Dolls, for prom, your choice of body wash is MAJOR.

Suave Naturals Wild Cherry Blossom Indulgent Body Wash ($3) smells sweet but not saccharine-laced. It lathers satisfyingly and is an excellent buy at $3 for 12 fluid ounces. The deodorant of the same scent is one of my faves.

Olay Body Wash Plush with Body Butter Ribbons ($7)
If you like your wash creamy and with a bit of gravitas, this one’s for you. Ribbons of body butter deliver intense moisture where your skin needs it. This one doubles as a fabulous shave cream stand-in when you’ve run out.
