1
Protect skin in winter.

Winter is dry skin’s playground. Make sure your skin is protected from the harsh weather and central heating by smoothing in a rich, thick moisturiser like our nourishing Body Love Essential Care Body Lotion.
2
Cleanse gently.

Cleansing can be rough – your skin needs its natural oils so be gentle with it and use a wash that will put that sought-after moisture back in, like our Original Beauty Cream Bar
3
Don’t overheat.

In the shower, keep the water warm – too hot and it will strip those oils from your skin
4
Be kind during hair removal.

Hair removal can make dry skin worse. Always use shaving gel (or, just between us, conditioner actually makes a great shaving cream) and a good moisturiser post-shave to put the stripped-away oils back in, like our Body Love Silky Pampering Body Cream
5
Bedtime care.

We want to keep hands happy, but it’s hard to find a free moment where hand cream doesn't end up all over our phones. Work around that by applying it before bed. Try Body Love Essential Care Hand Cream
6
Eat smart.

Pick up some oily fish at the supermarket – the fatty acids in them act like a natural moisturiser from the inside out
