I wanted to shine light on some body products I've been reaching for lately. My skin gets a lot dryer in the Autumn/Winter, and I think because I cover it up more with jumpers and jeans, I do tend to neglect it. These are all very effective products, and smell lovelyyy - minus the fake tan, the smell isn't bad, but I wouldn't exactly describe it as heavenly. I tend to talk a lot about the skincare I use on my face, but not so much the products I use on my skin everywhere else...so here we go!
Sunday Rain Body Scrub // I love a body exfoliator - my legs especially get very dry and can often be prone to lumps and bumps post-epilation (side note, if you want to know more about epilating and how I've found it let me know!). I try to combat that by exfoliating as often as I can remember. This is a lovely, fine physical scrub that really gets in there and removes dead skin. The smell is very pleasant as well, quite summery, but to be honest I love how uplifting it is. If this was in a squeezy bottle, this would be my perfect body product! You obviously don't want to over exfoliate, however every 2-3 days works well for me at keeping my body smooth and nourished. I also like to run a little over my feet to keep those looking acceptable - top tip!
Isle of Paradise Tanning Drops in Dark // I've been a fan of Isle of Paradise for a few years now, and I've used their medium face and body drops before, but I do find I can get away with the dark version. These drops are the easiest way to achieve a natural tan - even my mum comments on how nice the shade is, and trust me she would be the first to say if it was at all orangey! I love that you add the product into your moisturiser, that way you aren't skimping on hydration - the best of both worlds. I will use them on a mitt, I've tried without and it wasn't a good look...so to be safe I will always mix both my moisturiser and the drops on the mitt and apply from there. I find that the dark shade doesn't really need to be built up, you can get good colour payoff after the first use. I found this not to be the case with the medium drops, however if you like a more gradual tanning approach then they may be for you.
& Other Stories Perle de Coco // The nicest smelling body product I have EVER tried. You can't tell me I'm wrong, OK. This is very similar to the Bum Bum Cream that everyone raves about - the smells are practically the same (I do have both so I am equipped to say such things), however this one lingers on the skin for longer which I personally appreciate. This also has a pump...can you tell which one I prefer!? If you've been tempted by the Bum Bum Cream, I highly encourage you to pick this one up and I don't think you will be disappointed. It's a sweet scent, very vanilla and caramel heavy. The texture is lovely as well, super hydrating but not too thick that you have to wait 10 years to get dressed.
Aveeno Body Lotion // If you're after a body lotion to really hydrate and you're not too worried about smelling like a fresh batch of cookies, I would recommend Aveeno as a brand to have on your radar. They do moisturisers very very well, they are perfect for all my dry and sensitive skin readers out there. When my skin feels particularly lizard-like, this is my go-to. Also another pump...we love to see it. This particular lotion is un-fragranced, another great asset if you have sensitive skin. You can't go wrong with this as a good everyday body lotion!
