Preparing for a new season is a task that can be arduous or luxurious. Luckily your beauty routine can fall into the latter category. Get ready to shed the layers and let your skin show from your shoulders to your toes.

Warning: Your feet will peel! Yes, it will look absolutely disgusting, but it is so worth the smooth skin that comes about a week after the treatment. Our tip: Keep it on for 80 minutes, soak your feet each night and do not apply lotion until all skin has shed.

Self-tanners are known for their long-lasting, Saltine smell and tendency to riddle your skin with orange spots and stripes. But not this beauty gem—not only is its scent pleasant, but it’s also tinted brown so that even tanning novices can monitor and perfect their application.

We all want moisturized skin—but not if the trade-off is having to feel a slimy film all day. This body butter is unscented (go ahead and wear your favorite perfume without hesitation) and packs in nourishment and firming peptides that leave your skin hydrated all day long.

A scrub is only as good as it works and smells. Check. And check. This vitamin-enriched scrub with sugar granules and vitamins A and E leaves skin smooth, without feeling scraped, and smelling fresh and beautiful.

This sugary scrub not only tastes like a treat on your lips, but it also works almost instantaneously. Chapped lips don’t stand a chance against this as the sugars exfoliate dry skin and leave a hydrating balm (the pure maracuja oil) on the lips.
