That’s why we love Bliss. They have the best at-home beauty kits and products money can buy, so a cheap, spa-like treatment is only a few clicks away. Dust off that Enya CD, light some candles and enjoy these awesome products. You can thank us later.

The Bliss lemon+sage body scrub ($36) is as close to a spa treatment as you can get at home. Apply it before you get in the shower – it rinses off luxuriously and leaves your skin soft, smooth and ready for moisturizer.

We’re especially adoring the Paraben free bliss lemon+sage body butter ($28) which is amazing on rough spots like elbows and feet. Although it’s thick and creamy, it absorbs surprisingly fast. Use it on even the hottest days without feeling like a puddle of grease when you get to work.

And the Lemon + sage soapy suds body wash and bubbling bath ($18) is a total multi-tasker, just like you. You can use it as shower gel, bubble bath or handsoap in the bathroom or kitchen for deliciously fresh smelling skin.

We also love that you can try these out, give them as a gift, or travel in pampered ease with the Sinkside Six pack ($25) because there is nothing more relaxing than convenience. And lemons and sage, we’ve learned.

Why: I’m constantly looking for ways to use my a.m. bathroom time as effectively as possible, and Olay’s In-Shower hydrator with VitaNiacin puts me one step closer to striking that ideal “get in, get out, get on with my day” balance. This moisturizer lets me multitask, doing something I’d normally dedicate a few minutes to (moisturizing) while checking other tasks (like letting my conditioner soak in) off my list.

And—bonus!—it’s actually better to hydrate in the shower, rather than after. All that steam opens pores, making skin a sponge for much-needed moisture. Plus, I can wrap up in a snuggly towel immediately post-shower, instead of standing there shivering (and undoing all my shaving handiwork) while I slather on moisturizer. Soft skin, post-shower efficiency, and a few more minutes to wake up? I’d say that’s a win-win-win.

Sandal season is upon us once again, and whether you opt for cheap-o plastic flip flops or designer gladiators, you’re going to need to show your newly re-exposed feet a little extra loving at the end of the day.

Profoot Toe Bandages ($3.89)

It takes a while to get used to having an abrasive thong between your toes; soothe callused tootsies with toe bandages, cut-to-size tubes that encircle toes like Band Aids can’t.

Dr. Scholl’s For Her Ball of Foot Cushion ($4.89)

Make your super-high wedge sandals a walk in the park to wear by slipping invisible gel cushions into them. The sleek design enhances the foot’s natural gripping motion, taking the pressure off the balls of your feet and actually improving circulation.

Heel Rescue Gel Therapy Booties ($16)

Beautify your sandal feet (and make that expensive pedi actually worth it) by spending 20 minutes in Heel Rescue Gel Therapy Booties. There’s no messy creams or lotions—the gel’s built right into the spa-quality booties, which meld to your foot’s shape to promote moisturizing, heal cracks, and smooth rough patches.

The competition separates products into “mass” (findable at a drugstore) and “prestige” (more expensive). Below, the winners from three very seasonally relevant categories.

Bath and Body Treatment

In the Mass category, Avon Anew Professional Stretch Mark Smoother ($17) took the prize with its exclusive stretch-mark-reducing technology.

The Prestige product, Ojon Rare Harvest Tawaka “The Ball” ($55), is a body polish (in ball form) with the same amount of antioxidants as 2,834 lbs of blueberries, which is a lot of antioxidants/blueberries.

Hair Care, Style & Coloring

Avon’s Advance Techniques Grey Root Touch-Up ($6), the Mass winner, is a mascara-like wand you can use to touch up greys between colorings – perfect and perfectly priced if you’re pinching beauty pennies.
The CEW’s Prestige hair pick, Living Proof No Frizz cream ($30), is a good antidote to the styling woes brought on by summer humidity.

Sun

Before you head to the beach, it might be a good idea to pick up a can of Aveeno Continuous Protection Active Sunblock Spray SPF 70 ($10), voted best Mass sun product – it’s stronger sun protection than most, and the spray can makes application easy.

If it’s a self-tan you’re after, Clarins Delicious Self-Tanning Cream ($42) is a good bet with cocoa butter, cocoa bean, and a rich chocolate scent.

You can see a list of all the winners on the CEW website.

What: Bliss Love Handler, $36

Why: I don't know anybody who's a fan of muffin tops. But I don't know too many people who are gung-ho about doing agonizing hours of crunches to get rid of them either. Bliss Spa's Love Handler is quite the happy medium.

Yes, you'll still have to do some kind of ab exercises, but if you're just looking for a little firming and some minimization of pudge, slathering on a nickel-sized dollop of Love Handler twice a day really does do the trick. For me, it took a couple weeks for the effects to show, but I did notice a difference.

I took the advice of some product reviewers and applied right before hitting the gym, and while part of it must be psychosomatic, I feel like I'm getting twice the oomph from those grueling planks and sit-ups.

For those allergic to the gym, take peek at our Shapewear Guide and Yummie Tummie review for alternative ways to keep the muffin top in check. 

H20 Plus Hand and Nail Cream ($17) is a lightweight cream that you can apply after washing your hands. This is a year-round option that soothes and nourishes dry hands and cuticles.

Bath and Body Works Look Ma New Hands (on sale for $6) is perfect for people who have to deal with the elements and drastic changes in temperature. Containing paraffin to help seal in the lotion's moisture, this is a great work tote or handbag staple to protect your hands before you put them back into your gloves.

Last but not least, Neutrogena Norweigan Formula Hand Cream ($4) is a tried-and-true solution. This is the big time, heavy-duty hand cream for indoor/outdoor care.

And check out our Lip Balm Guide for heavy-duty winter balms that will keep your lips smooth all season. 

What: Pure Romance Edible Body Bling ($12.50)

Why: Want to look good enough to eat this Valentine’s Day (or any day for that matter)? This dusting powder gives skin a light shimmer without going totally over the top. It has a light sweet vanilla scent and a decadent vanilla honey taste. That's correct…the powder is edible. Layer on after the bath and add some unexpected spice to your night. Forget the messy chocolate body tattoo, this product is boyfriend-tested and beauty-approved, ladies.

If your gym doesn’t have shower toiletries, take the Bliss Sinkside Six Pack ($22) into the shower with you. It has face wash, soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and body butter in a package that fits into your hand.

A mascara eye and bold lip complements the flush in your skin after a workout. This Urban Decay Trifecta Makeup Kit ($22 ) contains eye primer, mascara, and liner to get a perfect post-workout wink.

Now, if you’re truly in a hurry and don’t have time to even wash your hair (and those of us who have been paged into a meeting during a sweat session know what I mean,) these Ted Gibson Hair Sheets ($17 for 10) are a godsend. Run them over your hair and hit your mane with a cool blast from the dryers provided.

Keep this light and travel-friendly Sedu Revolution Shortie Mini Styler ($50) at the bottom of your bag. It heats up quickly, works like a dream using tourmaline ionic plates, and best of all, comes with its own heat-resistant carrying case which doubles as a protective surface!

Here’s another trick: keep all of your toiletries in a lingerie bag like the ones you use to wash your delicates. You can hang it in the shower and it drains dry. Just place the wet bag on a towel while you’re getting ready and throw it in your gym bag when you're ready to go. You’ll never have moldy gym things again!
