Body care does not always get the same careful attention as face care, but Sincerely Miss Ash brings a sharp eye to it all the same. She has looked at more than 10 body and tan products and landed an approval rate of 89%. That is a strong record, and almost everything she tried earned real enthusiasm from her.
What does Sincerely Miss Ash recommend in body & tan?
The thing that runs through her approving takes is real moisturisation, not just surface softness. She praised the Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter for tackling deep dryness on legs and arms. She has gone back to the OSEA Undaria Algae Body Butter again and again over the years because it does exactly what a body butter should. Texture matters to her too. She called the OneSkin OS-01 Body Topical Supplement one of the best body moisturisers she has ever used, pointing to its silky satin feel and the fact that clothes do not stick to skin after you put it on. For anyone dealing with uneven tone or rough patches, she was enthusiastic about the Paula's Choice Retinol Skin Smoothing Body Treatment on chest and hands, and about the First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA for smoothing skin and clearing away leftover self-tanner.
In her words
"If you have a lot of dryness, especially on your legs and arms, you're going to love it, and you're going to smell fabulous too. Golden Hour has white musk and amber, which I love a lot, my favorite scent in the brand, with Tangerine as my next favorite for the spring and summer months. I also [...] spray the Golden Hour fragrance mist on top of this so I smell great from morning until evening. I did pick up another one."
"It's so moisturizing, it has a few different oils in it but it's not oily, your clothes don't stick to your skin, and it has a beautiful silky satin texture. It really is one of the best body moisturizers I've ever used, especially one geared towards anti-aging and improving skin tone and softness. [...] I know it's not exactly the cheapest body moisturizer out there, but the ingredients are very advanced and I'm very impressed with it."
"I've been using the OSEA Undaria Algae Body Butter [...] on and off for several years. Anytime I want another body butter in my routine, [...] this is always the one I'll repurchase because it truly acts like a real body butter, it's thick, rich, and very moisturizing on the skin. If you have dry, flaky, parched skin you are going to love this, I guarantee it."
"I love the deodorants from Salt and Stone. They truly keep you fresh for the entire day. The deodorant smells a little more spicy and has a stronger scent than the Oda perfume, but I love the way they both smell."
"It's the First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser, the body scrub that contains 10% AHA, glycolic and lactic acid, so it has a nice grit to it, like a pumice. I really love this for my chest specifically because sometimes in the summer I get a little bit of roughness there, and [...] if you self tan and still have some self tanner lingering on your body, this on its own does a really good job of getting rid of that. It just sloughs everything off and gives a really nice smooth canvas to the skin."
"This is the skin smoothing retinol body treatment and I've been loving this on my chest and the backs of my hands. This is fabulous for those that have uneven skin tone, discoloration on your chest, your hands or anywhere else in your body, texture, and fine lines. This is going to be a great product to treat all of these concerns. This contains retinol but it also has a vitamin C derivative so I do feel like this is quite brightening as well when you're consistent with it."

What has Sincerely Miss Ash skipped in body & tan?
Her one clear skip came down to scent. She liked the formula of the Josie Maran Pink Algae Pro-Retinol Body Butter and found it moisturising, but said she hated the smell so much she had to spray her whole body with cologne just to get through the day. She was upfront that the scent was her only objection. For anyone less bothered by fragrance, her read suggests the formula itself is worth a look.
"I hated the smell so I had to spray my entire body with Sauvage because I didn't want to have to hop back in the shower and restart the process again. So besides the scent of this, I think the formula is really nice and moisturizing, but yeah, I just can't with the scent."
What should you take from Sincerely Miss Ash's picks?
Sincerely Miss Ash gets genuinely excited about body care when a formula does real work, and she is honest when something falls short for her personally. Her record here says most of what she tried delivered. The products she keeps buying again, like the OSEA Undaria Algae Body Butter and the Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter, are ones she goes back to by choice.
