PEOPLE Beauty Awards: The Best Body Products of 2019
Drumroll, please!
After months of testing more than 600 drugstore beauty products, it’s officially time to crown the winners of the PEOPLE and TODAY 2019 Beauty Awards.
Of the hundreds of new launches our editors tested, we narrowed down the top 50 makeup, face, body and hair buys. On Thursday, PEOPLE style and beauty director Andrea Lavinthal and TODAY contributor Jill Martin joined TODAY with Hoda & Jenna cohosts Hoda Kotband Jenna Bush Hager to reveal the best body products — from body washes to lotions to antiperspirant. Not only are these products so, so good, you’ll gasp when you see their low price tags when you grab them from drugstores, or Amazon.com!

Best Double-Duty Body Wash: Dove Body Wash Mousse

Best Antiperspirant: Secret Deodorant Clinical Strength Night Treatment
This unique treatment is applied at night. Why? That’s when your body temperature is more likely to be regulated. So apply before your shut-eye, and enjoy dry pit all the next day.

Best Body Lotion: Cetaphil UItra-Healing Lotion
Suffering from dry skin? Use this ceramide-infused formula to restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Since it’s also free of parabens, fragrance and gluten, it’s especially great for those with super-sensitive, irritable skin.

Best Body Cream: Jergens Body Butters
This new essential oil-infused body lotion (which comes in three mood-boosting scents) are crafted with the trifecta of powerful, ultra-hydrating butters — shea, mango, and coconut butter.

Best SPF: Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Weightless C-Spray
This ultra-fine mist feels barely-there on your skin. Plus, it provides up to 12 hours of hydration (but don’t forget to reapply every two hours, to reap the SPF protection).
