Instead of giving yourself an unrealistic (and unhealthy) goal of dropping two dress sizes by summer, how about just focus on smoothing the skin you’re in? Your body is a temple, after all, and it doesn’t need a complete overhaul–it just needs a little TLC to get ready for being in a bikini 24/7.

Smoothing, tightening and detoxifying skin can all be done in a matter of days, thanks to these tried-and-true methods like dry brushing, taking fiber supplements and body polish with wheat protein that our editors swear by:

Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
Review of Buns of Glowry body sculpting product

Truly Buns Of Glowry

This TikTok-famous butt polish smells amazing (like watermelon) and works overtime in the shower to increase firmness and minimize fine lines and cellulite. Aka, you can wear one of those trendy wedgie bikinis without thinking twice.

I've been using it in the shower every few days and love how it feels. Pro tip: you don't need to "add water" as the label indicates, wet fingers are enough to get the polish going, without washing too much of it down the drain. Hurry--it's selling out (again) and is low in stock!

Sparkle Fiber for enhanced beauty and style

Love Wellness Sparkle Fiber

This daily supplement acts like a "gentle broom" sweeping your gut for better digestion, anti-bloat and eliminating toxins, the latter of which helps skin "sparkle."

I've been taking the supplements for ten days and already feel a difference in my tummy. LoveWellness is The Hills star Lo Bosworth's line, and also makes the Bye Bye Bloat supplement that works well for beach body readiness.

Goop G.Tox Ultimate Dry Brush for skin rejuvenation

Dry brushing may seem intimating, but wellness guru Gwyneth Paltrow and her team are on to something. This ancient method only takes 3-5 minutes, and is one of the effective methods for exfoliating skin.

Use it in the shower in upward, circular motions towards the heart (start from the feet and work up). The result is baby smooth skin and better texture. I love the idea of removing dead skin cells before I hit the beach.
