BEST BODY LOTION
The body lotion for people who hate body lotion, Cetaphil Sheer Hydration Replenishing Body Lotion ($14) is so light it feels like a second skin, and keeps hydration locked in for 48 hours. Plus, it won’t irritate sensitive types.
BEST BODY LOTION SPRAY
Squalane-fueled Flamingo Light Hydrating Spray ($10) dispenses so evenly and quickly, you don’t even have to rub it in (hello, upper back). And just wait ‘til you smell it.
BEST CBD BODY LOTION
Our favorite accessory for a back rub at the end of a long day, Lord Jones High CBD Grapefruit Body Lotion ($40) offers a zesty citrus spin on the original cult-favorite moisturizer we all love.
BEST BODY SERUM
Apply Necessaire The Body Serum ($45) on damp skin post-shower and indulge in the silky, fast-absorbing hydration. If you think you have soft skin now, you’re in for quite a treat.
BEST BODY BUTTER
The perfect harmony of pure seed extracts and hydrating oils in the form of a whipped balm, MUTHA Body Butter ($95) slathers on extra thick, but instantly absorbs into skin like a dream.
BEST BODY OIL
Quick-absorbing, nongreasy and packed with collagen-supporting peptides, plant-derived squalane and jojoba oil, M-61 Hydraboost Body Oil ($44) keeps skin soft, firm and totally touchable.
BEST BODY LOTION FOR ROUGH SKIN
“Chicken skin” has no chance against U.K. export Ameliorate Transforming Body Lotion ($33), which is clinically proven to soften and moisturize rough patches with exfoliating lactic acid, urea and hydrating oils.
BEST BODY-FIRMING CREAM
Our top-ranked firming cream two years in a row, Revision Skincare BodiFirm ($260) gives crepey, sagging skin a youthful makeover with its iFirm peptide technology. Check out the brand’s before-and-afters if you don’t believe us.
BEST STRETCH MARK TREATMENT
The holy grail product for all-around better body skin, Bio-Oil Skincare Oil ($30) both supremely hydrates and goes to work on smoothing scars and stretch marks all in one step.
BEST ECZEMA TREATMENT
Rub Skinfix Eczema+ Targeted Body Balm ($24) on itchy, sandpaper-like skin for the soothing effects of colloidal oatmeal, sweet almond oil and zinc oxide, which proved to reduce symptoms of eczema in a derm-led clinical study.
BEST CELLULITE TREATMENT
We’ve tossed dozens of cellulite creams in the “doesn’t work” pile over the years, but Orlane Chronosvelt Daily Slimming Cream ($75) actually fights lumps and bumps when used consistently, and hydrates skin, too.
BEST DRY BRUSH
Create a pre-shower ritual with Daily Concepts Daily Detox Massage Brush ($18), which uses massaging nodules to increase blood flow, and dense boar bristles to polish and buff for visibly smoother skin.
BEST BODY SUNSCREEN SPRAY
To say we were impressed by Babo Botanicals Sheer Zinc Continuous Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 ($19) would be an understatement. It’s 12-percent zinc, it’s friendly to sensitive skin, and its near-translucent spray makes application so easy.
BEST BODY SUNSCREEN LOTION
Just when we thought it was impossible to find a high-zinc, fragrance-free lotion sunscreen that is so light it feels like nothing on skin, Bare Republic Mineral SPF 30 Gel-Lotion ($17) swooped us off our feet.
BEST SELF-TANNER
The blend of hydrating hyaluronic acid and aloe vera in Amanda Harrington Body Mousse ($50) gives our skin the most believable movie star glow. And if Jennifer Aniston can trust Harrington with her faux bronze, so can we.
BEST BODY BRONZER
When there’s no time to wait for tanning solution to develop, SOL by Jergens Tone Enhancing Body Bronzer ($15) adapts to each user’s skin tone for a radiant finish in seconds—and it washes off when you want it to.
