Skincare for your face is a no-brainer, but it’s not something that should stop once you reach the end of your neck. Afterall, skin is an organ, which means it needs water (ideally via a hydrating moisturizer) and to be cleaned regularly below the chin. Investing in oils, masks, scrubs, razors, deodorants and all those body care treatments is totally worth it — and so is learning how to use them to their full effect.
If you don’t like to tan or shave or get sudsy in the tub, no worries! Just focus on our recommendations that align with your lifestyle. But if it’s a product that goes below the neckline, you can bet we’ve found the top performers and listed them here for you to swoon over. We’ve got your limbs covered, just head right this way…

Kopari Beauty, koparibeauty.com, $14; shop now
Converting to non-toxic deodorant was one of our 2019 priorities. We don’t like chemicals, but we do like coconut, so Kopari was kind of the perfect fit. It’s slick, fresh-smelling, and way better for our bodies.

Josie Maran, sephora.com, $36; shop now
When you’re in the mood to treat yourself, pick up a pot of this, slather it on, and wait for the bliss. The milky vanilla scent smells like ice cream when you wear it throughout the day. Besides the tasty aroma, it’s also ulta-hydrating.
- Wild Rose Body Oil
-
Native Nectar Botanicals, nativenectarbotanicals.com, $42; shop now
This indie body oil was a suprising find, but it’s now a permanent fixture on our vanities. It put every other body oil we tested to shame for multiple reasons: the musky rose scent, soothing properties, quick absorbtion, and natural glow effect. It also helps refine bumpy skin on your arms, so this is kind of magic.

Joy, walmart.com, $9; shop now
Becoming a person that loves to shave because this Joy razor is legitimately that good, what about you? Obviously, this is a great price point for a whole razor pack, and the product itself has one of the sturdiest grips we’ve felt. Not to mention that Joy’s refreshingly playful messaging low-key makes shaving fun again.

Skintimate, walmart.com, $6; shop now
Nobody likes nicks and cuts, and luckily, we don’t even have to go there because this trusty shave gel has had our backs for like, years. It gives a close shave and lessens the skin irritation that usually comes with shaving.

Nair, walmart.com, $5; shop now
