Best Ulta Body Care for Soft, Smooth Skin: Body Washes, Scrubs, Lotions & Self-Tanners for Moms
22
items Body care is where cheap often beats the splurge. Tree Hut sugar scrub, AmLactin, CeraVe SA cream and First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser handle rough, bumpy skin, Sol de Janeiro and Kopari bring the luxe feel, and St. Tropez or TAN-LUXE cover the self-t...
My son inherited my keratosis pilaris, so we both use this on our upper arms twice a week and the little red bumps have visibly calmed down in about a month. It's pricier than a drugstore scrub, but it is genuinely the only one that has made a differ...
Tree Hut Coco Colada Shea Sugar Scrub
Between two dogs shedding on my legs and dry winter heat, my knees and shins get rough fast, and this cream buffs that away better than anything I've tried from the drugstore before. A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts our whole family most o...
First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub
Between two dogs shedding on my legs and dry winter heat, my knees and shins get rough fast, and this cream buffs that away better than anything I've tried from the drugstore before. A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts our whole family most o...
CeraVe SA Cream for Rough & Bumpy Skin
After my dermatologist mentioned my forearms looked like sandpaper, I started using this nightly and within two weeks my skin actually looked smooth in a tank top for the first time in years. It smells clean, not medicinal, which matters when you're ...
AmLactin Daily Nourish Lotion with 12% Lactic Acid
This one lives on my nightstand for the nights my regular lotion isn't cutting it, since the whipped texture melts in fast without leaving my sheets greasy. It's gentler than the classic AHA lotion, so it's what I reach for when my skin feels extra s...
AmLactin Calm and Renew AHA Body Butter Cream
Nothing makes me feel like I have my life together faster than this cream, even on days I haven't showered before noon. The caffeine tightening effect is subtle, not magic, but the scent alone is worth it when I'm rushing between school pickup and di...
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
Our whole bathroom smells like a spa the second I open this jar, and it's thick enough that one coat after a shower carries me through a dry winter day without reapplying halfway through. My husband has started stealing it for his hands, which tells ...
Kopari Ultra Restore Body Butter
Since it's fragrance-free and gentle, this is the body lotion I trust on my son's eczema-prone patches as well as my own dry elbows, so I'm not juggling three different bottles in the shower caddy. It absorbs fast enough that nobody complains about w...
Naturium Bio-Lipid Restoring Body Lotion
When my arms started looking a little crepey after having my son, this cream was the first thing that actually made a visible difference within a few weeks of nightly use. It's an investment, but I only need a pea-sized amount so one tube has lasted ...
StriVectin Crepe Control Tightening Body Cream
If I'm being honest, this is the body wash I buy on autopilot because it's affordable, smells clean without being overpowering, and never leaves my skin feeling tight after a hot shower. It's the one I don't mind my son using too, so I only have to k...
California Naturals Classic Clean Body Wash
The Santal Bloom scent on this body wash gets more compliments than anything else in my shower, and the little serum boost leaves my skin soft even without a lotion layer after. I save it for the mornings I actually have five extra minutes to enjoy t...
Saltair Santal Bloom Serum Infused Body Wash
On busy weeknights when I'm showering after my son is finally down, this oil-infused wash is the treat I give myself, since the subtle shimmer makes even a five-minute rinse feel a little glamorous. It rinses clean without clogging the tub, which I w...
Saltair Oil-Infused Nourishing Body Wash
Every summer before pool season I do one layer of this the night before a big event and wake up with a natural-looking glow instead of the orange ankles I used to get from drugstore self-tanners years ago. It's a splurge, but a bottle stretches acros...
Loving Tan 2 HR Express Self-Tanning Mousse
For a quicker glow between the deeper Loving Tan sessions, I keep this mousse in the shower caddy because it develops fast and doesn't leave streaks on my hands even when I'm rushing before a school event. It smells far less like fake tanner than mos...
St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Mousse
Unlike mousse tanners that stain my white towels, this water-based formula soaks in clean and gives my legs just enough color that I feel confident in shorts without looking like I tried too hard. It layers well under lotion if I want a deeper glow b...
TAN-LUXE Express Water Self-Tan
A couple drops of this mixed into my regular body lotion is how I fake a healthy glow through the gray winter months without committing to a full self-tanner routine every week. It's subtle enough that coworkers just think I've been getting outside m...
ULTA Beauty Collection Gradual Self Tan Drops
We started using this after my husband complained the drugstore body wash was drying out his skin too, and now it's the only bottle in our shower since it lathers gently without stripping either of us. It smells clean and grown-up, not like a candle ...
Necessaire The Body Wash
Once a week I swap my regular scrub for this one, and it's the only exfoliator that has kept the rough patches on the backs of my arms from creeping back between uses. It feels like a spa treatment, not a chemistry set, which is rare for something th...
Necessaire The Body Exfoliator
After having my son, my stretch marks finally started looking less angry once I added this lotion into my nightly routine, since the peptides seem to actually firm as they hydrate instead of just sitting on top of my skin. It's lightweight and never ...
Necessaire The Body Lotion
Crepey, dry skin on my thighs is my nemesis no matter what I do, and this is the one body butter that has visibly plumped that texture within a few weeks of nightly use. It smells like the beach without being overpowering, which is my favorite kind o...
OSEA Undaria Algae Body Butter
Summer heat brings out little breakouts on my back and chest no matter how careful I am, and this lotion has been the fix that finally cleared them up without drying out the rest of my skin. It goes on light enough to wear under clothes right away, w...
Paula's Choice Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA
Winter still dries my skin out more than people expect, and this fragrance-free lotion is what I keep by the shower for my driest patches after a long day outside with my son. It's an affordable, no-fuss pump bottle the whole family can use without a...
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion
