DARE TO BARE

Ready to show off your silkiest skin yet? Take an extra step: exfoliate. We know, the words extra step aren’t music to mom ears, but a 2-in-1 soap and scrub lets you multitask. Done gently, even daily exfoliating isn’t too much, according to Katie Rodan, cofounder of Rodan + Fields Dermatology. And doing it before shaving releases trapped hairs, so no shaving bumps. A 2-in-1 product to try: Yes to Coconut Polishing Body Scrub. It smooths with coconut husk and smells like vacation. $7.99, target.com
