With the change of the seasons, I’m also switching up my moisturizer — from a Dieux product to, you guessed it, another Dieux product. On my dermatologist’s orders, of course (hi, Dr. Kim!). My beloved Dieux Instant Angel is too thick for my skin during the hotter months, so the gel consistency of the Air Angel is perfect to keep my dry and newly acne-prone skin hydrated and dewy. —Bianca Nieves, senior shopping editor
