10 Best Beauty Products to Try During Quarantine

When Margaret Wolfe Hungerford coined the phrase ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ in her 1878 book “Molly Bawn,” she had to have been thinking about women because if there’s one thing women have a keen eye for, it’s beauty—whether it be within themselves or others.

On May 6, 70-year-old iconic fashion designer Vera Wang went viral on Instagram after posting a few skin-bearing photos of herself looking far younger than she actually is. And just earlier this week, mother of three Saida Ramirez sent users into a frenzy when she posted photos of herself in celebration of her 50^th birthday looking as young as her oldest daughter.

Genuinely stunned by Wang’s and Ramirez’s youthful glows, users and fans began to wonder what their secrets were. While Wang confessed that her secret to her ageless beauty was “work, sleep, a vodka cocktail [and] not much sun,” many women are still convinced that there is much more product-based self-care involved in her age-defying routine.
