The 2023 SELF Healthy Beauty Awards: The Best Body Care Products


Bonus points, per the experts: This product contains jojoba oil and squalane, which both hydrate skin.

One tester said: “I love, love, love this product! The packaging and presentation was spot-on, it was very easy to use, it went on the skin smoothly, and it smelled spectacular. This glistening golden body oil did exactly what it said it would do—and I will definitely continue to use it.”

Just so you know: This product contains fragrance, which can be irritating to people with sensitive skin. 

The Best Deodorant: Megababe The Cream Deo

Sweaty, stinky people behold: This deodorant actually works. It has a mild, sage-y scent and an innovative rubber cap that makes hands-free application even and easy (and totally satisfying—it’s giving ASMR). According to our testers, just a thin layer is enough to get you through a full 24 hours.

Bonus points, per the experts: This product contains the alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) mandelic acid and lactic acid, which are chemical exfoliants that help prevent ingrown hairs. It also contains niacinamide and squalane, which soothe and moisturize. 

One tester said: “Deodorant in a cream that doesn’t leave you with crusty pits? Check. A deodorant that smells great, is in a cute package, and actually works??? Check. I will only be using this deodorant until further notice!”

Just so you know: AHAs can be irritating for some folks, especially people with sensitive skin.

The Best Body Wash: Olay Body Regenerist Body Wash

Olay’s Regenerist Body Wash left testers feeling smooth and looking bright. One tester was particularly struck by its unique texture: It’s silky and nourishing—“not your typical body wash”—at a drugstore price, to boot. 

Bonus points, per the experts: This product contains niacinamide, which brightens, soothes, and hydrates skin. It also contains glyceryl oleate, a compound of glycerin and oleic acid (found in moisturizing plant oils like olive oil, avocado oil, and marula oil) that softens skin.

One tester said: “It smells delicious and is definitely an enjoyable experience for an everyday body cleanser. I can’t say enough about the smooth, silky texture. It’s almost like applying lotion to your skin.”

The Best Body Wash for Eczema and Dry Skin: Nakery Beauty Intensive Repair Treatment Eczema Relief Soothing Treatment Wash

Nakery’s Intensive Repair Treatment Eczema Relief Soothing Treatment Wash is exceedingly gentle. Although it’s formulated for people with eczema, anyone who deals with very, very dry skin can benefit from using it.

Bonus points, per the experts: This product contains soothing aloe and redness-reducing niacinamide, as well as colloidal oatmeal, which can help relieve eczema symptoms like dryness or itchiness. 

One tester said: “It’s super lush and creamy, with just enough lather to feel like it’s cleansing. The smell is a little on the oat-y side, but very mild.”

The Best Body Scrub: Soap & Glory the Real Zing Body Scrub

This Soap & Glory scrub delivers on several body care fronts: It buffs away dead skin, helps prevent ingrown hairs, and has an invigorating texture and smell. In addition to lending your skin an all-over glow, it’s simply delightful to use.
