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.

Somehow we’re already well past the middle of August meaning yet another summer is slipping away from us day by day. And although we’ll soon have to wave goodbye to long, sunny days, the arrival of fall brings with it the opportunity for a whole new wardrobe — and that’s something we’ve always got time for. If you ask us, fall fashion is the most exciting part of the season as we can finally start bringing back the clothing that was too heavy to wear under the summer sun. However, the summer-to-autumn clothing transition isn’t always easy. Late, unexpected summer heat making an appearance in September can hinder the standard approach, and make a seasonal wardrobe transition a little more difficult. When shorts no longer seem seasonably acceptable, and it is still somehow too hot for pants, the perfect solution to this transition trickery is the humble dress. Transition dresses are a FASHION office staple for the in-between season because they provide the perfect fo...
