Okay ladies, 'fess up: How many of you don't exactly shower every single day -- or would like to be able to sidestep a lather session every now and then? That's what we thought.
Maybe you're a harried mom who has more important ways to spend her time (like, hello, keeping that child alive). Maybe you just hopped off a red-eye. Maybe your love for your snooze button has winnowed your getting-ready time to mere milliseconds. Maybe you're a fitness junkie who can't squeeze in a rinse after every spin class (to be fair, sometimes studios don't even have a shower). Or maybe you're the Wicked Witch of the West, and a drop of water would literally destroy you. Whatever your reason, there are plenty of good excuses for not showering on the reg -- and now there are products that'll help you keep your dirty little secret (#nojudgment).
From a dry shampoo that defies human logic to a body wash you can use sans agua, here are the products that'll keep you looking and feeling clean -- even if you're grimier than Pigpen.
Designed to eliminate sweat, dirt and nasty smells, Yuni No-Rinse Body Cleansing Foam, $19, is a mousse-like body wash that doesn't require any pre-wetting or rinsing. Meaning, you can rub it on all parts of your body to cleanse all over, or just hit up problem spots, like your pits, and you're good to go. Aloe and neem extract will help keep skin soft, while essential oils wrap you in an invigorating scent.

Lady Bits Bath
Real talk time: You don't want to clean up down there with just any product. But you can rest assured that you aren't doing any harm to your lady bits -- and won't be met with any stinging or burning -- when you use Sweet Spot Wipes, $9.99, which have the approval of gynecologists. They contain antioxidants and aren't made with glycerin (which can encourage yeast growth -- ick). Available in scents like neroli mandarin, grapefruit verbena and vanilla blossom, these wipes will leave your hoo-hoo -- or the rest of your body -- feeling fresh and clean.
Here's an old-school solution to an ageless problem: Lightly dust your body with Clean's Fresh Body Veil, $28, to prevent moisture from sweat. As the day goes on, this powder will release a gentle, fresh fragrance. Bonus: Its light-reflecting particles will give your skin a touch of luminosity.
GoodWipes Body Wipes for Gals, $8, basically pack a shower in a wipe. These refreshing disposable cloths remove sweat and dirt while cooling your skin with tea tree oil, peppermint and ginseng. Plus, despite being large enough to be able to cleanse your entire body, the individually wrapped packages make it incredibly convenient to always have them on hand.
