Forget powdering your nose, body powders are where it's at. For smooth, silky skin, use luxurious dusting powders after your bath, to freshen up when you can't take a bath, as a subtle alternative to perfume or as a way to prevent chafing (we're looking at you, irritating gym shorts).

You can find the best body powders and brands in our product review section. From baby powder to talc-free alternatives, medicated to organic, these products have been tried and tested by real women who don't hold back when it comes to naming the best and worst body powders.
