January's Best Beauty Bets

Buff Up Neatly

We've always found the body scrub concept better in theory (slough away dry, dull skin) than in practice (dip into a jar of greasy, gritty, tub-defiling goop). But then we tried Kiehl's Gently Exfoliating Body Scrub ($25). Each tidy tube holds a rich, creamy blend of skin-smoothing granules, oatmeal, rice, and avocado oil—and the scents are divine. Juicy sweet Pear Tree Corner has given us a new reason to get out of bed in the morning; Lavender makes nighttime showers a soul-soothing experience.
