The New Way to Use Body Lotion I'm not a responsible body lotion user. Most of the time I completely forget until I'm about to get dressed, and at that point it feels too late. Experts agree that the best time to apply body lotion is right after you shower while your skin is still damp -- it's more receptive to moisture and will hold onto it longer.

That's where Jergens Wet Skin, $6.99, comes in. It's a body lotion you apply in the shower while you're still wet. And unlike its predecessors, you don't have to rinse it off so there's no risk of slipping on a moisturizer-coated tub. The formula is packed with oils that hold onto the water and simultaneously sink into your skin leaving it feeling instantly silky. If you're still damp, you can towel off, and the lotion stays on your skin without transferring to the towel.

The biggest challenge with Jergens Wet Skin is remembering to use it while you're wet. But if I forget, I'll jump back in the shower for a quick splash -- that how much I love this product.

With its muggy weather and vacation-centric scheduling, August is the perfect time for minimalist beauty. Sheer makeup, barely there manicures and simplified cleansing routines mean more time to enjoy the last full month of summer.

The best new beauty products launching in August 2015 reflect this idea. There's a body lotion you apply in seconds, a makeup made for working out and even a hat that provides sun protection and keeps you cool. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, these beauty products are here to upgrade your summer. You're welcome.
