The 18 Best Body Products You Can Buy on Amazon Ahead of Prime Day
Oh bodies, these meat slabs we call home. Sometimes, as I'm carefully buffering, soothing, moisturizing, and tenderly caring for my face, I look down at the rest of my skin and think it must be jealous. After all, the extend to which I treat my bodies to products is a quick scrub in the shower if I'm not lazy, and maybe lotion if it's a good day. My reason for neglecting the skin below my neck is that whenever I fall in love with a body product, I always hoard it, terrified of the day I will run out. After all, bodies require a higher volume of product than faces, which means that if you like to slather on a good amount of lotion–which is a necessity for my dry skin–it disappears alarmingly quickly. But then I realized one important thing: It's possible to buy basically every beloved body product online on Amazon, and have it delivered within the week. Plus, if I'm going to be doing some online shopping anyway, I might as well check out Amazon's other beauty products, too. If you don't already know, Amazon has a great selection of skincare, makeup, nail products, haircare, and more. And since Amazon Prime Day is coming up, on July 12th and 13th, now is the time to make your wishlist. Below, find solutions to dry skin, eczema, body acne, pale legs, and ingrown hairs–all on Amazon.
If you desire some sunless tanning, throw this on wet skin in the shower and emerge with a glow like you're stepping off a private jet that just landed from the Bahamas.
Have you heard of strawberry legs? Also known as Keratosis pilaris, this scrub uses physical and chemical exfoliation to get you back the smooth, even tone you've been looking for.
If you're prone to irritating and uncomfortable ingrown hairs, you probably already know that Tend Skin is the only solution that's guaranteed to work.
SheaMoisture is known for their top-notch hair products, but this body and hand scrub is just as lust-worthy. The scent is like a tropical vacation in a tub.
No, you shouldn't eat it, but I would understand if you tried. This brown sugar scrub will make you feel alive for the first time in two years.
Get some perkiness back with this peptide body serum that gives a subtle lift to your body. Layer it underneath a body lotion or on its own for some lightweight hydration.
For the minimalist seeking next-level hydration, this pure shea butter is so intense, it needs to be scooped out with some elbow grease. Once it melts on your body, you'll be silky and moisturized for days. Days.
Coconut is probably the best scent for an overall mindset shift. Skip the piña colada and instead opt for this moisturizing body wash that's smells so good you could eat it (but don't).
Treat your body like your face. That is to say, gently. This body wash is great for sensitive skin that's prone to feeling dry and itchy.
Oh bacne, that old foe. Proactiv is known for their pimple-healing product line so it's no surprise that their body wash is just as effective.
Get a two-in-one with this hand and body wash. Throw it in the shower to rinse off your pits or on the sink for an everyday hand soap.
Ugh, that horrible experience of looking down at your legs and seeing the scales appear like you're a lizard man. This lotion is infused with soothing oats for a bod you're comfortable in.
Hydrated skin is all nice and good, but up the ante with some straight up glitter. Throw it on your legs and watch them shimmer like a mermaid's tale.
For anyone suffering from eczema, you know the struggle to find effective and non-irritating products is real. Eucerin developed this body wash specifically for the most sensitive skin to be both healing and effectie.
If you remove any hair from your nether regions, you know that ingrown hairs down there are incredibly uncomfortable. This oil soothes the skin, softens hair, and heals ingrowns.
For all over radiance and hydration, this body oil is lightweight yet ideal for dry skin.
Give your pale bod a boost with this self tanner that smells yummy–a game changer in the self tanning community–and looks natural. Say no to UV rays and yes to some at-home tan.

UnitedHealth's campaign to quiet critics
Mary Strause, a filmmaker in Wisconsin, logged on to Amazon's video-streaming service in late May so she could share a link to her latest project, a docuseries that harshly criticized the U.S. health care industry. She was surprised to see that her video had vanished. Strause had no way of knowing it, but the video had been taken down after a law firm working for UnitedHealth Group, one of the country's largest health care companies, sent a letter warning Amazon and another streaming service, Vimeo, that the video was defamatory. It was the latest salvo in an aggressive and wide-ranging campaign to quiet critics. In recent months, UnitedHealth has targeted traditional journalists and news outlets, a prominent investor, a Texas doctor and activists like Strause and her father, who complained about a UnitedHealth subsidiary. In legal letters and court filings, UnitedHealth has invoked last year's killing of Brian Thompson, the CEO of the company's health insurance division, to argue that intense criticism of the company risks inciting further violence. The tactics have had an impact. Amazon and Vimeo both removed Strause's film. The Guardian postponed publishing an investigation of the company after UnitedHealth sued over a previous article it said was defamatory. UnitedHealth joins a growing group of companies and wealthy individuals, including President Donald Trump, who are using legal threats and lawsuits to deter or penalize criticism. Over the years, there have been scattered examples of embattled companies -- such as Purdue Pharma, the maker of the highly addictive painkiller OxyContin -- deploying legal offensives against a broad spectrum of journalists and critics, said Lee Levine, a retired First Amendment lawyer who has defended news outlets, including The New York Times. 'Some version of this has been going on for a long, long time,' Levine said. But, he added, 'the incidence of it has increased.' For UnitedHealth, the stakes are high. In recent years, the company has been the subject of extensive investigative reporting into its billing practices and denials of patient care, among other things. It faces a variety of federal criminal and civil investigations, including into potential Medicare fraud and antitrust violations, The Wall Street Journal has reported. 'Negative publicity may adversely affect our stock price, damage our reputation and expose us to unexpected or unwarranted regulatory scrutiny,' UnitedHealth noted in its most recent annual report. The company's shares have declined 40% over the past year. Eric Hausman, a spokesperson for UnitedHealth, defended the company's efforts. 'The truth matters, and there's a big difference between 'criticism' and irresponsibly omitting facts and context,' he said in a statement. 'When others get it wrong, we have an obligation to our customers, employees and other stakeholders to correct the record, including by making our case in court when necessary.' Even before Thompson was fatally shot in December on his way into a Manhattan hotel, the company had been seeking to tamp down negative publicity. In March 2024, The Examiner News in Mount Kisco, New York, published its latest investigation of a UnitedHealth division, Optum Medical Care, that operated in the area. A source had provided Adam Stone, the newspaper's publisher, with a recording of Optum employees, and Stone said he inadvertently posted the whole file, rather than a snippet, with his article. Within hours, he had corrected the mistake -- but not before Optum had noticed. About a week later, Stone received a letter from the executive who ran Optum in New York and New Jersey, saying he had potentially committed a crime by airing audio that included private information about patients. The executive demanded that Stone destroy the audio and said the company might seek a court injunction barring him from continuing to publish it. Stone replied that he would not destroy the audio. An Optum lawyer then wrote a letter reiterating the demand. Stone again refused. It was the last he heard from the company. 'The aim was to use scare tactics to intimidate,' Stone said. UnitedHealth's efforts intensified after Thompson's killing. In early January, Dr. Elisabeth Potter, a plastic surgeon in Austin, Texas, posted a self-made video on TikTok and Instagram that described how she had interrupted breast-reconstruction surgery to respond to a phone call from UnitedHealth about whether the insurer would cover a patient's stay at a hospital. The call had come to the operating room's phone line, leading her to believe it was urgent. 'Insurance is out of control,' Potter said in the video. 'I have no other words.' The short video was viewed millions of times and attracted hundreds of thousands of 'likes' on social media. About a week later, Potter received a six-page letter from the law firm Clare Locke, which UnitedHealth had retained as 'defamation counsel.' The letter claimed that she had distorted the circumstances of the phone call and that her video was libelous. It noted that some commenters were responding to her posts by celebrating Thompson's killing. The letter demanded that she retract her video and apologize. A lawyer for Potter sent a letter to Clare Locke defending the accuracy of the video. The law firm did not respond, Potter said. One of the many people who shared Potter's video was billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who has nearly 2 million followers on the social platform X and regularly wades into controversies. In a post accompanying the video, he suggested that investors should bet against UnitedHealth's stock and that the Securities and Exchange Commission should investigate the company. The post brought even more attention to Potter's video. Ackman soon heard from Clare Locke. He already knew the firm. He and his wife, Neri Oxman, had hired Clare Locke to threaten Business Insider after it reported in 2024 that she had plagiarized parts of her doctoral dissertation. (They did not end up suing.) Now, though, the roles were reversed. One of the firm's co-founders called an aide to Ackman and told him that the video included falsehoods. And UnitedHealth contacted the SEC to complain that Ackman was trying to drive down the company's stock price. Ackman deleted the post. But after he spoke with Potter and looked at notes and call logs provided by her lawyer, he changed course. 'I believe that Dr. Potter told the truth,' he wrote on X in February. He accused UnitedHealth of 'brazen attempts to silence UNH's critics.' Clare Locke never followed up with him. Still, Potter's conflict with the company was not over, she said. She had recently opened her own surgery center and had hired a consultant to help persuade UnitedHealth and other insurers to classify it as an in-network provider. Winning that designation was essential to Potter's business plan. Then Potter's video went viral, and UnitedHealth stopped responding to inquiries from her representative, she said. Potter perceived it as retaliation. Although she said she was still in talks with other major insurers, UnitedHealth is the country's largest. She said she worried that her surgery center might have to close. At the time that she posted the video, Potter hadn't anticipated UnitedHealth's reaction. 'I guess I was naive,' she said. Hausman, the UnitedHealth spokesperson, said the insurer had decided not to designate Potter's center as in-network before she posted her video. In May, The Guardian published an investigation that said UnitedHealth had sought to save money by discouraging nursing homes from sending sick residents to the hospital. The article -- which was based on lawsuits, internal company documents, patient records and interviews -- noted that UnitedHealth disputed its findings. Last month, UnitedHealth sued The Guardian for defamation. The lawsuit accused the news organization of deliberately publishing false accusations and 'brazenly trying to capitalize on the tragic and shocking assassination' of Thompson. The Guardian said it stood by its reporting and was preparing to defend itself against the lawsuit. The timing of the lawsuit was notable. It was filed the day before The Guardian was scheduled to publish a second investigation into UnitedHealth, according to people familiar with the plans. The news organization had informed UnitedHealth about the article's timing. After the lawsuit was filed, editors at The Guardian decided to postpone publication of the second piece, the people said. It hasn't yet run. It was around this time that Strause, the filmmaker from Wisconsin, logged on to Amazon's video-streaming service to get a link to share with a friend. Strause and her father, Dan Strause, who had helped run a small chain of pharmacies in Wisconsin, had hoped that the docuseries, called 'Modern Medical Mafia,' would reveal the inner workings of drug industry middlemen known as pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs. One of the largest PBMs, Optum Rx, is a UnitedHealth subsidiary. The show's central premise was that PBMs operated like an organized-crime ring, using their dominant market positions to push prescription prices ever higher. The first episode included interviews with two members of Congress and several prominent critics of PBMs and featured computer-generated animations of shadow-cloaked businesspeople and gangsters. A trailer for the series went online late last year, and UnitedHealth learned that it was going to be available on platforms including Amazon Prime Video. In January, Clare Locke flagged UnitedHealth's concerns in a letter to Amazon's outside counsel. The episode nonetheless became available on Prime Video in late March. On May 21, Clare Locke wrote again to Amazon's lawyers. The 16-page letter claimed that the docuseries 'spreads a vociferous and false screed in a thinly-veiled call to violence for anyone who is dissatisfied with the American health care system. Recent history and Brian Thompson's murder demonstrates the devastating and irreversible consequences of ginning up such hatred with false claims designed to inspire violence.' The letter said the video violated Amazon's terms of service and should be removed, in part because it 'doxxed our clients' physical address' by showing a street sign for Optum Way in Minnesota. Within days, the video -- which had no more than a few hundred views -- had been removed from Prime Video. Strause contacted Filmhub, the company that had helped place the documentary on the platform, to ask why. 'Channels occasionally decline and remove titles that they say are not aligned with their ever-changing content policies,' Filmhub responded, noting that Amazon's decision was not subject to appeal. (An Amazon spokesperson, Katie Barker, said in a statement that Filmhub decided to have 'Modern Medical Mafia' removed after Amazon flagged its 'low video quality.' Filmhub executives did not respond to requests for comment.) In early June, Strause received an email from Vimeo, where 'Modern Medical Mafia' had also been available for streaming. 'This content was removed due to a complaint Vimeo received concerning defamation,' the email said. 'Vimeo is not able to evaluate the truth or falsity of such a claim, and it asks that you resolve the dispute directly with the complainants, Optum Rx and UnitedHealth Group.' To Strause, UnitedHealth's determination to get her video taken down showed that she and her father were exposing the truth. 'They're intimidated by what we're saying,' she said. The video remains available on YouTube, which said it had not received a request to remove it, and Strause said she planned to upload the rest of the series to that platform later this year.

This French Moisturizer Is Great For Sensitive Skin
As much as I love luxury skin care goodies, there's nothing quite like finding affordable beauty products that are as effective as they are budget-friendly. And while usually this means scouring the internet and doing a lot of trial-and-error, there's one cult-fave moisturizer that is hiding in plain sight at most major retailers — La Roche-Posay Toleraine Dobule Repair face cream. Boasting 4.6 out of 5 stars and a whopping 42,071 5-star reviews at Amazon, this French pharmacy staple is one of the internet's true hidden gems. It retails for just under $24, so there's really no reason to not try it at least once. As one reviewer put it: 'Do not buy this... unless you want your skin to be AMAZING!' This simple moisturizer is great for all skin types thanks to a nourishing oil-free formula powered with effective active ingredients that won't make your skin feel greasy or cause breakouts. It's also an excellent option for those with dry, irritated skin. It harnesses the power of ceramides, niacinamide, prebiotic thermal water and glycerin to drench your skin in long-lasting hydration and antioxidants without clogging pores. According to the brand, it helps to restore the skin's natural moisture barrier within just an hour of use and was formulated with sensitive, reactive skin in mind. HuffPost Shopping writer (and beauty devotee) Tessa Flores is a fan and recommends this cream. 'It's definitely hydrating, which is honestly just my main goal when it comes to moisturizers, and non-irritating. It's also more lightweight feeling and soaks in well compared to other La Roche-Posay moisturizers I've tried, which feel kind of balmy. This doesn't feel like that, so anyone who's really opposed to that feeling will probably prefer this,' she said. The cult-favorite La Roche-Posay moisturizer is the ideal everyday cream for people of all ages, and is even available with SPF for anyone who wants extra protection from the sun's UV rays. It's light enough to layer on over other skin care products and acts as a nice base for makeup. Many reviewers made mention of the fact that it leaves skin feeling soft, silky and smooth — even moreso than other more expensive options. It splits the difference beautifully between a mattifying and overly dewy finish, which is why it works so well with so many different skin types. Find out why everyone loves this Amazon bestseller and pick one up for yourself. You can't go wrong with this easy moisturizer that's suitable for just about everyone. Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes, with or without SPF, and in a two-pack).
