Good skincare doesn't end at the neck. The best skincare routine can do wonders, both for your skin and your mood, and if you haven't extended that self-care to the rest of your body, trust me, you're missing out. Body skincare routines are also a form of self-care, and they don't have to be elaborate. It can be as simple as using a luxe body wash for dry skin and massaging your damp skin with a yummy-smelling body lotion.

Of course, the best-smelling body lotion is subjective. Like perfumes, body lotions can range from floral, powdery scents to warm vanilla and sandalwood. Depending on the formula and concentration, scented body lotions can also vary in strength and lasting power. To help you find the best-smelling body lotion for you, I tested countless moisturizers and polled fellow Cosmopolitan editors for their faves—from perfume-enhancing vanilla lotions to floral retinol body lotions.

You may have to kiss a few frogs before finding your prince, but once you find the scented lotion that's right for you, you'll wonder how you ever managed life without it.
