AHA & BHA Body Treatments to Get Your Skin Soft and Smooth For Swimsuit Season

Banish every type of lump and bump
If you struggle with little bumps on the back of your upper arms (AKA kerastosis pilaris, or KP) give this unique, grapefruit-scented, body serum from Soap & Glory a try. Powered by AHAs (derived from a blend of bilberry, orange, sugar cane and sugar maple) that leave your arms soft and smooth, it also contains mica powder, which lends a light-diffusing sheen that helps camouflage imperfections.

This 2-in-1 face and body scrub is powered by a well-loved BHA superstar, salicylic acid. It busts through oil and unclogs pores and hair follicles to kick body acne and ingrown hairs to the curb. It also contains an AHA, glycolic acid, to further aid in cell turnover, working overtime to fade any acne-related discoloration. Plus, this citrus-scented scrub is so gentle, you can use it on your face too! Say buh-bye to breakouts from head to toe this swimsuit season.

PCA Skin Body Therapy, $62
Try adding this treatment body lotion to your skincare repertoire and you won't be sorry. It's designed to give you soft, even-toned skin thanks to the lactic acid in the formula. Its exfoliating properties help with wrinkles, as well as hyperpigmentation and other surface blemishes, while jojoba, shea butter, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and barley extract work to hydrate the skin and lock in moisture. This will leave you with some buttery, soft skin anywhere you use it.

If you aren't a fan of rough, physical exfoliants, you'll love this gentle, chemical one. Apply the bouncy, gelee formula anywhere you want to exfoliate and rub in a circular motion. Let it sit for 10 minutes — while you wait, a blend of fruit-based AHAs work to exfoliate and remove rough patches — then rinse it away (though it smells so good, you'll want to leave it on forever). It's especially great to use before shaving and it leaves behind a faint hint of the delicious bergamot oud scent.

This lightweight BHA lotion is great for anyone dealing with KP or bacne. The salicylic acid unclogs pores and hair follicles, handily treating the breakouts, while green tea and vitamin E soothe and hydrate the skin, leaving it soft, smooth and bump-free. It soaks in quickly and is fragrance-free.
