The Best Body Care Products for Summer.

In summer, there is no shortage of reasons to get outside.

But having fun in the sun can also wreak havoc on your skin. So, we're taking the guesswork out of what to use this season with a curated list of the most effective body care products for right now.

The assortment includes Olay's multi-tasking body wash, which hydrates skin and so much more, e.l.f. SKIN's SPF stick, which protects all over in one mess-free swipe and Voesh's heel balm, which relieves dry, cracked feet.

Scoop up the best body care the season has to offer below. And if you need new makeup, we've got you covered, too.

Between her career and raising her twin sons, Jamie Chung has no time for the "everything shower." Instead, the actress brightens, evens, firms, hydrates and smooths skin in just one step thanks to Olay’s latest body wash (left). “I feel like it’s a gentle reminder to take care of yourself, even if it’s just a quick refresh,” the actress, who recently appeared in a commercial for the brand, says of the multipurpose formula.

Seaweed Bath Co. Daily Lotion in Lime Papaya.

If applying body lotion in the summer feels more like an unpleasant chore than self-care, you just haven’t found the right formula. Seaweed Bath Co.’s vitamin-packed moisturizer drenches skin with lightweight but long-lasting hydration, and the lime-and-papaya scent makes you want to post up an OOO the minute you catch a whiff.

Voesh Solemate Heel Repair Balm in Lavender.

Feet often need extra TLC, especially during sandal season. That’s where this stick comes in. The waterless balm steps up your foot-care regimen with squalane plus a trio of oils (jojoba, macadamia and organic virgin olive) to moisturize soles and leave them unbelievably soft.

At the ACM Awards in Frisco, Texas, on May 8, no one was more radiant than Kelsea Ballerini, who stepped on the red carpet with an allover glow. Makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan Fisher achieved the singer’s sun-kissed complexion with Luna Bronze’s self-tanning mousse (left), and, for added dimension just beneath Ballerini’s collarbones, the pro applied a mix of the brand’s Cosmic Bronzing Drops ($33) with body moisturizer.

Glossier Sandstone Body Spritz; Maison Louis Marie Fleur de Vanille Hair and Body Mist.

Summer is the perfect time for a light-as-air scent. Enter: body mists, an early-aughts beauty fave that is having a major comeback. We can’t get enough of these aromas. Glossier's is an herbaceous blend of fig leaf, clary sage and sandalwood, while Maison Louis Marie's is a delicious mix of raspberry, vanilla blossom and cashmere musk.
