4. The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter ($21): Moisturize your skin to keep it looking as healthy as ever using a body butter that even smells like the beach.

7. NARS Laguna Bronzing Powder ($39): Warm up your look by adding a bronzer to the hollows of your cheeks and anywhere you want a bit of an extra tan.
