If last month felt like it was approximately 75 days long, April was over in the blink of an eye. That said, the month didn't go by too quickly for us to try new products in quarantine — and, in the process, discover the standouts that provided us with a daily dose of beauty self-care.

As we continue to practice safe distancing measures amidst a global pandemic, indulging in some mood-boosting beauty treats — like the editor-approved ones ahead — could be considered money well spent. From a complexion-calming serum to a radiant cream bronzer that's substituting our daily dose of vitamin D, here are the best beauty products our editors loved in April.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.
