Women are faithful creatures when it comes to beauty products, standing by their favorite mascara and expressing eternal devotion to their lip gloss. But let's face it: that doesn't mean we aren't keeping an eye out for something better. We tested thousands of glosses, lotions, and scents--all in the search of the ones that aren't just great, but deserving of being called The Best. And the winners are...
Body Care
Body Scrub
Editors' Choice
The luxuriously thick Origins Incredible Spreadable Scrub in Ginger and in Sea Salt stuck to our skin until we'd buffed away every trace of roughness and didn't leave an oil slick behind.Readers' Choice
Avon Planet Spa African Shea Butter Brown Sugar Body Scrub
Bath & Body Works True Blue Spa There's the Rub Salt Scrub
Lotion
Editors' Choice
We tested lotions that cost nearly as much as a four-ply cashmere sweater. Johnson's Softlotion 24 Hour Moisture actually made our skin feel like one.
Readers' Choice
Bath & Body Works Pleasure Sweet Pea Body Lotion
Clinique Deep Comfort Body Butter
Origins A Perfect World Intensely Hydrating Body Cream with White Tea
Anti-Cellulite Cream
We admit we're skeptical of anti-cellulite creams. But Estée Lauder Body Performance Slim Shape Anit-Cellulite Visible Contouring Serum somehow kept our thighs smooth for hours--without the sticky tightness of its competitors.
Hand Cream
During testing we walked around for weeks with palms that felt dipped in Crisco. Only Aveda Hand Relief gave our overwashed and overworked hands a long drink of moisture with virtually no slickness.
Foot Cream
As one tester eloquently asked, "Why do all companies think that I want my feet to smell like peppermint?" We were head over our newly smooth heels for Barielle Total Foot Care Cream, with its superior richness--and soft floral fragrance.
Body Wash
Editors' Choice
Olay Complete Body Wash for Extra Dry Skin is like soap and body lotion in one. Our skin was notably less dry when we left the shower than when we stepped in, no matter how long and steamy it was.
Readers' Choice
Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash for Dry Skin
Philosophy Pumpkin Pie 3-in-1 Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash
Self-Tanner
Editors' Choice
We endured tangerine-colored limbs so you won't have to. Our unanimous verdict: Origins The Great Pretender Shimmery Self-Tanner for Body yields the least streaky, most natural-looking bronze.
Readers' Choice
Neutrogena Build-a-Tan Gradual Sunless Tanning
Clarins Self Tanning Milk with Sun Protection SPF 6
Sunscreen
We believe that a sunscreen must protect against UVB and UVA rays, as well as have an SPF of at least 30. But most blocks that meet those criteria are as white and tacky as Elmer's glue. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 30 smells and feels like a high-end moisturizer and is absorbed by the skin so completely that we feared we weren't applying enough.
