Sure it’s essential to have a great summer wardrobe, but every now and then you may want to shed down to your skivvies. Whether the weather outside is sunshine or rain, these eleven products will get you in the mood to stay behind closed doors. This is the season to feel beautiful in the skin you’re in. (Just don’t forget to pull down the shades!)
All Over: Ojon Tawaka "The Ball"
Every birthday suit needs a good ol’ scrub. Buff your bod with this antioxidant-rich, cleansing scrub treatment, and finish feeling velvety and oil-free. A rare blend of wildgrown Tawaka ingredients primes pores for treatment and stimulates circulation. Feeling fruity? The Ball’s formula contains as much anti-oxidants as 2,834 lbs of blueberries! Available at ojon.com or sephora.com. $65.
The Skin: DERMAdoctor “KP Duty”
Kick smoothness into high gear with DERMAdoctor’s KP Duty dry skin remedy. Formulated to fight keratosis pilaris (aka “chicken skin” on the upper arms, thighs, torso, and buttocks), KP Duty hydrates without leaving you feel greasy (like chicken). No prep work or feather-plucking required! Available at dermadoctor.com $36.
The Legs: Tarte “Glam Gams Leg Bronzing Stick”
Tarte Glam Gams Leg Bronzing Stick will get your stems looking taut and tanned all season long. Skip the beach’s UV rays and opt instead for Tarte’s t5 Super Fruit Complex, the ultimate blend of five uber-active superfruits: goji, acai, maracuja, acerola, and pomegranate. And you know what they say…nothing looks better against white Egyptian cotton than sexy, bronzed legs, right? Avilable at tartecosmetics.com. $30.
The Bikini Line: Bliss “Bikini Perfect Deluxe - Spa Edition”
Nab this deluxe at-home bikini kit and count your Bliss(ings), ladies. The Bliss/Philips Bikini Perfect Deluxe comes with six hassle-free attachments (precision trimmer, precision comb, epilator, micro shaver, micro trimmer, and eyebrow comb) to buzz away any unwanted hair “down there.” It also includes a 1 oz tube of Bliss Lemon & Sage Body Butter, Lemon & Sage Body Scrub, and five Bliss Ingrown Hair Eliminating Peeling Pads, for post-treatment relaxation. Available at blissworld.com $60.
The Cheeks: NARS “Blush/Bronzer Duo”
NARS’ Blush/Bronzer Duo kills two birds with one brush. Celebrate your cheekbones with the union of NARS' Orgasm Blush (subtly peachy-pink shimmer) and Laguna Bronzer (sheer light brown shimmer). Natural and effortlessly cool, these hues are ideal for staying locked away in the bedroom on balmy summer days. Available at sephora.com $37.
The Eyes: Clinique “All About Eyes”
Forget smoky lids and dramatic cat liner—feel irresistible with understated peepers. This light-weight, 100% fragrance free, cream/gel formula is a must-use for morning and night. Rub into eyelids and the lower eye area for firmer, brighter bedroom eyes. Available at clinique.com. $46.
The Lashes: Blinc “Kiss Me Mascara”
Unlike other oil-based mascaras (ew, sounds greasy), Blinc’s unique formula forms tiny “tubes” around individual lashes that will not smudge, run, clump, or flake—no matter how much real kissing goes on. Worried about the removal process? The tubes slide off with water! Available at blincinc.com. $25.
The Lips: Palmer’s “Cocoa Butter Formula Swivel Stick”
We're cuckoo for this cocoa-flavored swivel stick. Ideal for moisturizing dry, chapped lips, Palmer’s creamy Formula is utterly creamy, without feeling too thick. And it smells great too! Available at etbrowne.com or your local drugstore. $3.
The Hair: Frederic Fekkai “Glossing Shampoo”
Looking and feeling great naked starts in the shower. Lather your locks with Frederic Fekkai’s Glossing Shampoo to revive dull, lifeless hair. The wash is infused with natural olive oil extract that will leave you feeling fresh, like a Grecian goddess ripe off the vine. Available at fredericfekkai.com. $34.
The Teeth: GoSMILE “5 Senses Toothpaste Kit”
Each of the [five] tubes in this set of whitening aromatherapy toothpastes contains naturally hydrated silica that safely brushes away stains. Keep your fangs dazzling with GoSMILE’s essential oil formula and natural white cranberry extract. Set includes pastes in Mango Paradise Smile, Aloha Tropical Smile, Lemonade Smile, Ginger Cookie Smile, Peppermint Candy Smile, and a travel toothbrush (cute!). Available at gosmile.com. $25.
The Nails: Essie “Spaghetti Strap” Nail Polish
Slip those fabric straps off your shoulders, and lacquer up with Essie’s nail polish in “Spaghetti Strap.” A seamless combination of pink, beige, and shine, Spaghetti Strap will leave you feeling, well…seamless! Available at essieshop.com. $8.
