I’ve grown to become quite the body care snob, but with good reason. Through testing out new products and taking care of my skin through a consistent body care routine, I feel like I’ve really honed in on some of the best body products for soft, smooth skin. Here are some of my favorites:
Skn Muse Body Oil

This is probably the most luxurious body oil I own and I believe everyone should try it for that reason. This Black woman-owned company is raising the bar for luxury body products with their line. The scent of this oil is soft and powdery and because of that, I prefer using it in the evening because it has a nighttime soothing effect. Its key ingredients are Egyptian Honey, Morrocan and Rosehip oils, and Vitamin E to even out skin tone and help retain moisture.
Skn Muse Body Butter

Skn Muse also sells a wonderful body butter in four different scents and made with shea and cocoa butter, coconut, rosehip, avocado, and vanilla. My favorite scent is the Madagascar vanilla. The body butter already gives your skin intense hydration but to dial it up a notch, pair it with the body oil and your skin will be GLOWING.
Skin Buttr Body Butter

If tropical or fruity scents are your vibe, you absolutely have to try Skin Buttr body butter. These are probably some of the best smelling body butters that I have. And of course, they leave your skin smooth and glistening with pro-longed use. It is pretty hard to get your hands on these butters because they sell out quickly, so I recommend signing up for email alerts and turning on post notifications on Instagram so you’ll be the first to know when there is a restock.
Indie Lee Coconut Citrus Body Scrub

I’ve tried many different scrubs, and this is by far my favorite one. The scent is refreshing–it errs more on the lemon side than on the coconut side in my opinion–the grains are not too big or too small, and the consistency is such that it leaves your skin hydrated with oils before you continue the rest of your skincare routine. I definitely think this scrub is a must-have.
Indie Lee Energize/De-Stress Body Wash

For stress relief or a kick start in the morning, I love this body wash. I’m big on aromatherapy, especially in the shower and this body wash works wonders for my skin but the scent also works to soothe my senses when I need it the most. The brand also sells body oils in matching scents that feel, smell, and work best when paired with the body wash.
Hanahana Beauty Body Butter

Hanahana beauty body butters do not disappoint. Made with shea, mango, and cocoa butters, the lightly whipped texture is easy to blend and hydrating on the skin. My favorite scent is amber vanilla, and I like to use that scent or lavender in the evenings because it is the perfect scent to put me to bed.
54 Thrones Luxury Body Oil

If you’re looking for a body oil that is a little more lightweight and less sweet smelling, 54 thrones has one for you. This oil feels more like a body serum which I appreciate on especially hot days when I want to glow but don’t want to feel weighed down by heavier oils
