The 10 Best Body Care Products I'm Buying During the 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
I'm saving hundreds my go-tos formulas.
After a week of scrolling through hundreds of Nordstrom beauty deals, I’ve officially determined that the best savings are in the body care section. And you know what? As they should be. I’m relishing in walking around New York City in my favorite long shorts and summer dresses, with weekends spent at the beach to soak up all that delicious sunshine while we still can. That means my skin from head to toe is seeing more environmental exposure (and, sadly, sun damage), so nourishing and repairing products are a must. From hand creams that leave me looking like I just came from a luxury manicure to foot masks that pamper my tired heels after a day of traipsing around the city, the best body care deals at the 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale will leave you looking and feeling like a summer siren—glowy, hydrated, and utterly relaxed.
Keep scrolling for the 10 body products I’m scooping up during this year’s sale.
From Hand to Toe
Your feet and hands take a beating during the summer months, so it’s the ideal time to indulge in a few targeted treatments to soften and smooth the skin.
If you’ve never treated yourself to a DIY foot mask, I urge you to stock up on this set during the sale. Glycolic, salicylic, and lactic acids exfoliate dead skin away for a crazy satisfying and softening peel.
There’s nothing better for super dry skin than shea butter, and this industry-favorite formula is one of the most elegant options to incorporate it into your hand care routine. Snag the duo so your bag is always stocked.
Cream de la Cream
I always, always, always apply lotion after a shower, no matter the season, and—not to brag—everyone always comments on how soft my skin feels. Just saying…
Loose, crepey has no place in my body care routine, which is why this seaweed-rich formula is a longtime staple in my beauty cabinet. Shea butter, amino acids, and ceramides also work overtime (for up to 72 hours!) to keep my skin condition in top shape.
Ask any of the women in my family what the greatest body lotion of all time is, and they’ll tell you Creme de Corps. I’m never without a bottle in my bathroom because it’s just the perfect nourishing formula that’s not sticky, and it never leaves a single dry patch.
Sunshine Staples
Summer means more sun exposure, obviously, so restocking my body SPF is non-negotiable. Remember—UV damage is the number one cause of premature skin aging!
A sunscreen mist is my number one way to reapply my SPF when I’m at the beach or pool, and this formula is one of the most comfortable and effective options on the market. There’s a reason every beauty editor has this stocked in her beach bag.
If there's one body SPF I've used the longest to keep my skin protected during blissful beach days, it's this Coola formula. It's super gentle on sensitive skin thanks to being fragrance-free, and with no greasy finish I never mind reapplying every two hours to prevent sun damage.
Smell You Later
Listen, I’m a sweaty gal, and that’s okay—it means I regulate my body temperature like a pro. But I also don’t mess around with my deodorant, which is why I’m buying a few refills during the sale so I’m always well-stocked.
I have this iconic formula in my desk drawer at work at all times. It smells so delicious and luxe thanks to a blend of amber, jasmine, and sandalwood, and it keeps me dry even when I’m stuck waiting 20 minutes for the train in the boiling subway station.
The hype is real for this body care brand. Honestly, this might be one of the best-smelling luxury deodorants out there, and I’ve tried at least 80 in my career.
Wash the Day Away
Is there anything better than a refreshing shower after a day out in the sun and heat? I’m making sure my bathroom is stocked up with my go-to body washes to help my shower feel like a luxury spa experience.
Gentle, effective, with the type of minimalist branding I wish covered my entire bathroom, this Nécessaire formula simply can’t be beat. The Eucalyptus scent is my go-to for summer.
I’m so nostalgic for the Freesia scent from Bath & Body Works (child of the ‘90s, what can I say?), but this luxe formula is the perfect elevated alternative. Score the hand and body wash to scent your bathroom to the max.
