The 18 Best Body Products You Can Buy on Amazon Ahead of Prime Day
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. 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. After shaving or waxing below the belt, this soothing serum helps prevent ingrown hairs while also offering a nice cooling effect.

The firm has also managed to make start play faster, as well as decrease playback errors by 3 per cent. It's all thanks to some visual improvements going on behind the scenes at Netflix. The biggest part of all this is maintaining that film grain effect you'll be familiar with from cinemas. "Camera sensor noise introduces its own characteristics, while filmmakers often add intentional grain during post-production to evoke mood or a vintage feel," Netflix explained in a blog post. However, this can be tricky to maintain when compressing big videos down so they stream faster. Netflix says the feature has been rolling out since March - and you don't need to do anything to benefit from it. It's not clear which titles have been converted in this way. However, the blog post did show examples of how it had been achieved in They Cloned Tyrone, starring John Boyega, Teyonah Parris, and Jamie Foxx.
