Summer means lots of things: barbecues, pool parties, pedicures, and a whole lot of skin exposure. Without the camouflaging comfort of jeans, suddenly ashy, scaly legs require some immediate attention. Ditto for limbs and other areas that could benefit from a bit of glow. With a mix of superstar new products hitting shelves and a few old standbys, we’ve compiled your essential list of products for gleaming summertime skin, from scrubs to oils, self-tanners and more. (Sunscreens are a topic all their own—for more on that, see here.)
British tanning expert James Read developed these versatile drops to give glow-seekers a customizable option to achieving the ideal amount of bronzing. Add one to four drops to your usual moisturizer and un-sunned limbs will look like you’ve already spent your summer poolside.

St. Tropez Gradual Tan Watermelon Infusion - Everyday Moisture Miracle Body Lotion
This option allows you to swap out your daily body lotion for one that smells like fresh watermelon and lets you build your perfect shade of bronze—without the streaks that can come with a non-moisturizing formula.
There may not be anything natural about a sunless tan, but this mist comes pretty close in its formulation—boasting an organic certification and some powerful natural ingredients. Coola’s spray-on dry oil tanner gets an added boost of moisture from aloe vera, argan oil and hibiscus, and lets you spritz your way to the perfect summer glow.
The newest product from green beauty authority The Detox Market—their in-house line launched last October—the Happening Scrub became available on the online store this week. It smells like grapefruits and ginger, and delivers a three-pronged approach to exfoliation: sea salt to get rid of dead skin, bamboo powder to polish and a creamy, milky finish to moisturize. Basically, it’s the stuff post-beach bath (or outdoor shower, if you’re lucky) dreams are made of.
This scrub combines chemical and physical exfoliation, with AHA-rich hibiscus extracts plus tiny plant-based granules. The scent is florals all day long (orange blossom, gardenia, and frangipani, to be specific), so if that’s not your cup of tea, keep clicking.
While physical exfoliators are much better tolerated by elbows, knees, arms, legs and the like than by the sensitive skin on our faces, that doesn’t mean you can’t give your body the same special treatment. This peel combines glycolic and lactic acids to wash away dead skin and leave you looking glowy—just as its name suggests—all over.
With one single high-quality ingredient—organic unrefined coconut oil—this stuff is the definition of a no-frills beauty product. It’s also the reason you can pretty much use it on anything, from your face to remove makeup to your hair.
Another go-to source for sustainable beauty, Beautycounter’s brand new body balm starts out as a solid and melts into an oil, moisturizing skin with a blend of oils. It’ll also leave you smelling like a garden, with a blend of summery florals.
A French pharmacy staple, Nuxe’s Huile Prodigieuse was been around long before the dry oil trend caught on. Their latest iteration of the 20-plus-year-old formula adds a citrusy floral scent to the mix.
When Alexa Suter was plagued with a series of recurring UTIs in 2017, she became hyperaware of the products she was putting on her body. The Vancouver-based marketer began replacing the conventionally crafted soaps, lotions and detergents in her routine with more natural alternatives. But there was one particularly intimate swap that she says made the biggest difference for her health down there. “I noticed that if I was wearing underwear made from a natural fibre like cotton, I would feel much better than if I was wearing a synthetic nylon or polyester,” Suter says. That observation led Suter down a rabbit hole of research, where she discovered that synthetic textiles like nylon and polyester are far from breathable and a breeding ground for odour-causing bacteria. Such man-made fabrics are also often treated with toxic compounds like formaldehyde, resins and flame retardants, some of which may trigger allergic reactions, disrupt the body’s hormonal functions and have even been li...
