Typically, when we think of skincare, we focus solely on the face — and completely neglect our precious skin from the neck down. One region in particular that gets left in the shadows? Your butt. But (pun intended), thanks to a slew of new beauty launches, our derrières are finally getting the attention they deserve.
Just like the skin on your face, your bum (and the rest of your body, since we're talking about it) deserves a skincare routine that goes way beyond a daily wash. Whether you suffer from butt acne (or buttne, as we like to call it) or just want to give your bum a little boost in lift, smoothness, or texture, there’s a product out there to assist your concerns.
So, which kinds of butt skincare products should you actually use? Butt scrubs, butt masks, and butt creams are your friends — they're specifically targeting your backside, and can help calm your skin, minimize the appearance of stretch marks, and heal other imperfections. You can of course use regular body scrubs, acne treatments, and body lotions if you prefer: In fact, in our guide to all things buttne, dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee, M.D., aka Dr. Pimple Popper of SLMD Skincare, suggests using higher-strength anti-acne products on your bum, since your skin back there is more resilient than your face.
To help you discover the latest and greatest bum-enhancing products, we researched 15 standout butt scrubs, butt masks, butt creams, acne body washes, and other magical butt beauty products to make your booty glow.
The Brazilian Bum Bum Cream has now achieved cult status in the realm of butt beauty. While it's known for its bum-contouring properties (hence the name), this cream can also help tighten any area you desire.
What's the secret? Guaraná — a native Amazonian plant that contains a potent form of caffeine — works with an antioxidant-packed cocktail of cupuaçu butter, açaí, and coconut oil to form this fast-acting cream that helps to smooth the skin. It's also formulated with a hint of mica to add some subtle sheen for that true Brazilian glow.
That booty tho! The name caught our eye, but the ingredients truly sold us on this scrub from Anese. This super-fine, walnut-shell scrub stimulates blood flow and assists in regenerating new skin cells.
It also contains antioxidants and essential fatty acids to target fine lines and dryness, leaving your bum feeling softer after just one use.
This effective lotion that's packed with arnica and calendula can improve the appearance of butt acne in as little as 24 hours. It's also packed with alpha-hydroxy acids like lactic and glycolic acids to exfoliate and slough away the dead skin cells that can cause acne in the derriere region.

We all want the look of a Brazilian butt lift without actually going under the knife. Unfortunately, none of the products on this list (or in the entire world) will give you that result, but this cream from Mio comes pretty darn close.
