    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.

    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

    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

    Eat smart.

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

The Derma Spa Uplifted+ Body Lotion has given my skin a new lease of life. It smells delicious and absorbs into my skin to make it really smooth. Couldn’t live without it!
