What Maddy DeVita Can’t Live Without

I have sensitive skin and never change products. Whenever I try something new, I break out. This is the only skin-care product I’ll buy at Sephora, and I go through it quickly. It’s super hydrating, and unlike other nonprescription skin-care products, won’t make me break out. I’ve been using it for three years after my cousin turned me on to the brand. I’ve gone through about 20 tubs.

This is a face mask that I use as a hand cream. I hate, with a burning passion, the feeling of dry hands when going to bed. That sensation is so grating to me. I keep this mask next to my bed. I travel with it and use it on airplanes. I like how thick it is. I originally included it in a birthday present to my boyfriend, who, as a guy, didn’t have a skin-care kit, and then I ended up stealing it.

Besides dry hands, the second thing I hate most is harsh overhead lighting. The house I cook at in the Hamptons — a few other people work in it and they’re always turning on the overhead lamps, and I’m like, Stop, I just want to cook in natural light. In my own apartment, I’m super particular about lights and love having lots of lamps with these bulbs. Even in my bathroom, I have a little lamp. I use it instead of the blinding bright overhead bathroom lights, which are headache-inducing. I think soft lighting lowers my blood pressure and keeps me calm.

These are so soft and cooling, and they stay cool. I love getting into a cold bed. I think that’s a universal love. I visited a friend in L.A. and we stayed at her mom’s house, and her mom had these sheets on the bed. I was moving into a new apartment and buying a new king-size bed, so I texted her mom when I came back and said I need these sheets. I have two sets of them in plain white.

It’s the only apron I use out in the Hamptons, and I’m truly doing everything in it: going outside and grilling, back inside and working over high heat, wiping my hands on it, staining it with oil and blueberries. It washes out so nicely. Working eight- to ten-hour days, the cross-back design is so great for shoulder relief as opposed to something that goes around the neck. The pockets are nice and deep, and I shove so much random stuff in there — my wallet when I go grocery shopping, my sunglasses, my tool kit. I’ve loved White Bark aprons for years, then met founder Charlie Pennes, who made a Fork-branded apron for me.

I’m a massive fan of Big Night, and I have a lot of products from them. My most basic one is this. I always have a little bowl of salt on my table. This one is such a gorgeous little statement bowl. I grew up in a salt-loving household, and my mom always had a salt shaker on the table, but having a bowl is a little more elevated. I got this one about eight months ago. They’re also great for cheese or to hold fig jam or a piece of honeycomb on a charcuterie board.
