BODY LOVE
Easy ways to feel like a million bucks from home!
There are generally a lot of ways to pamper your body – massages, scrubs, saunas… the treatment list is long! But when the only salon you can visit is the one in your own bathroom, it’s a little trickier to get things right, not to mention harder to get motivated for. However, if your body is feeling dehydrated, irritated or simply a little neglected, here are the bod-boosting beauty products that will leave you feeling fresh...
Calming massage
Just because you can’t visit a masseuse doesn’t mean you can’t have a massage. This Raww Superfood Concentrate Massage Oil $29.95 is a hydrating, nourishing blend of carrier oils (almond, acai and pomegranate to name a few) and is all you need to DIY your own blend of massage oil. Simply use on its own or add your favourite essential oil to match your mood. Either way, you’ll feel like you’ve just stepped into a spa.
Luscious limbs
Get your skin smelling and looking like heaven with this
luxurious yet affordable Love Beauty and Planet Luscious Hydration Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower Body Lotion
$14 from your local Woolworths. Made from plant-based moisturisers with no parabens, silicones or dyes, it’ll give your skin a refreshing moisture boost and a glossy finish. It’ll soon be on your shopping list every week, it’s that good!
Tone up
Do you need to conceal imperfections just to sit on the couch? Not really. But will doing so help to boost your body confidence? Absolutely. A quick application of this Freezeframe Body Blur Summer Glow Skin Perfecting Airbrush and Body Contour
$59 will help to mask bruises, blemishes and veins while also offering a slimming, tightening effect.
Colour correcting tan
OK, OK so if a gradual tan isn’t quite enough colour pay-off for your liking and you want to ramp up the bronze, then nothing works quite the way a fresh layer of self-tan does! The Isle of Paradise Medium Glow Clear Self-tanning Mousse $42 is a lightweight mousse that applies clear and adjusts to your skin tone thanks to its colour correcting technology. So essentially you have your very own personalised glow! With zero transfer, and nourishing avocado, chia seed and coconut oils, it’ll be your new go-to.
Gradual glow
Like a lowmaintenance tanning option? A gradual glowboosting formula is perfect for you. They’re easy to apply, don’t require rinsing, won’t stain sheets and will give your skin a hit of hydration. We love this Australian made and owned Sunescape Gradual Tan Extender $33 because it gives a natural radiance while rejuvenating the skin with its blend of nourishing oils from the Kakadu plum and goji berry.
So handy
Our hands go throu through a lot, so if any body part deserves some extra pampering, it’s them. Infused with Bulgarian rose, pure shea butter and rose hip oil, the
Gold Mask Hand Revitalizing Hand Mask from Starskin $23 hydrates skin, softens cuticles and strengthens the nails. Smartphone addicts – this might just be the forced tech downtime you needed!
Skin is in
Detoxify dull looking skin with this delicious and gentle Sensori+ Detoxifying & Rejuvenating Sand Body Polish Bondi Beach $45.
White sand and raw sugar sweep away dead skin cells while hydrating avocado oil and brightening Kakadu plum work to leave skin glowy, hydrated and silky soft.
Sole mate
Our poor feet carry us around every day – they deserve this! Try Skin Republic Foot Peel
$15.99 – the treatment booties are packed with AHAS to slough off dead or cracked skin and leave your feet super soft. And if you’re into the peel-off mask phenomenon, let’s just say the peeling process will hit new levels of either satisfying or gross, depending on your squirm factor. For a hit of hydration, slap on Scholl Dry Skin Pedimask booties $4.99 for 20 minutes, infused with macadamia oil and shea butter.
