Turmeric Spot Treatment

Cocokind may be the OG purveyor the skin care sticks, and this turmeric one never fails to deliver. Made of five ingredients total (!)—sunflower oil, beeswax, turmeric, ginger root, and tea tree oil; all are organic—this stick of golden goodness treats active blemishes, hyperpigmentation, and scarring. Our favorite way to use it is to apply it underneath Cocokind's chlorophyll mask. Don't fear the strong hue, either—our skin always emerges looking like angels stopped to sing there.

Ilia Beauty Cucumber Water Stick

A perfect companion for hikes, music festivals, or any hot and sticky situation, Ilia's cucumber water stick is cooling, calming, and de-stresses the skin. It's technically a toner, but think of it as part toner, part primer. It absorbs but not all the way, and leaves the skin feeling hydrated, de-puffed, and replenished. Pro tip: Leave it in the fridge and apply to inner wrists and inner ankles for an instant cool-down.
