Best of Boston

We adore the new Louis store’s in-house apothecary, but for the town’s most expansive selection of pleasant-smelling lotions, scrubs, soaps, and salves for hands, feet, and body, there’s no place better than MiniLuxe. The salon specializes in luxury products, including those from Bee Naturals, Rejuvacote, St. Tropez, and the best exfoliators known to woman: LaLicious’s sugar scrubs. A smattering of flip-flops and slippers rounds out the buff-and-polish selection. And unlike those other bath and body stores, MiniLuxe doesn’t install overly perky soap-pushers at the shop’s entrance.
