NuFace Trinity Facial Toning #1Device Chioma Nnadi, Editor, \" I’ve always taken a less-is-more approach to my beauty regimen. And now I’m beginning to whittle down my routine even further. These days my skin tends to respond best to facial oils. I use one by Lumity to lock in moisture. I like that it contains rich macadamia oil and manuka too.\"

2 Tatcha Rice Wash 3 Skin-Softening Cleanser I still remember the first time I used this cleanser: The rich, creamy texture and intoxicating smell had me immediately hooked. With a sensitive-skin safe formula, Tatcha is a savior for us combination-skin folks. Being one, I use this cleanser year- round.

This delicious oil cleanser is one of my favorite smells on the planet. The skin-feel is also perfect: not too greasy and not too thin. It emulsifies into a light, milky texture when you add water and removes makeup after one cleanse. Plus, I love the value: A little goes a long way, and this cleanser smells, feels, and works like a luxury product for a relatively affordable price.\"- Madeline Hirsch, senior news editor 4 Dr. Barbara Sturm Facial Scrub I’m a Dr. Barbara Sturm devotee: I use all her products on a consistent rotation (they’re pricey but I stand behind them 100%). This scrub is perhaps one of the most gentle, effective, lovely physical exfoliator I’ve ever had the pleasure of applying. It removes dry, flaky skin and promotes cell renewal courtesy of vitamin E, purslane, and horse chestnut

5 La Prairie Skin Caviar Nighttime Oil 6Hyper Skin Brightening Dark Spot Vitamin C Serum I found my soulmate in La There are certain skincare categories with an Prairie's Skin Caviar overwhelming number of options, and vitamin C is among Nighttime Oil.

i-D 5 new musicians to get you through early 2022

Take Me To The Roof Bekah CC Bone Soda know good music. Whether they’re throwing the ultimate fashion week event, making alien bongs endorsed by Beabadoobee or hosting that PinkPantheress after party, they can be relied on to show you a seriously good time. It’ll come as no surprise then, to hear that the London label’s latest release — an EP by Shutesbury, Massachusetts-born musician and painter Bekah CC called Summer’s Over – is awesome. The highlight? “Take Me To The Roof”, on which her soft laidback flow contrasts with Brodinsky’s dark production. The video sees Bekah channel Christina Ricci in Buffalo 66 with what she describes as feeling like “a sequence of memories” that also references a self-portrait by her favourite photographer, Francesca Woodman.

underscores Gunk Who doesn’t like Midwestern emo? Are we not collectively basking in the pop-punk revival? And surely we’ve all, at some point in the past year, indulged in hyperpop? If you, too, sit at the centre of that glorious venn diagram you’ll love Underscores. The innovative young San Francisco artist also known as Devon Karpf really can do it all. In 2021, they released two albums, fishmonger and boneyard aka fearmonger, both chaotic adventures (with bonus Travis Barker drums) that dance through genres in a style befitting of their “new wave of the future” tagline. With their nostalgic, playful sound and a whole lot of talent, Underscores has built up a cult following of fans — including Phoebe Bridgers and 100 gecs — since their early days with soundcloud collective six impala. New Yorkers can catch them live at Baby’s All Right next week.

Tweakin AntsLive North London rapper AntsLive just levelled up with the release of his new single “TWEAKIN” and it's very aesthetic video, shot by one of i-D’s favourite young photographers, Tom Emmerson. In it, we join the 22-year-old as he drives down the westway, performs on London rooftops and rides his bike through the park with his mates. It’s a cinematic love letter to his city and a brilliant re-introduction to Ants, who has put out a handful of tracks in recent years (earning love from NTS and NoSignal) but nothing quite like this.

Nemahsis paper thin Canadian musician Nemahsis is not your token hijabi girl. And that’s exactly what she told a major beauty brand she was shooting a campaign for when they commented that while they weren’t going to pay her, it would be “a good look” for her community. They went ahead and used the images without her permission. It’s what prompted the Toronto-based artist — and modest fashion icon on TikTok, where she has over half-a-million followers — to write her debut single, “what if i took it off for you?” last year. Her follow up, “paper thin”, hits just as deep. Diaristic and drenched in emotion, Nemah’s compositions reveal the insecurities she felt growing up and has since overcome. And if this teaser of her forthcoming single “dollar signs” is anything to go by, there’s a lot more greatness where that came from.

BAT HOUSE DoFlame This is one for people who still worship at the altar of the early Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtracks. 18-year-old Mateo Naranjo from Canada makes nu- metal-adjacent music as DoFlame. Coming up through the Brampton, Ontario hardcore scene and inspired by the likes of Suicidal Tendencies as well as old school hip- hop, Mateo started releasing music just last year. He and the rest of the OFFLEASH crew — including DEAR- GOD, who features on his debut single “Bat House” — appear to be the raging young heart of the city. With his lyrics (“think big, go hard” as the aforementioned single demands), DoFlame hopes to inspire other kids his age to speak up, get motivated and chase what excites them.
