The days of sacrificing efficacy for aesthetics are over. This two-in-one offers a translucent shiny color, plus ingredients like tea tree oil, arginine, and encap- sulated keratin that strengthen and repair nails.

rice water make that a reality with this wash. Eco-friendly bonus: The sustainable bottle uses 50 percent less plastic than traditional plastic bottles.

Delivering serious moisture with no greasy feel, the musky amber lotion absorbs in sec-
onds. And the flip cap needs just one hand to open. High five!

Tootsies looking a little rough? Enlist the help of this skin- sloughing 30 percent glycolic acid cream. Massage onto dry heels, then rinse after 15–30 minutes to reveal smoother, sandal-ready skin.
