Skin care doesn’t stop at the neck. These hard-working hydrators, exfoliators, and oils will make every inch of your body feel cherished.

Body care has never been chicer. Once a category defined by utilitarian formulas and drugstore staples, it’s undergone a serious glow-up—now brimming with products that turn your bathroom into a spa-like retreat. Think: sleek bar soaps, luxurious body washes, and so much more.

Here, InStyle editors—alongside two top dermatologists and a celebrity facialist—have curated the 16 best body-care products that are as indulgent as they are effective.

"This is a device that uses magnetic muscle stimulation to strengthen the core and improve muscle tone. It's a popular treatment in our office and something that picks up this time of year." —Dhaval Bhanusali, MD, board-certified dermatologist

"I'm a fan of concentrates for dish soap, laundry detergent, and hand soap, but body wash? I'm intrigued. A dime-sized amount lathers up to wash my whole body and smells citrusy and fresh. The plastic-free, recyclable tube is ideal for tossing in a gym bag or a carry-on." —Shannon Bauer, associate editorial director

"Not to brag, but I constantly get compliments on how smooth and even my skin is. Aside from genetics, I attribute my glowy, even look to this luxurious body wash. A sensitive-skin friendly option, it thoroughly cleanses while nourishing the body with skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin E, and C." —Essence Wiley, commerce writer

"I've used this bar soap for as long as I can remember, so much so that I don't feel as clean when I don't use it. It washes the chaos of my busy New York City days away gently but thoroughly. I have sensitive skin and the suds never feel irritating or drying on my skin." —E.W.

"Any self-tanner knows that exfoliating is the most painful part of the grueling and lengthy process. This cute blue bar scrubs away old tan faster than anything I’ve used, simultaneously hydrating your body so you don’t emerge from the shower with totally stripped skin. Its fragrance-free formula doesn’t compete with your other scents either, allowing me to use it daily." —Irene Richardson, commerce writer

“I’ll admit I’m not the most disciplined when it comes to post-shower moisturization—I need a little motivation to lather up. Luckily, this creamy lotion from Salt + Stone delivers just that. Between the earthy scent lineup (Santal & Vetiver, Bergamot & Hinoki...) and the lightweight, melts-right-in formula that never feels sticky, I’m actually reaching for it. The real clincher? My skin stays noticeably softer and smoother for hours after.” —Lauren Valenti, beauty director

"If I had to describe my skin, I'd say it's like a reptile with an incredible skin-care routine. Thick and luscious body butters are what keep my reptilian skin soft and smooth. This one from Fenty Skin blends seven glorious oils—kalahari melon, sorrel, baobab, sunflower, rice bran, coconut, and jojoba—with shea butter and glycerin to deliver otherworldly moisturization." —Kara Jillian Brown, beauty editor

"If glistening, summery skin is what you seek, look no further than this luxurious, nutritive body oil. A dime-sized drop drenches my limbs and torso in suppleness-inducing ingredients. The scent is earthy and alluring, and somehow reminiscent of an expensive yoga studio." —Sophie Writ, commerce writer

"I have been using this for years, any and every part of my hair and body. It smells natural and fresh and makes everything soft." —Tamim Alnuweiri, senior beauty writer

"We don't care for our underarms nearly as well as we do the rest of our skin. With the main objective of armpit skin care being 'smell less,' we neglect the area's need for care. This deodorant soothes and hydrates while absorbing moisture and neutralizing odor. It's available in five scents, so you can find the one that best fits your fragrance wardrobe." —K.J.B.

"When I want a quick and seamless deodorant application, I reach for this handy spray. It dries down fast, blocks odor from all angles, and smells fresh and clean. You'll usually find it stashed in my gym bag or carry-all work tote." —Ruby McAuliffe, associate commerce editor

“We’re living in the era of tech neck—those horizontal lines that develop from constantly looking down at our screens. This targeted red light mask is designed specifically to address neck and chest wrinkles while helping to plump and rejuvenate the skin. It also comes with a second, longer strap, allowing it to be used on other areas like the lower chest, back, and stomach for versatile, full-body treatment, making the investment even more worth it.” —Naeha Gupta, DO, board-certified dermatologist

"The neck and décolletage often show signs of aging faster than the face, thanks to thinner, more delicate skin and increased sun exposure. Another reason? They’re often left out of daily skincare routines. Nectifirm is a twice-daily cream formulated to firm and smooth the neck and chest when applied with gentle upward strokes. Just one to two pumps are enough to cover the entire area. Think: A snatched jawline—no contour stick needed—with consistent use over time." —N.G.

"St. Tropez was among the first self-tanners of the zillions I've tried, and remains my mainstay after years of experimentation. The lightweight mousse glides seamlessly onto skin, sans streaking, and develops into a believably beachy glow within one hour." —S.W.

"Reapplying sunscreen is equal parts necessary and annoying. However, applying the Sunglaze SPF from Kopari makes the experience enjoyable. It spritzes on with ease, leaving behind a gorgeous guava scent and golden shimmer so you can fake a sun-kissed glow." —K.J.B.

"I have a love-hate relationship with mineral sunscreens. I love that they reflect the sun's rays, but I hate that they leave behind a white cast. Minerals are naturally white, so while a cast makes sense, it's not at all desirable. This formula found a way to make a mineral sunscreen that rubs in beautifully. It's my go-to for beach days when I'm spending hours in the sun." —K.J.B.
