Lemongrass Coconut Body Oil
If you’re looking for the ultimate in skin-quenching hydration, body oil is where it’s at. This light and fresh option is easy to apply thanks to the pump bottle, won’t leave you with a greasy feeling, and soaks in in just a matter of seconds.

Coconut Body Butter
With a name like “body butter”, you can bet that this lotion is creamy, smooth, and easily spread all over. (And you would be right). It’s amazingly nourishing but also absorbs quickly – and works great for all skin types -even sensitive skin.

Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer
There are a lot of moisturizers on the market. But for a skin-soothing, moisture-locking option (at the unbelievable price of just $9) you can’t beat this TJ’s gel moisturizer. Apply morning and night to keep your face hydrated and looking its absolute best.
PRO TIP
According to Northwestern Medicine, gel moisturizers can be particularly effective on oily skin. They are most effective when applied to slightly damp skin to seal in moisture and help prevent your skin from drying out.
TRADER JOE’S SKINCARE PRODUCTS
Rose Water Facial Toner
When warm temperatures arrise, you’ll want to have this refreshing toner at the ready. It provides an instant cooling and rose-scented mist that is a much-needed pick-me-up when humidity rolls in. You can even keep a bottle in the fridge for an extra ahhhhh sensation.
TRADER JOE’S SKINCARE PRODUCTS
Nourishing Face Sheet Mask
This do-it-all mask hydrates, revitalizes, calms, and plumps (all for the low low price of $2). And since trying it out, our whole team is keeping a few on hand for a bit of self-care after a long work week.
TRADER JOE’S SKINCARE PRODUCTS
Supreme Hydrating Eye Cream
Are your eyes feeling a bit tired? Give them some supreme hydration, courtesy of this extra-rich eye cream. Formulated with superpower ingredients like hydrolyzed marine collagen, Coenzyme Q10, Manuka honey, and hibiscus extract, it really gets the skin under your eyes feeling refreshed (and can be used day and night).
TRADER JOE’S BEAUTY PRODUCTS
Peppermint & Tea Tree Shampoo Bar
Skeptical of a shampoo that doesn’t come in a bottle? We were too. But this more eco-friendly option really does work just as well as the traditional (just wet the bar and lather into your hair). It also has a perky peppermint smell that will stimulate your nose – and your hair follicles.
TRADER JOE’S BEAUTY PRODUCTS
Dry Shampoo
When you need a quick hair refresher, but don’t have time for a shower, TJ’s dry shampoo will come to the rescue! Simply apply a few pumps onto the roots of your hair, let it sit for a few seconds to absorb, then massage or brush it out. Your locks will look and feel totally revitalized!
TRADER JOE’S BEAUTY PRODUCTS
Cleansing + Conditioning Hair Wash
Replace your two-step hair routine with this clever product that cleans and conditions. It’s free of all that harsh stuff that can strip your hair (sulfates, parabens, and silicones), leaving you with just the good stuff to hydrate, tame frizz, and add volume.
Trader Joe’s Sunscreen
Sunscreen Spray SPF 50+
Daily Facial Sunscreen SPF 40
Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30
TRADER JOE’S BEAUTY PRODUCTS
Daily Facial Sunscreen SPF 40
This lightweight, invisible gel will provide you with daily sun protection – and you won’t even realize you’re wearing it! We also found it’s the perfect dupe for Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen (and just a fraction of the price!)
TRADER JOE’S BEAUTY PRODUCTS
Zinc Oxide Mineral Sunscreen Spray SPF 30
You may think of zinc oxide as that thick, white lotion that lifeguards lather on. But this spray version (which protects from UVA and UVB rays) goes on totally clear, providing an effective barrier against the sun’s rays – that’s also water resistant for 80 minutes.
Trader Joe’s Shower Products
Refresh Citrus Body Wash
Almond Ginger Scent Oatmeal Exfoliant Bar
Honey Mango Shave Cream
TRADER JOE’S SKINCARE PRODUCTS
Oatmeal Exfoliant Bar
To get your skin looking and feeling its best, a bit of gentle exfoliation is in order. This uniquely scented (and quite pleasing) almond ginger bar helps remove dead skin cells and will have your whole body feeling soft and smooth.
PRO TIP
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends applying an exfoliant in gentle circular motions for about 30 seconds and then rinsing with warm, not hot, water.
TRADER JOE’S SKINCARE PRODUCTS
Honey Mango Shave Cream
For a smoother shave, that also happens to smell amazing, opt for this shaving solution. It’s cream-based, non-foaming, and enriched with aloe vera & vitamin E to help you get a trim that’s gentle, nourishing and won’t leave your skin irritated.

This is great information. Thanks for doing the research. Do you know when the Lemon Body oil is normally carried. I understand some products are seasonal. Is this the case for any of the ones you listed.
Yes, some of these are seasonal. I believe the lemon body oil is available in the spring and summer. Thanks for your comment! xx -B
