Alchimie Forever, alchimie-forever.com, $49; shop now
This might be embarrassing to admit, but I am super horrible at body care. Doing my nightly 10-step skincare routine? No problem. But using a body scrub or bath soak? Literally the bane of my existence. As such, I’ve really owned a lotion that I truly love—I just gravitate toward whatever is floral, fruity, and prettily packaged. Recently, I tried out this lotion from Alchimie Forever, and my life is changed? This is the first ~adult~ body care product that I own, and it’s so powerful. It calms down the dry bumps on my arms and feels incredibly hydrating. I’m never going back after using this. – Gina

Nivea just came out with new body wash and the “Basil and White Tea” and it is the best smelling body wash I’ve ever used! It’s not too strong where it interacts with my shampoo which I love and it gets your skin really clean and leaves it suuuuuper soft. – Maddie

Versed, versedskin.com, $10; shop now
No joke, I take my lip skincare seriously. I mean, it’s no secret that the winter can be a super harsh time for everyone’s skin, including your lips. I’m always on the lookout for moisturizers that aren’t too sticky, have a great shine, and don’t leave that unflattering product build up after talking. This lip slip gloss with jojoba oil and vitamin E was the solution my lips have been searching for. It lasts all the way from the office, to spin class, and back home at the end of my day. – Aubree
