26 Target Products To Deal With Body Issues
A stick of Megababe's Thigh Rescue I can *personally* testify works anti-chafing miracles after wearing it many a task in Texas heat. I've tried a few other brands, but always end up back at Megababe because it lasts the longest and isn't grossly greasy.
A Kerasel fungal nail renewal treatment because while we love Shrek, we don't exactly want his nail routine. This magic stuff helps reduce discoloration and thickness, as well as hydrate and exfoliate brittle nails to get them back on track to being ✨shiny✨ and strong.
Promising review: "I noticed my big toe had nail fungus, so I tried this treatment. I've been applying it twice daily and after just 18 days, my nail looks much better. I thought it would take longer, but it's already improving." —IvyPrice: $26.49
A Bug Bite Thing insect bite suction tool to relieve itchy bites and stings from insects out for their big spring and summer ouchie hoorahs. No need to broadcast that you forgot to reapply bug spray to the world: Those meddling insects can ~suck it~. (Or at least your new tool can!)
Promising review: "It ONLY works if you use it right away, but it DOES work. People who say it doesn't work are likely waiting too long. You have to keep it with you and use it as soon as you feel the bite. That's the trick to it. Great product." —FeralHousewifePrice: $9.99
A K-beauty snail mucin essence I've not gone without since 2020 because this is a GOOD bandwagon to be on, trust me. This was a big part of the popular glass skin movement on TikTok, but all I care is that it helps tame my adult acne flareups and fits seamlessly into my morning (and evening!) skincare routines.
Promising review: "This is very hydrating. My bedtime moisturizer wouldn't leave me feeling very hydrated, but after adding this into my bedtime routine my skin feels nice and moisturized for the night!" —Emily Price: $8.50+ (available in two sizes)

An Aveeno foot mask if your feet are dry, dry, dry from all that sandal wearing. Get them back into tip-top shape by giving them their own personal spa day while you relax on the couch and catch up on your fave shows.
Pro tip from someone who loves these: Keep them on a full 30 minutes. There is SO much product in these little booties, give your feet a chance to fully soak them up and then wring out the extra when you're done and give yourself a foot massage. My feet are SO soft after using these and I always have some on hand in my cabinet. Promising review: "Adding to my weekly routine. I've done foot peels and they help but not before a week of sloughing. This is a 10 minute deep conditioning that left my feet super soft and moisturized. Next time I'll use after a proper soak and scrub and expect to have silky soft feet. Well worth the money if you do pedis at home." —DailyJuicerPrice: $4.59
And Aveeno hand masks so your paws can also get in on the pampering action. Nobody wants to fess up to crummy cuticles and flaky fingers, but this will help rehab your hands so you don't even have to mention them before ~they're gone~. (The flakes and crumbs, obviously. Not your hands.)
Promising review: "First off super easy to use, not messy at all. I was skeptical, my hands get so dry that they crack and bleed. I put these on and instantly felt relief. I hardly recognized my hands when I took them off! Smooth and pain free! Life changing! I'm stocking up on these bad boys!!!" —MommaBirdPrice: $4.59
A Debrox earwax removal kit if you constantly have earplugs or in-ear headphones clogging up your ear's natural cleaning system. 🙋🏻♀️ Since we're apparently *not* supposed to use cotton swabs in our ear canals, these drops are the answer to helping flush out all that ick.
And what a treat this stuff is! I use it about once every three to six months just because I SWEAR my ears feel cleaner afterwards. (And the drops actually foam in your ears which is fun!)Promising review: "This saved me a trip to urgent care. It worked great! My ear was plugged for about a week and nothing was working. It worked the first time using it. I highly recommend!" —KimPrice: $10.49

A can of antifungal foot spray to treat and prevent most cases of athlete's foot or jock itch. Use it daily to make sure redness and itchiness stay as far away from you and your cute shoes as possible.
Promising review: "This is the best antifungal foot spray I have EVER used. It sprays very easily and doesn't dry out your skin, and it really does the job of keeping my feet clean and dry and itch free. It also prevents my heels from cracking, and my toe nails look super healthy. I look at them now and I swear they look like a child's. …Really beautiful! I've tried several other brands and nothing works as well or feels as nice as this spray. Try this and you'll never use another one, I promise; It's THAT good!" —Diane B.Price: $7.99
A bottle of Bio-Oil — a friend practically threw one at me when I complained of my nose being scaly. I have since used this on very old scars and can confirm this is a miracle elixir that should cost much more than 10 buckeroos. Sometimes I put a couple of drops in my daily moisturizer ~just for fun~ because it also smells amazing.
Promising review: "I've been using this for about a month now and can tell a big difference in a scar I have. Also, just love the moisture it provides my skin. I use it on my whole face, not just the scar area and I think it has brightened my skin." —BoysbaseballandbohoPrice: $6.49+ (available in three sizes)
Or an Aquaphor Healing Ointment! I got on the Aquaphor train after having a baby (because this stuff is GREAT for preventing diaper rash), but now it's never leaving my home because I use it on my lips, on my dry elbows, and anywhere else that needs some TLC. My kid calls it "the special lotion" and it really is.
Promising review: "Amazing during the drier months. We use on hands, lips, elbows, cheeks, everywhere. It is very oily and thick so it is better to use at night if you don't like the consistency. It works wonderful! I will sometimes out lotion on my kid's hands and wrists then use this on top before bed and it works great to help with very dry skin." —CeebeePrice: $7.79

Promising reviews: "I will never buy another brand of tweezers. Love Tweezerman. Precise, sharp, excellent quality." —R"I recently bought this tweezer to replace my old tweezer man that I had had for over five years. These are just as good as my old ones. I won't use any other brand! They do the job!" —maggie92Price: $29.49 (available in three colors)
A Dove 72-hour deodorant that helped me get rid of that weird armpit discoloration for good and keeps me from sweating and smelling in Texas summers. (I can't stress how high of praise this is for anything that has to go up against 100+ degree heat on the regular.)
It's formulated with "Pro-Ceramide Technology," which works to help replenish and strengthen your skin's natural barrier by potentially boosting ceramide levels (which naturally reduce when you shave) to keep shaving and heat-caused redness away!Promising review: "Hands down my favorite deodorant! Last all day, no residue, and smells so nice. Worth the price." —Target CustomerPrice: $8.49
A pack of breath-freshening TheraBreath gum: You already know and love their mouthwashes.

(🙋🏻♀️) My hair was dry and hay-like on the ends, but no more with this miracle leave-in treatment! Just leave it on your tresses for about 10 minutes after showering and voila!
Price: $45
Some of the internet-famous Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil that's famous for a reason: It's affordable. It smells amazing. Oh, and it WORKS. My greatest shopping writer regret is not taking "before" pics of using this stuff because it helped my postpartum thinning spot better than anything else I've tried. (And without the strong chemical smells of some of the other stuff, thank you very much.)
Some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This works great! I use it on my hair the night before I am planning on doing a wash. It always leaves my hair feeling great the next day!" —CpowellPrice: $10.99
A rechargeable Philips Sonicare toothbrush your dentist is probably always telling you to buy, and you should. Lazy perfection for oral hygiene is my most favorite kind of lazy perfection because when I brush my teeth, I want them to be setup for success with all the summer sugary treats I'll be eating this season. Snackities before cavities.
Promising reviews: "This toothbrush is fantastic. It really leaves your teeth feeling much cleaner. The different intensities and different cleaning modes really allow you to experience a deep clean every time and is much better than other brushes I've tried before." —Gwills"Sonicare makes the best. It's amazing how clean my teeth feel." —Target CustomerPrice: $109.99 (originally $129.99, available in four colors)
A three-pack of dermaplaning razors so you can shape your brows, remove unwanted facial hair, or exfoliate your face on the cheap. (I'd make a hair pun here, but perhaps I should just cut it out...and put these in my cart already.)
Promising reviews: "The blade is sharp, and I love that each one comes with a safety cover. Great for at home dermaplaning." —PTC"These work way better than any other dermaplaning tool I've used.

A Hyland's topical salve with so many applications, you'd be a silly goose not to have this on hand. Ingrown hairs, splinters, bug bites, and boils... This salve is basically a magic potion ready to aid you at every turn.
Promising reviews: "If you get stubborn under the skin pimples, try this! It works so well when applied consistently." —30 something mama"I put this on overnight for any stubborn under skin pimple. The stuff is a must have." —Mel MPrice: $6.99
A stainless-steel tongue scraper to give your tongue the same kind of deep clean you like to give your car, your toilet, your everything. Your tongue is responsible for delivering flavor cues to your brain, so it's important to keep it in tip-top shape!
Promising review: "I was super excited to receive this tongue scraper. I really like how wide the scraper is. It's light, cleans easy, great feel to it. The quality is more than what I expected for its pricing." —MomoPrice: $11.99 for a two-pack (originally $16.99)
A warm vanilla-scented Eva NYC dry shampoo because we as a society should not be punished with strong artificial smells and sticky roots for getting rid of our greasy hair. Enhanced with vitamin C and fatty acids, this will actually nourish your hair and make it smell amazing!
Promising review: "Tried this for the first time today and I absolutely love it! Works great and smells amazing!" —AnnabellePrice: $16.99

Federal judge blocks Florida from enforcing social media ban for kids while lawsuit continues
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge has barred state officials from enforcing a Florida law that would ban social media accounts for young children, while a legal challenge against the law plays out. U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued the order Tuesday, blocking portions of the law from taking effect. The measure was one of the most restrictive bans in the U.S. on social media use by children when Gov. Ron DeSantis signed it into law in 2024. The law would ban social media accounts for children under 14 and require parental permission for their use by 14- and 15-year-olds. In his order granting the preliminary injunction sought by the groups Computer & Communications Industry Association and NetChoice, Walker wrote that the law is 'likely unconstitutional,' but acknowledged that parents and lawmakers have 'sincere concerns' about social media's effects on kids. Walker wrote that the prohibition on social media platforms from allowing certain age groups to create accounts 'directly burdens those youths' rights to engage in and access speech.' While siding with the industry groups' claims that the law limits free speech, Walker allowed a provision to go into effect requiring platforms to shut down accounts for children under 16, if their parent or guardian requests it. Parents — and even some teens themselves — are growing increasingly concerned about the effects of social media use on young people. Supporters of the Florida law have said it's needed to help curb the explosive use of social media among young people, and what researchers say is an associated increase in depression and anxiety. Matt Schruers, the president and CEO of the industry association CCIA, praised the judge's order blocking the law. 'This ruling vindicates our argument that Florida's statute violates the First Amendment by blocking and restricting minors — and likely adults as well — from using certain websites to view lawful content,' he said in a statement. 'We look forward to seeing this statute permanently blocked as a violation of Floridians' constitutional right to engage in lawful speech online.' A spokesperson for Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier defended the law and the state's efforts to insulate kids from social media at a time when platforms like TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat seem almost impossible to escape. 'Florida parents voted through their elected representatives for a law protecting kids from the harmful and sometimes lifelong tragic impacts of social media. These platforms do not have a constitutional right to addict kids to their products,' Uthmeier's press secretary Jae Williams said in a statement. 'We disagree with the court's order and will immediately seek relief in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.' ___ Kate Payne is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

Why TikTok's Viral ‘Caveman Method' Doesn't Work, Explained by Dermatologists
All products featured on Teen Vogue are independently selected by Teen Vogue editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. Liz Coulbourn Overconsumption and multiple-step routines have long dominated skin care conversations, but we've done a 180. This weekend, TikTok creator Tia Zakher went viral discussing her controversial 'Caveman Method," which allegedly is helping in restoring her skin barrier. On the social app, Zakher announced she had given up everything from her beauty routine — even water. The internet was immediately set ablaze, with some questioning whether this method was beneficial and many inquiring about potential long-term skin issues, such as infections and bacterial growth. Zakher has created numerous videos explaining her decision, stating that she wanted to 'reset her skin barrier.' Some viewers believe she is rage baiting, pretending to not wash her face, while others think she is actually participating in the cold-turkey method — it's raised a lot of questions and concerns. After she made her viral posts about the 'caveman regimen' — avoiding all skin care products and not washing her face — in April, the TikTok influencer who sparked the movement broke her streak in late May. In a video that quickly gained traction, she revealed she was washing her face for first time in a month, using CeraVe's gentle cleanser. Reactions were mixed: while some praised her for listening to her skin and ending the experiment, other commenters remained skeptical about the authenticity of the change, speculating whether the sponsorship played a role. Still, fans acknowledged the end of a saga that had sparked widespread debate over skin care minimalism versus modern dermatology. While the 'caveman' era may be over, the controversy it stirred and the questions it raised about the skin care industry are likely to stick around. Zakher's posts have led to a deep dive into the 'Caveman Method,' and a slew of people are wondering if there's some truth to the myth. To answer all your pressing questions, we chatted with three board-certified dermatologists — Dr. Mona Gohara, MD, Dr. Angela J. Lamb, MD, and Dr. Asmi Berry, DO, FAAD — to find out if there's a world where stopping all forms of skin care, water included, would actually help 'heal your skin barrier.' Check out what they had to say below. Dr. Angela J. Lamb: It could temporarily help some people whose skin is extremely irritated from overuse of products, as it reduces the chances of chemical irritation and gives the skin a 'break.' However, for the person who is still wearing makeup and working out (which introduces sweat, dirt, bacteria), not cleansing the skin can actually clog pores, worsen acne, and lead to infection, so in these cases it is unlikely to genuinely help the skin barrier long-term. Dr. Asmi Berry: The 'Caveman Method' isn't backed by science. If you want to reset or strengthen your skin barrier, a better method is to simplify your routine, not abandon it. Stick to a gentle cleanser, a hydrating moisturizer, and a mineral sunscreen. This approach gives your skin the support it needs without overwhelming it. AJL: Basic necessities include a gentle cleanser that is non-stripping, a hydrating moisturizer, and a non-comedogenic sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher, every morning. One optional add-on treatment includes a serum to address acne, dryness, or pigmentation concerns. You can skip toners, mists, eye creams, use of multiple serums, or heavy-duty exfoliators, unless specifically needed or advised by your regular dermatologist. AJL: Yes, you can heal your skin barrier by stopping harsh products, such as retinoids, strong acids, and alcohol-based toners. To heal your skin barrier, you also need to moisturize regularly with products that contain barrier-repair ingredients, such as ceramides and fatty acids. Lastly, you should use a gentle cleanser with warm water, avoiding over-washing and hot water. Healing can take 2–6 weeks, depending on how damaged the barrier is. AB: Without cleansing, dead skin cells, sweat, oils, dirt, and makeup can create an environment where yeast and bacteria thrive, leading to fungal acne or skin infections. Not washing off allergens or irritants can also trigger contact dermatitis, causing redness, itching, and rash. Dr. Mona Gohara: Water by itself is not bad for the skin. Much of our skin is naturally comprised of water. In fact, our skin barrier has a natural moisturizing factor that Mother Nature gave us — the NMF's job is to attract water and moisture. For the surface of your skin, mixing water with a gentle non-soap cleanser is best to cleanse the skin of impurities, and open the pores, allowing other products such as moisturizers to absorb more easily. AJL: Less is more. You don't need 15 products to have healthy skin, and you should focus on consistency over time rather than trends. Also, what your skin needs will change over time — what works at 16 may not work at 26. Whatever you do, don't skip sunscreen. UV damage is a major cause of aging and hyperpigmentation, even if you don't see it now. MG: For a gentle, non-soap cleanser, I recommend using Neutrogena's Hydro Boost Hydrating Gel Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid, Fragrance Free, as it's gentle on the skin and provides the hydration needed for skin care minimalists – great for daily use. For normal to oily skin, I recommend using Neutrogena's Collagen Bank SPF Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30. I love this product because it acts as a multitasker, both moisturising and protecting from the sun, perfect for those looking to use as few products as possible. For dry skin, I prefer Neutrogena's Hydro Boost Water Gel with Hyaluronic Acid because it has the moisturizing power of a cream, but absorbs quickly like a gel. But don't forget to use SPF – I recommend Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Mineral Face Liquid SPF 70 as it's suitable for sensitive skin as well. $15.00, Amazon $30.00, Ulta $23.00, Amazon $17.00, Amazon AJL: For a cleanser, I like La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cleanser for normal to oily skin. For a moisturizer and for SPF protection, Neutrogena Collagen Bank SPF Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is a wonderful daily sunscreen that can be layered with makeup or other skin care products. $18.00, Amazon $30.00, Ulta AB: 'Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, it's a gentle cleanser packed with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, and gets rid of dirt without leaving your skin feeling tight or dry. La Roche Posay's Toleriane Double Repair Moisturizer, a lightweight, fragrance-free moisturizer with ceramides and prebiotics to support the skin barrier. EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46, a mineral-based, lightweight sunscreen perfect for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. Bioderma Sensibo H2O micellar water, a quick, gentle way to remove makeup without irritating your skin. $44.00, Amazon $18.00, Amazon $24.00, Amazon $20.00, Amazon This story has been updated to include Zakher's post about breaking her caveman method streak.
