Degree was one of the first deodorant brands I started using when I realized I needed to up my underarm odor protection. I consider it one of those tried and true brands to turn to because you know exactly what you’re going to get when you grab it off the shelf. But in the new year, the Unilvever brand is switching things up, and not just with its staple product, deodorant, but with a whole line of bodycare products.

The expansion makes sense, especially when you look at the types of products Degree will be offering come January. If you trust the brand to take care of you throughout the day — especially during tough workouts — why not look to Degree for relief after a long day or sweat session as well? From here on out, you likely will thanks to the addition of muscle soaks, body wipes, soaps, and more coming in a few weeks.

The bodycare line complements the new deodorant formula also coming from Degree next month which is aluminum and alcohol-free and available in four scents: Revitalizing Botanicals, Calming Lavender, Uplifting Citrus, and Awakening Waves. The second deodorant range, Unstoppable Freshness, available in stick and spray form, will feature Degree’s MotionSense® technology which activates as you move, promising 48 hours of sweat and odor protection.

Like everyone, we’re eagerly anticipating the new year, but we’re especially looking forward to trying out Degree’s new bodycare collection. Here’s a closer look at the products we have our eye on.

Epsom Salt Muscle Soaks

The phrase “Maximum Recovery” says it all when it comes the products in the bodycare line, especially the Muscle Soaks. Known to help relieve tired, sore muscles and speed up recovery, Epsom Salt is combined with mood-boosting fragrance technology to ease your mind and your body in these soaks. The lavender extract soak helps calm and soothe while menthol adds a tingling sensation to the experience. Both soaks have the bonus of electrolytes.

Body Wipes

Now that we’re on the go now more than we were earlier in the year — and more germ conscious than we may have been last year — these Body Wipes will definitely come in handy. The extra large wipes are big enough (and strong enough) to remove dirt, sweat, oil, and odor-causing bacteria from your entire body and the inclusion of menthol or eucalyptus extract adds a cooling sensation that’ll leave you feeling refreshed after an intense workout at the gym. One box of wipes has 10 packets inside.

3-in-1 Body Bars

If you think soap is just soap, think again. These new 3-in-1 Body Bars are designed to deep cleanse, refresh and revive. Suitable for hands, face, and body, the bars remove germs, bacteria, sweat, dirt, and oil while the separate formulas help nourish and refresh the skin in different ways. Options include citrus extract, lavender extract, menthol, and ginger extract. And they’re all infused with Epsom Salt to give an extra dose of relief to achy muscles.

Massage Bars

Massages are hard to come by, but oh so necessary, especially after an intense workout. Described as a “foam roller in the shower,” this product kills two birds with one stone, or bar I should say. In addition to cleansing away dirt and germs, the bar also has massaging nubs to help relieve tension in muscles as it refreshes the skin. Choose between eucalyptus extract and Epsom Salt or charcoal extract and Epsom Salt — or load up on both.

Body Wash & Soaks

If you have a standup shower like me and wish you could take advantage of the Muscle Soaks, no need to worry. The new dual Epsom Salt Body Wash & Soaks offer the same muscle-relaxing, stiffness-reducing benefit using the hot water of your shower. Plus they’ve got the same mood-enhancing fragrances as well with a few additional varieties: citrus, lavender, tart cherry, eucalyptus, ginger, charcoal, and eucalyptus and lemongrass. The washes also cleanse away all the dirt and grime of the day so you’ll be totally refreshed post-shower.
