BEST BODY SCRUB
The modern-apothecary vibe, the perfect mix of fine sugar crystals with naturally derived jojoba oil, and the luxurious scents—Awaken is quite the crowd pleaser—make J.R. Watkins Sugar Body Polish ($15) a must-have shower staple.
BEST BODY WASH FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
There is so much sudsy goodness in Alba Botanica Very Emollient Hemp Seed Oil Body Wash’s ($13) skin-softening, hemp-fueled formula that the hardest choice is deciding whether to use it in the bath or shower (our vote is both).
BEST BATH SOAK
Like Vicks for the bath, C.O. Bigelow Herbal Comfort Soak ($24) fills the tub with herbal zing as it relaxes the body and well-appointed essential oils help ease aches and pains.
BEST BATH BOMB
Long days end and better nights of sleep start with the addictively fizzy, slow-release Bathorium Bath Snooze Bomb ($10), a lavender-infused, not-so-standard take on your typical soak.
BEST BATH SALTS
A post-workout and end-of-week essential, Kneipp Arnica Mineral Bath Salts ($20) continually wow us: the crystalline formation of each salt grain absorbs more aromatherapeutic oil than ordinary Epsom salt, and we can feel the difference.
BEST BATH OIL
The perfect before-bed prep, ESPA Restful Bath & Body Oil ($72) helps relax, unwind and does the almost-impossible task of letting our brains enter rest mode for a few minutes.
BEST BODY WASH
Certified-organic and biodegradable, Bathing Culture Mind and Body Wash ($20) smells so comforting—picture an outdoor shower in Redwood National Forest—that even our minds feel cleansed.
BEST BAR SOAP
Not the skin-stripping variety we knew as kids, triple-milled Beekman 1802 Pure Goat Milk Body Soap ($15) works up a creamy lather, deeply nourishing skin with lactic acid–infused, pH-friendly goat milk.
BEST RAZOR
The five-blade Venus Platinum Extra Smooth Razor ($11) hugs every nook and cranny with ease, leaving no hair left behind along the way for warm weather–ready skin.
BEST SHAVING CREAM
Thick, whipped and best-smelling—Coconut is our favorite scent—Whish Shave Cream ($16) utilizes extra-hydrating squalane, shea butter, jojoba seed oil, and organic green tea for a smooth shave with skin benefits.
BEST DEODORANT
Jennifer Garner called Beautycounter The Clean Deo ($28) “a natural deodorant that actually works,” and we couldn’t agree more. We also love the chic, refillable packaging and skin-conditioning ingredients that keep underarms happy.
BEST ANTIPERSPIRANT
Some of us require a bit more sweat protection, and Secret DERMA+ Invisible Gel ($8) delivers a dermatologist-approved, clinical level of it in a vitamin–infused formula that lasts up to 48 hours and doesn’t irritate skin.
