Self-tanners, bronzers and body makeup have been around for a bit, but this new crop of over-achieving, active body skin care brings out the best.
Complexion Corrector
Tighten from the neck-down with Versed Firm Ground Retinol Body Lotion ($18) which blends encapsulated retinol, bakuchiol and squalane.
Body Brightener
Extend the practice of exfoliation to your neck and hands with the spot-reducing Aloisia Beauty GLOW Exfoliating Soft Peel ($60).
Age Defier
We’ve been using skin care on our hands to anti-age, but recently Touchland’s Glow Mist Rejuvenating Hand Sanitizer ($16) has filled the role.
Skin Illuminator
Apply Farmacy Honeymoon Glow Body ($40) before lotion and watch your dermis turn from dull to bright in seconds.
Smooth Operator
Part mist, part oil-serum, Dr. Tree Dear Loose Skin Body Serum Mist ($49) brightens, plumps and hydrates via Volufiline and a peptide blend.
Polish Perfecter
A KP, rough skin and ingrown-hair buster, the Soft Services Microcrystal Exfoliant Buffing Bar ($28) works like a magic eraser for bumpy, uneven texture.
Irritation Soother
The perfect harmony of actives and vitamins in the form of a butter, Josie Maran Intensive Daily Repair Body Butter ($46) relieves irritation and dryness to unleash smooth skin.
Bump Eraser
Bumps and texture stand no chance against Oui The People Cheat Sheet ($38), which is full of hard-hitting alpha- and betahydroxy acids to replenish and repair the skin barrier.
