Fresh Body Fresh Breasts Lotion ($12)
Virtually raise your hand if boob sweat is a very real (and annoying) part of your life. The end of summer heat likes to remind us that, yes, our girls are still in fact there. We’re so over it. Luckily, the geniuses at Fresh Body are putting boob hygiene to the forefront with a game-changing product. Say hello to this weird item: deodorant for your ta-tas!
Background: Fresh Body Fresh Breasts Lotion ($12) goes on as a silky lotion and then dries to a cooling powder to prevent wetness. It replaces baby powder and normal deodorant to keep you dry and fresh!
The Scoop: The main ingredient is tapioca starch, which essentially absorbs moisture. The formula is unscented, so you don’t have to worry about it mixing with your fragrance. Plus, it’s totally paraben- and aluminum-free, so it’s safe for your skin! There’s also no need to reapply — this stuff lasts all day.
SNP Animal Tiger Wrinkle Mask ($5)
Background: If there’s one thing Korean beauty has taught us over the years, it’s this: There’s a sheet mask for everything. Enter SNP, the brand that’s giving people maximum selfie potential with a mid-sheet mask and post-sheet mask. Animal Tiger Wrinkle Masks are all the rage, and they’re bringing your skin back to life!
The Scoop: This adorable SNP Animal Tiger Wrinkle Mask ($5) is basically like an energy drink for your skin. It thoroughly hydrates the pores, firms the surface and diminishes dullness. Infused with fruit and herb extracts, this face mask has all the powerhouse ingredients to strengthen the elasticity of skin for a clock-stopping look. After washing and toning, place the mask over the face and leave it there for 10-20 minutes. Gently pat it for better absorption.
Tushy ($59)
Let’s talk tushies. If we’re being honest, the market for that area isn’t up to speed quite yet. We did a bit of research, and it looks like our friends across the pond in Europe are one step ahead in the toilet department. Allow us to introduce you to Tushy, your bum’s new BFF. It’s giving toilet paper a run for its money, and we’re giving you the full scoop!
Background: To put it simply, Tushy ($59) works as an alternative to toilet paper. Water cleans better than paper and it reaches where toilet paper can’t. Oh, and fun fact: A week’s worth of flushing normally uses up approximately 55 gallons of water, while switching to a bidet would use 1.3 gallons. It’s saving the planet, your booty and wallet!
The Scoop: It’s a device that is either separate from or installed in a toilet that shoots water up your butt and cleans it — sorry, there’s no other way to describe it! This small and easy add-on does more than just make your bum cleaner. It’s making the world a better place. Buying a bidet actively works to help solve the global sanitation crisis. Tushy has partnered with the organization Samagra to provide families in India with a toilet for every bidet sold. This is crucial in areas where people are forced to resort to open defecation because of their lack of access to sanitary toilets. Tushy has also joined forces with charity: water to provide schools with toilets, promoting cleanliness and boosting attendance in schools. The bidets are easy to install on your own. No outside power source necessary!
