TJ’s has a few best-selling products in the beauty and skincare aisle that have undergone a fall transformation. The Pumpkin Body Scrub ($7) is an in-shower exfoliant made from brown sugar, pumpkin, and sunflower and jojoba seed oils that help with dry skin. Afterwards, lock in moisture with the Pumpkin Body Butter ($5), which is infused with coconut oil, shea butter, and pumpkin seed oil.

Waffle Weave Cotton Kitchen Towels

Made from 100 percent cotton, these $8 Waffle Weave Kitchen Towels are designed with “tiny, recessed squares” that increase the fabric’s surface area. In turn, this increases the towels’ “dish-drying, spill-sopping, counter-cleaning capabilities,” per TJ’s.

Pink Peppermint Face & Body Mask
