We talk a lot about body care, and it's for a good reason. It is as crucial as a skincare routine. But although we love having a body care routine, sometimes the best options for products are not the most expensive ones.

As fans of budget-friendly products, here are our picks to set up your body care routine for an affordable price.

Native Body Wash - Sweet Peach & Nectar

We chose this body wash because it smells like peaches and nectar, and who doesn't want to smell like that? If this scent isn't your vibe, Native has numerous other scents, so you can opt for whatever floats your boat. This body wash is designed to be residue-free and uses coconut oil, cleansing salt, and citric acid to help with your body's pH balance. It was created to keep your skin hydrated as well.

Dr. Teal's Restore & Replenish Orange Scented Pink Himalayan Sea Salt Scrub

This salt scrub uses Epsom salt and pink Himalayan salt to help exfoliate your skin. It also contains aloe vera, shea butter, jojoba oil, and vitamin E to hydrate and moisturize your skin. We love it because it smells like orange and bergamot (which smells kind of like earl gray tea). The formula promises to exfoliate as well as keep your skin moisturized.

Soap & Glory Hydrate Body Serum

This serum is vegan and cruelty-free. This formula is non-greasy, fast-absorbing, and lightweight, and it smells like a rose. The key ingredient in this is hyaluronic acid, which will help hydrate and moisturize your skin.

Cetaphil Sheer Hydration Replenishing Body Lotion

Something worth mentioning right away is that this product is fragrance-free and sensitive skin-friendly. It is lightweight and easily absorbs. Some of the key ingredients are sunflower oil, vitamin B5, and vitamin E, which are used to soothe, rehydrate, and nourish your skin. The hydration is supposed to last for up to 48 hours.

SheaMoisture Daily Hydration Coconut Body Oil

Body oil is not necessary for your body care routine, but it's a nice bonus item, especially if your skin needs some extra hydration. We love body oils like this because they give you a natural glow without feeling gross and add some hydration. This product can be used as a body oil, bath oil, and skin serum. Some ingredient highlights in this are acacia senegal, virgin coconut oil, and coconut milk, which provides hydration.
