Not only am I deeply passionate about my facial skin care, but I also put a lot of effort into my body care. I used to not use really anything special, and would just keep a bottle of lotion to use occasionally. Whatever brand of products didn’t really matter to me. After my research within facial skincare products began, I quickly realized… If I take so much care of the skin on my face, why not throughout my entire body?
Don’t fret though, I don’t do anything fancy. I have just found, well, the absolute best body and personal care items that I really want you to know about and try for yourself!
1. Frank Body Coffee Scrub
Normally, I am someone who avoids a harsh scrub. When it comes to the body, though, it’s okay to use something a bit stronger. This Frank Body Scrub literally smells like a coffee shop in your shower. It is super messy…like goes everywhere. But man does it do the trick.
It’s packed with some awesome hydrating oils that leave your skin so soft. It also helps with scarring and stretch marks.
2. Raw Sugar Body Wash
My skin definitely becomes more dry when I use body washes with more fragrance and harsh sulfates. These Raw Sugar body washes are super gentle and lather great! They are cold pressed and plant based to ensure your body is soft and hydrated. This lemon sugar scent smells so fresh but sweet, it is my absolute favorite!
Buy it here for only $7!
3. Cremo Moisturizing Shave Cream
I get easily irritated skin and have to be very careful when shaving my legs. This shave cream has made a huge difference in the way my legs feel the day of and several days after shaving! It is a concentrated shaving cream, so you use much less. Lather this up under very hot water and then shave. Your skin will be so smooth! I have tried all too many shave hacks, and I threw away my Johnson’s baby oil for good.
4. Farmhouse Fresh Body Oil
These oils are seriously so indulgent. I have tried numerous body oils before and these are my fave. For the price, I think you definitely get your money’s worth. With grape seed and jojoba oils, your skin will be intensely moisturized after the shower. I especially love this for after shaving and I get no razor bumps or burn!
I will caution you that these oils are highly moisturizing and do not sink in super fast. If you are newer to trying body oils, it may take a minute to get used to. I promise it is worth it!
The vanilla Bourbon is my favorite scent. Purchase them here, and receive a ton of free samples too!
5. Truly Black Jelly Blemish Serum
I already am constantly trying to avoid breakouts on my face, but then a pimple will show up randomly on my body as well. It is skin too after all! I notice that during the warmer months this occurs more often. Or if I stay in my gym clothes too long, a few bumps my appear around my neck and chest. Back acne is also a very common skin condition that proves difficult to treat. Harsh body care can make the problem worse. This serum has made all the difference for me!
It has a lightweight consistency with black charcoal, witch hazel and tea tree oil. I use this also on areas prone to irritation from shaving. It lasts a long time too!

6. Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
I’m sure you have seen this or tried this lotion by now. Although you may think this stuff is overrated, I am here to assure you it’s not. I received the mini size of this with another purchase and became addicted. The scent is so warm and sweet, and the body cream sinks into the skin quickly. I also enjoy the new tropical scent of this product, Coco Cabana Cream . As far as the claims that it helps cellulite and firm skin, I will say this…
It has fantastic ingredients that absolutely can help support firmer, healthier skin. It may take a while to notice big changes, but in the mean time, your skin will be smooth and smelling oh so sweet!
6. Secret Essential Oils Deodorant
Look, I have tried many times to transfer to natural deodorant. Each time was marked with an incredibly uncomfortable rash. I typically can only use a certain type of deodorant for a few months, then I have to switch. My body chemistry decides it doesn’t like it anymore and will no longer stay fresh all day.
This deodorant is so moisturizing and smells very light and natural. There are real essential oils added and several scents to choose from! I have used 3 sticks of these in a row with no issues. Even through an intense workout, I smell like roses or sandalwood! I highly recommend to those of you who are in search of a more gentle, but not natural deodorant.
7. Bare Republic Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF
Not only do I preach the importance of SPF in your daily skincare, but also in your body care routine! This is a great mineral sunscreen that has such amazing, clean ingredients. I purchase the jumbo size and it lasts me all Spring and Summer long. It has a light, vanilla scent that I enjoy more than a typical Banana Boat scent. It is thicker and needs to be rubbed in a bit after you spray it on. Remember to always protect your body from harmful UV rays!
8. Fenty Lip Balm
I admit that I am obsessed with lip balm. I started to notice that some brands just work so much better than others. This Fenty balm can totally be worn as a gorgeous gloss on its own or on top of a lipstick! It has a very subtle, sweet scent that I also love. With shea and cocoa butter, your lips will be hydrated all day long. Typically, I like to use this as a lip mask before I go to sleep. I always wake up with a hydrated and plump pout!
10. Gucci Bloom Perfume
Lastly, I am nothing without my favorite signature scent. I have never been someone who frequently buys perfume. I normally ask for it for gifts! But once I find a scent I love, I can’t ever run out of it. After finally getting rid of all the useless body sprays that I couldn’t smell after 5 minutes, I graduated to a scent that lasts. This has a beautiful floral, feminine scent. And yes, I have this in the full size and the roller ball!
Be sure to comment below if you have or plan to check out any of these body care products! I always try to treat the skin on my body with as much care as the gentle skin on my face. Applying body lotion or oil every day has dramatically changed my skin, keeping it hydrated all year long.
