Paula's Choice RESIST Retinol Skin-Smoothing Body Treatment

Retinol is typically used on the face and loved for reducing fine lines and evening out the skin tone, but there are also skin-strengthening benefits for the body.

"This body treatment uses retinol and a blend of antioxidants to help strengthen and transform skin."

Dry brushing has long been used to help skin look its best, but Elemis takes the practice to a whole new level thanks to the inclusion of their Targeted Toning Body Moisturiser. The brush helps to remove dead skin, and the cream helps to reduce the appearance of pesky cellulite dimpling.

Alastin TransForm Body Treatment

Augustinus Bader The Body Cream

This spendy Body Cream is worth it for its nutrient-packed formula. "It contains a complex of natural amino acids, medical-grade vitamins and synthesized molecules naturally found in skin, which guides key nutrients and powerful natural ingredients to cells, creating an optimal environment for regeneration," explains Dr. Engelman. "Bisabolol and shea butter, which are rich in vitamins A and E, soothes the skin so it feels smoother and softer."
