Look Beauty’s Exfoliating Foot Mask is essentially a sheet mask for feet, in bootie form. Pop your feet into these for 20 minutes, and while you won’t see much of a difference right away, wait 10 days—and then prepare yourself. Dead skin will peel off in sheets, revealing fresh soft skin underneath.
If cellulite affects your legs (like it does for most of us), try a caffeine-packed formula to stimulate and smooth any lumps or bumps. We like this intense overnight serum: Vichy CelluDestock Flash Serum.
If this isn’t proof there’s a product for every part, we don’t know what is. Brazilian Bum Bum Cream by Sol de Janeiro contains antioxidants, caffeine, and coconut oil to soften, tighten, and lift your derrière. It also has the slightest shimmer for an extra imperfection-blurring effect.
Keeping your body summer-ready is already a hassle, and bikini-line ingrowns are enough to have us throwing in the towel and wearing jeans. Eliminate the problem entirely by swiping on Bliss Ingrown Eliminating Pads, which contains glycolic and other acids to keep follicles clear. Goodbye to bumps, redness, and embarrassment.
This oft-forgotten body part deserves a little pampering. Rodal Super-fit Boob Job is packed with skin-plumping hyaluronic acid, and will plump and smooth the bust and décolleté.
Those frustrating little bumps that pop up on the backs of the arms can be put in their place with some good old glycolic acid. Smoothing Exfoliating Body Lotion by Neostrata will reveal your smoothest skin yet. Just be sure to wear sunscreen while using this product—that baby skin is extra-sensitive to the sun.
Even hand cream aficionados will be shocked by how crazy-soft Julep’s Brilliance Glycolic Hand Scrub will leave their skin. Use the scrub before bed, and your nightly hand cream will do its best work.
Rodial’s Neck Maskis packed with amino acids, wheat proteins, and moisturizers; everything the neck needs to a firmer, more lifted appearance.
Summertime breakouts are the worst, but sometimes sweating under makeup and sunscreen, or lounging in swimwear can lead to breakouts that are not limited to the face. This tonic keeps breakouts at bay with 2% salicylic acid. Swipe a soaked cotton pad over trouble areas, and kiss your spots goodbye. This gem launches September 1st, and you can find it at Shoppers Drug Mart.
Keep lips soft and kissable by giving them a weekly scrub. This Sparkling Peach Lip Scrub by Sara Happ reminds us of juicy summer cocktails. It’s a treatment you’ll surely look forward to using.
