I'm a Shopping Editor who uses my passion for hitting "add to cart" (and my 8+ years in media) to curate the best products on the web — I'm particularly passionate about finding the best beauty products, which probably stems from my days of working at Lush Cosmetics, where I learned about effective skincare ingredients while getting covered in bath bomb dust every day.

1. A Tree Hut Violet Victory Shea Sugar Scrub with shea butter and perfectly sized grains of sugar to slough away dead skin and leave you feeling smooth, silky, and moisturized. You can't go wrong with any of the scents, but a little birdy told me the Violet Victory scent reminds them of Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa 59 thanks to its summer-friendly blend of violet and vanilla orchid. 👀

Amazon

Promising reviews: "It is sooo amazing and such a cute design. It smells a lot like the Sol De Janeiro 59, which is a good thing." —Frances!!!!

"This was my first Tree Hut purchase and shortly after buying it, I fell in love. It leaves my skin feeling SO soft. It does not take long to work. I really love the Vanilla scent. I bought a Watermelon scent as a gift and the receiver loved it. TOTALLY RECOMMEND." —EmmaK

Get it from Amazon for $8.92+ (available in 20 scents).

2. The best-selling Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream — it not only smells like a caramel and pistachio vacation (pair it with the matching body mist to make the fragrance last even longer), but also can help tighten and firm the skin with repeated use thanks to the inclusion of caffeine-rich guarana extract. You're going to be the glowiest person on the beach!!! 

www.amazon.com

Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in five sizes and a refill tub).

3. A nail renewal formula to reverse any damage done by fungal infections, so it's essentially time travel in a bottle. The formula includes lactic acid, propylene glycol, and urea to help thicken, soothe, and reduce discoloration on your nails. Just apply twice a day for the first week, then once a day until your toes are looking good to go and 100% ready for sandals.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: “I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren’t too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application.” —WIAPilot 

Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (also available with nail files).

4. A pack of SweatBlock wipes, which might be the most aptly named product ever; they truly block sweat. They're super easy to use: dab the wipe on your underarms, let it dry for 3–5 minutes, let it sit overnight, then clean with soap and water in the morning. Once you do that, you'll be protected from excess sweat and odor for up to seven days. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Each box lasts two months!

Promising reviews: "This product is fantastic! I have hyperhidrosis so I have struggled to find effective treatments for my underarm sweating. With this product, As long as use as directed, making sure to go to bed after the 5 minutes drying period, the product is incredibly effective at minimizing underarm sweat. I did still need to use deodorant, but I can finally wear light colored shirts without fear of the dreaded giant pit stain. I am definitely happy I made this purchase.

Update: Months later and this is STILL my holy grail product. I have forgotten deodorant before and with this product you cannot tell the difference. I wish I knew about this product sooner. Really really changed my life for the better." —Kayla S 

"SweatBlock is awesome!! I traveled to Vegas for a five-day convention and did not sweat once in any of my jackets or gowns! I'd researched ways to preserve my clothes, and these Five-Star Ratings are well deserved! SweatBlock is now my holy grail of defense against perspiration. My only suggestion is don't dry shave and then apply. It will cause irritation!" —LindsK

Get a 10-count box from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of two or three boxes).

5. An aluminum-free deodorant from Each & Every— it's impressed reviewers who have been frustrated by all the other brands. It's formulated with tapioca starch instead of baking soda, making it safer for sensitive skin, and dead sea salt minerals to help neutralize body odor. How did we get by so many summers without this?

Amazon

Promising review: "The strongest natural deodorant I've tried. My whole household made the switch. Eldest son told me it lasts for a couple days, don't ask how he knows that. 😂 Coconut Lime is my favorite, the smell isn't overwhelming, nor does it clash with my body oils. Finally, no irritation under the arms, also! Very happy with Each & Every as we are recurring buyers." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in nine scents).

6. Veet's sensitive hair removal gel that's formulated with aloe, so it's perfect for anyone who typically deals with redness and irritation after hair removal. It's also meant to provide longer-lasting results when compared to traditional shaving and reduce the chance of ingrowns. Be prepared to pat yourself on your smooth, hairless back! 

www.amazon.com

It comes with a spatula for removing the cream! Just be sure to test a small area of your skin and make sure there are no adverse reactions for 24 hours. 

Promising review: "I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." —Crystal

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $18.94.

7. Philips Norelco OneBlade Intimate razor — it's specifically designed for shaving ~downstairs~ with no nicks or cuts, and it's also perfect for sensitive armpits. The secret is the special blade cover that cuts close enough to achieve a smooth look without cutting all the way down to the skin. It's 100% waterproof, so you can use it freely in the shower and quickly rinse it when you're done. You'll never go back to disposable razors again!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

See a TikTok review of the shaver here! For best results, the brand recommends stretching your skin with one hand, laying the blade flat, and then shaving against the grain. 

Promising review: "I tell everyone about this! No nicks, cuts, or razor bumps! The battery life is surprisingly long, too! I use this ALL over my body. Trust me when I tell you it saves you time and pain compared to a normal razor!! Seriously, never going back to a plastic one after this!" —Holly

Get it from Amazon for $29.96.

8. Megababe's Bidet Bar — based on the name, I think you can probably tell where this is meant to be used. 🍑 It's designed so you can safely use it on your bum, and it even includes a dose of shea butter, avocado oil, and glycerin to keep your skin soft and clean all summer long.

Amazon

This, like all intimate cleansers, should only be used externally.

Promising review: "This is the only soap I have found that does not irritate my privates! Finally! Well worth the money, and it will last me a while since I'm only using it for my private parts. I like that it comes in a bar." —Cat Lover

"Need to clean your butt?... Bidet bar to the rescue! Sure, I could just use two bars of the same kind of soap, and use one for my butt and one for the rest of me. But as I have hit middle age, some parts get more sensitive than others, so one wrong soap-related decision sends me to urgent care with an awkward itch, and then to the pharmacy for an even more awkward exchange at the counter. It's SO MUCH EASIER to just buy this soap for my butt and avoid the extra errands. Problem solved." —E. O'Toole

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

9. A butt mask, because the cheeks on your face aren't the only ones in need of some hydration. Just leave it on for 10–15 minutes and treat your peach to its aloe- and collagen-infused formula. It's also feel SO refreshing to let your buns breathe on a hot July day.

Amazon

These masks are designed to moisturize dry, dehydrated skin and leave it feeling plump and refreshed! It may also help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Promising review: "I love this! I put it on for about 10–15 minutes, and I can honestly say that I felt so much more hydrated, and I noticed some corrections in my skin tone. I’m going to buy more. I’m also very white, so you can see imperfections more easily if I’m not tan, and this helped a lot." —AM_Mama89

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.

Be sure to check out the full line of Bawdy butt masks!

10. And the Hey Sweet Cheeks Bottoms Up scrub, which uses charcoal and volcanic pumice to deeply exfoliate and sweep away dead skin cells all over your body (yep, even on your booty!). If razor bumps are a common concern, prepare for this to become a staple in your pre-shaving summer shower ritual.

Hey Sweet Cheeks

Promising review: "I’ve been using charcoal face masks for years, but this is the first time I’ve tried a charcoal body exfoliator. I’m so happy that I found this product. It works nicely on my sensitive skin and doesn’t irritate my skin at all. I’ve been using this to exfoliate different parts of my body in the shower. It’s got a creamy, gritty feeling to it when applying, along with a nice light scent. It stays damp on you while you wait to rinse it off, which is easy as can be. I’ve been using this on days that I do a hair mask since they both need to be left on for a period of time to work. Apply some lotion when you get out of the shower, and you’ll have soft and smooth skin." —P. Cohen

Get it from Amazon for $20.

11. And!!! A butt acne-clearing lotion with tea tree oil to help prevent breakouts, banish bacteria, and clear folliculitis. It is designed to be gentle on sensitive skin, and some reviewers feel it even helps with keratosis pilaris. This is basically a must if you tend to break out due to excess sweat this time of year.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve used this product for about two months now. I try to remember to apply at least twice a day. Not only is my skin clearer, but the overall texture is much smoother and softer. I highly recommend giving this lotion a try." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (also available in a two-pack and bundles).

12. A gross but oh-so-satisfying Baby Foot exfoliating foot mask to remove all the dead skin that's lurking on your feet. Simply slip the booties on and let the fruit acid and 17 types of natural extracts get to work for an hour while you kick back. Then the fun part begins: your dead skin will start to peel off within five to seven days, revealing super smooth feet. You'll be even more excited to slip on your go-to sandals.

@babyfootusa / Via www.instagram.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My feet used to be horribly dry, itchy, and cracked with thick calluses. I started using Baby Foot every couple of months a year ago, and my feet are now soft and smooth. Make sure to soak your feet before using and then again at least once a few days later. I leave the booties on for longer than the instructions, usually around two hours. It doesn’t burn or irritate my skin. A few days later, the top layer of skin starts peeling all over. It’s REALLY gross-looking, so make sure you don’t need to show your feet for about two weeks! The results are amazing, so it’s totally worth it! Calluses improve dramatically with one treatment but bad calluses may need a couple of treatments to go away. Make sure to wait at least two weeks before using again. I’ve recommended to all my friends and family. Seems to work for all skin types." —Mostly Maven

Get it from Amazon for $21.25.

13. A bottle of Burt's Bees sunburn lotion, which will save the day when you forget to apply SPF during one of the many beach trips you have planned for the next few months. The soothing blend of aloe and coconut oil will help calm your skin down in no time.

www.amazon.com

The two reviewer photos above were taken four days apart. 

Promising review: "I got a bit sunburned and didn't realize until I hopped into the shower and noticed how the water kind of stung. I was then a bit red in several places and applied this. The next day, the redness was a lot tamer, and my skin wasn't as sensitive. By day two, it was as if I was never sunburned and just tan! Now I put this on after I shower if I had spent some time in the sun just in case to help my skin stay hydrated and soothed." —Carrie

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

14. Dr. Teal's Epsom salt in a limited edition 🌺 Hawaiian Bliss 🌺 scent — your muscles will love it after a long day, and your nostrils will *adore* the summery scent of fresh papaya and hibiscus as your worries melt away.

Amazon

Read more about how an epsom salt soak or bath can help with muscle pain, soreness, and mental stress at Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "I love a good Epsom soak and have at least three varieties in my cabinet. I used it specifically as a foot soak rather than a bath. The scent did not disappoint and I didn't notice any sacrifice in quality, or any irritation, with the added scent. It was a nice way to mix things up!" —Sara Q.

Get it from Amazon for $5.87.

15. Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil body wash that can help tackle body and foot odor, and may even help clear up rashes thanks to tea tree oil's antibacterial properties. It's also packed with peppermint oil, which is the ultimate perk-you-up-in-the-morning scent when the coffee just isn't cutting it — and will feel super refreshing when the temps are in the 90s.

www.amazon.com

Read more about tea tree oil and how it can help with acne at Mayo Clinic.

Promising reviews: "I have been struggling with tinea versicolor for over a year now and have not found anything to soothe the itching/pain that comes with it other than this. I have only been using the body wash for about a week, and it’s made an enormous difference! I have tried prescription creams, medicated lotions, etc,. but I have never had results like this! Such good stuff. 10/10 recommend" —Blackburn's

"I wanted to wait to review after two weeks of use. I’ve noticed that my usual BO at the end of the day is now nonexistent. My back and chest acne have cleared up. I haven’t gotten any ingrown hairs or experienced any re-growth itching on my bikini line. This thing is magic in a bottle, and I wished I had found it sooner!" —xXSUXx

Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in four scents and in two-packs).

16. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars packed with tons of vitamin C and turmeric — aka the ultimate superhero ingredients for potentially brightening and reviving dull skin. Reviewers have had luck using this on both the face and body — but we recommend giving it a patch test first on a small area to see how your skin reacts. All good? Then start sudsing away!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So I initially started using another kojic acid soap to help with my hyperpigmentation due to shaving my face because I have PCOS and have developed hirsutism. I’m usually a 'full face of makeup at all times' kind of girl because of my insecurities, but this soap has given me a new confidence. I used it for the first time Saturday night and instantly saw the results of this soap. My skin looks so much more even." —Adrienne Jerkins

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in various pack sizes and bundles).

17. A tattoo aftercare salve to make your precious ink pop like it did when you first got it. Sun's out, tattoos out! The creamy formula includes almond oil to improve the tone and texture, as well as shea and cocoa butter to hydrate and add a subtle sheen. More than 13,000 reviewers swear by it, with many saying it absorbs super quickly and actually makes their tattoos look more vibrant. 

Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower is a huge fan of this salve: "I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. Thesoothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff!"

Promising review: "Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." —Janson Ward

Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank.

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in four scents).

18. Friday Mom's Bump + Belly In-Shower Lotion so you can treat your skin to hydrating shea butter and coconut oil without waiting for a greasy formula to absorb (honestly, that is the WORST feeling on a humid day). All you have to do is apply this in the shower while your skin is still wet, then rinse it off and marvel at your soft skin. Bonus: it's specially designed to nourish dry, itchy bellies during pregnancy!

Amazon

Promising review: "I started using this shower oil/cream as soon as I found out I was pregnant, and I cannot express this enough...RUN TO BUY THIS. I use it on my belly, hips, and breasts. It has left my skin feeling soft and smooth after each shower." –Alicia R.

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

19. A Lume acidified body wash that's designed to help control odor for a whopping 24 hours! That $3.75 shower gel you've been loyal to since high school simply can't do that. It's also formulated with mandelic acid to help brighten hyperpigmentation with continued use. And yes, it's safe to use on sensitive areas! Body odor hates to see this coming.

Amazon

Read more about how deodorants that turn skin acidic can help with odor from Mayo Clinic.

Promising review: "This body wash is a MUST for me. It really works. I don’t get musty or stinky when I sweat! Sad to say, but I was sick for three days and stayed fresh until the third day. I will keep buying Lume, because it works well to cut odor." —Shirmel

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six scents and also in two-packs).

20. An all-over anti-chafe balm if you're not actually about that hike life, but still let your super-active friends convince you to tag along. You can swipe this on your thighs, neck, armpits, or anywhere else that needs some extra protection from the friction that's threatening to ruin your serene afternoon.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This stuff really is awesome. It really works, and I don't know where it has been all my life. I started looking for something for thigh chafing after running into a few issues (not fun). It is super easy to use; just slide it on like you'd use deodorant." —SweetPea

BodyGlide is a small business that specializes in chafe-preventing personal care products.

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five sizes; also available in an anti-blister balm).

21. And a blister-preventing balm so you can finally wear those stylish but way-too-tight sandals you love without getting painful blisters. It's even infused with vitamins A and C to add some moisture to dry feet while keeping them protected.

Amazon

Promising review: "Miracle worker. This stuff is seriously magic. I glide it along problem areas on my feet AND the shoes, and I hardly ever get blisters anymore. Cannot recommend this enough!" —Alexandra 

Get it from Amazon for $9.

22. A pack of hypoallergenic body wipes for the blazing summer days when you need to skip the shower and take the lazy route instead. We've all been there. These are infused with aloe so your skin will feel refreshed, clean, and silky smooth!

Goodwipes

Promising review: "I bought these because I ride a bicycle and also work in an office, and if I have to run an errand at lunchtime, I'll get so sweaty.... ewww. The wipes are just big enough that one wipe can clean up your upper body, even stinky armpits, and leave you feeling fresh and surprisingly clean. The scent is also quite pleasant — not overwhelmingly lavender. It's nice that they're wrapped individually — I can just stick one in a pocket and run to the bathroom at the office, without carrying a whole bunch of stuff. It's discrete, and it also works really well. They don't leave behind any weird sticky residue." —JSRose

Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $12.99.

23. PanOxyl's Acne Banishing Body Spray so you can target those hard-to-reach areas with ease. The quick-drying formula features salicylic acid to help clear blemishes and unclog pores (this is what you came for), but also features vitamin C to brighten and witch hazel to soothe (this is what you'll stay for).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the acne-banishing body spray in action. 

Promising review: "This body spray has helped clear up stubborn back and shoulder breakouts better than anything I’ve tried. The 360-degree spray makes it super easy to apply, even to hard-to-reach spots. It dries quickly, doesn’t stain clothes, and has a clean finish. After a couple of weeks of consistent use, I saw smoother skin and fewer breakouts. It’s also lightweight and doesn’t feel sticky. Definitely recommend for anyone dealing with body acne." —Rosiemelisa

Get it from Amazon for $14.87.

24. Or The Ordinary's 7% glycolic acid toner if you're looking for a strong leave-on treatment. This has gone MEGA viral for its ability to promote even skin tone for both face and body — and your scalp as well! The glycolic acid can be swiped on once a day with no need to rinse. Some reviewers even note a reduction in B.O. after using it.  😯

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The brand recommends it for people who are experienced with chemical exfoliators, so if you're new, start with just a few times a week to see how your skin reacts.

Promising reviews: "I will always recommend this product. I had extreme hyperpigmentation in my armpits and textured skin on my face, and I am overall sweaty during the summer. My armpits are completely light and clear again, my T-zone on my face is smooth, and my skin tone is more even, and when I put this on sweaty spots the night before, it significantly reduces odor. Sorry for the TMI, but for the sweaty people, you need to try this!" —Anna

"I’ve been using this for about two months now, and I’m honestly so impressed. I started using it on my dark elbows, and it’s already helped smooth and lighten the area — they feel much softer and look way more even. I also use it occasionally on my scalp to help with dandruff, and it actually works! It gently exfoliates without irritation, and my scalp feels cleaner and less itchy. It tingles a little at first, but nothing harsh. For the price, it’s such a great multitasker to have in your routine." —Dara

Get it from Amazon for $9+ (available in two sizes and in packs of two).

25. A cuticle conditioner with a non-oily, serum-like formula that's way less messy than your traditional cuticle oil. Whyyyyy do cuticle oils take so long to absorb?! This one sinks in more like a lightweight lotion thanks to the moisturizing shea and cocoa butters that give it a creamy texture.  Oh, and it's not just for your cuticles; you can smooth this all over your nails to condition, strengthen, and add a fresh-from-the-salon shine. Your summer mani is about to ✨ sparkle ✨

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love the overall quality and the way it turned my overly dry skin around my finger nails to soft and healthy looking in just two applications. I saw results after first application but after the second one it was like I never had the issue. The size is adequate as you only need a small amount and very easy to apply. Once applied, it soaks in quickly and feels lightweight. The scent isn’t offensive or too strong." —Dmlyle

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and two packs).

26. A liquid foot soap designed for daily use, because I regret to inform you that your Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar shower gel simply isn't cutting it and it's time to call in the big dogs. This uses the antibacterial properties of tea tree oil to help banish odor-causing bacteria, and the epsom salt helps soothe tired skin that's been trapped in your sweaty socks all day.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "After a cabin trip with the girls, I noticed my feet were rougher than they had ever been. I'm talking discoloration and the hardest skin on my heels I've ever experienced.

I ordered this wash in an attempt to get my feet back to their normal selves. I am so happy I did! My feet started to look and feel better after a few days of use. They are slowly but surely getting back to their former glory lol. If you want a foot wash that works then look no further than this product. You will not be disappointed." —LaLaHappy

Get it from Amazon for $9.29 (also available in a two-pack).

27. And a deodorizer shoe spray made with peppermint and eucalyptus oils that's safe enough to spray directly on your feet so you can tackle those odors from the source. It's designed to dry super quickly, so you can spray it and put your shoes on right away.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Been using this for about a month. I run and go to the gym so there is lots of use of my sneakers five to six times a week. I remove the insoles and spray those, then spray inside the sneakers. I like the scent, kind of minty, and it kills any odors immediately." —Lisa S

Get it from Amazon for $14.95.

28. A bottle of Happy Nuts Comfort Cream — an aluminum-free lotion-to-powder formula that's designed to keep the ~downstairs area~ dry, comfy, and stank-free. If your... um ...🌎 globes 🌎 are susceptible to chafing in the summer, you might want to keep a few bottles in stock.

Happy Nuts, Amazon

The formula is aluminum-free, so it won't stop sweat, but the tapioca powder can help absorb it.

Promising review: "This stuff is 5–10 times better than regular powder! It instantly soothes irritation, deodorizes after a shower, and quiets the chafe after long sessions on the treadmill. I can't recommend it enough! Stop buying/using Gold Bond and other similar powders, and start using this. I'll be buying two more tubes in the near future." —Devin G.

Happy Nuts is a small business specializing in grooming products.

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in the original sandalwood zest scent or unscented, and packs of two and three).

29. Or Carpe's Groin Powder that's not only silky smooth but also absorbs sweat thanks to the corn starch base. While it's specifically designed to be safe to use on the groin, some reviewers have had success using it in skin folds and other sweaty areas. Oh, and the delightful white jasmine scent is a welcome bonus.

www.instagram.com

This isn't an antiperspirant, so it won't stop sweat, but it will soak up sweat to keep you dry and comfortable!

Promising review: "I have recently lost a lot of weight and have skin that hangs over in my belly area. I have tried several products to help with the sweating that occurs, which leads to abscesses on a monthly basis. I finally saw this product and decided to give it a try. I am truly amazed at how happy I am with the results! The lightly scented powder keeps me dry without caking, and I have not had the hint of an abscess since starting it. I love it! Thank you for coming up with such a great product!" —Tammy

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (also available in packs of two or three).

30. An exfoliating glove with immediate results you can actually see. Seriously, the dead skin just clumps up and rolls right off of your body. It's somehow satisfying and gross at the same time. The brand suggests using it every two weeks for the best results! If you use heavy-duty SPF every day, this will help scrub it off with ease.

www.amazon.com

Plus, removing all that excess dead skin can help with everything from preventing razor bumps and ingrown hairs before shaving, smoothing away bumps caused by Keratosis pilaris, and prepping your skin for the perfect streak-free self-tan.  

Promising review: "This exfoliating glove works really well in the shower, removing dead skin and leaving your skin feeling noticeably smooth and refreshed. It’s effective without being too harsh, making it great for regular use on different areas of the body. Overall, it’s an easy and affordable way to upgrade your skincare routine with real results." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

31. A Marlowe bar soap that doubles as an exfoliating body scrub to help speed up your ~everything shower~ routine. It lathers up into a creamy lather like you'd expect from a bar soap, but it's also packed with pumice and apricot seed powder to scrub away dead skin. 

Krista Torres / BuzzFeed, Marlowe

BuzzFeed contributor Krista Torres is a fan: "I was gifted this body scrub soap bar from Marlowe at an event recently. I didn’t think too much of it, just unwrapped it and put it in the shower when I got home. I didn’t say anything about it, and that night, my husband got in the shower and came out raving about this soap. I’m not kidding, he was so excited like, “WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SOAP?!!!” and could not get over the scrubbing beads, and how amazing his skin felt afterward. I’ve bought exfoliating bars of soap before, so I asked him why it was so great, and he said the beads scrubbed but weren’t super harsh where it hurt, and it kind of felt like a massage, lol. He also loved that the scent was fresh but not too overpowering or fruity. Now I’m super curious to try more from Marlowe, especially their Santal-scented line, which I’ve heard smells just like Le Labo (it’s that $200+ cult-favorite fragrance everyone’s obsessed with — IYKYK). At this point in my 30s, discovering an amazing soap is a huge win! They even have a Soap Discovery Set that looks really good, so I am definitely planning to try it next."

Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in four scents and various pack sizes).

32. The Inkey List's Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick, which honestly couldn't be simpler to use. Just rub this on your clean, dry skin and let the glycolic and salicylic acids gently exfoliate and soften bumps while the shea butter hydrates. No rinsing required — just swipe and go! 

Amazon

Promising review: "I’ve been using this body stick for a few weeks and I’m honestly impressed with the results. I have small bumps on the backs of my arms and a bit of uneven texture on my thighs, and the glycolic acid in this really helps smooth everything out. The stick format is super easy to apply — I just glide it on after a shower and let it dry for a minute. It doesn’t leave a sticky or greasy feeling at all. After consistent use, my skin looks clearer, feels softer, and those tiny bumps have definitely reduced. The size is great too; it’s compact but lasts longer than you’d think because you don’t need much each time. Definitely worth adding to a skincare routine if you deal with rough patches or texture." —Sean B.

Promising review: "I am a self-tanner junkie. I have tried every brand because I love a year round summer glow. Recently I have been switching up all my beauty products to non-toxic, paraben free and it has done wonders for my skin, but it was so hard to find a good self tanner, until this one! Beauty by Earth provides a very natural tan color and pleasant smell. There is none of that orange skin and awful smell. My husband always used to comment on how he hated my self-tanner and has not said a word since I got this one! I have been using this product since the summer and it made me seamlessly retain that glowing look. No one noticed a difference!" —Christinou
