NewBeauty Awards: Body Essentials

THE BEST BODY WASH

It almost doesn’t make sense how much Own Beauty Body Wash ($7.50) you get for the price. The luxe formula features good-for-your-skin botanicals and comes in four scents that can make any bathroom feel like a spa.

THE BEST BODY SCRUB

Use Nécessaire The Body Exfoliator twice a week to reap the double-exfoliation—alpha and beta hydroxy acids plus charcoal and pumice—benefits. One tester said it gave her “the softest skin she’s ever had.”

THE BEST BATH SOAK

The label doesn’t guarantee eight hours of deep sleep, but the unique Indie Lee Sleep Soak ($42)—loaded with lavender and Moroccan chamomile— helps to deliver it every time.

THE BEST SUNSCREEN LOTION

The world is officially out of excuses for not liking a sunscreen’s texture thanks to Bare Republic Mineral SPF 30 Gel Lotion ($17), the most invisible, sheer, feel-good SPF of the season.

THE BEST SUNSCREEN SPRAY

COOLA is known for its commitment to plant-sourced protection, but the brand outdid itself with its new Classic Body Organic Sunscreen SPF 70–Peach Blossom ($25), a high SPF that wears like a dream.

THE BEST DEODORANT

Developed by a mother-daughter duo, natural Nala Free-From Deodorant ($26) is designed to be worn at night—a twist on the standard don’t-sweat routine that magically works and smells pretty amazing in the process.

THE BEST ANTIPERSPIRANT

Unlike any other we tested in its category, Secret with Essential Oils Antiperspirant ($12) smells more natural, glides on smoother and doesn’t leave any white residue on clothes. Did we mention it fights sweat for 48 hours, too?

THE BEST SHAVE CREAM

Made with nourishing shea butter and manuka honey, and without potential irritants like dyes and sulfates, PURE Shave Cream by Gillette Venus ($6) makes routine shaves feel (and smell) a lot more enjoyable.

THE BEST RAZOR

As chic as it is functional, the five-blade Flamingo Razor ($9) is expertly engineered to hug every curve and grab every hair for your smoothest, most stubble-free skin yet.

THE BEST COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENT

Mix one scoop of flavorless NeoCell Collagen Protein Peptides ($25) into your morning coffee, tea or smoothie for a daily dose of grass-fed collagen that is clinically proven to improve skin, hair and nails.

THE BEST SLEEP SUPPLEMENT

When after-dinner sugar cravings roll around, reach for OLLY Extra Strength Sleep ($16) gummies instead. Not only do they taste like fruit snacks, but they also contain 5 milligrams of melatonin to help you doze off.

THE BEST PROBIOTIC SUPPLEMENT

Many probiotic supplements can’t withstand the body’s digestive process, but Youtheory Spore Probiotic Capsules ($19) resist stomach acid breakdown, allowing them to replenish the body’s microflora effectively.
