THREE WAYS TO NURTURE THE SKIN ON YOUR BODY

We spend so much time and effort nurturing the skin on our faces we sometimes overlook the rest of our skin, especially when it’s covered with winter layers. Resolve to do better with these new body care items that take tips from our favourite facial skincare products.

Sand & Sky’s Tasmanian Spring Water Wonder Body Lotion

This lightweight lotion uses Tasmanian spring water to fortify the skin’s natural moisture barrier with a wellbalanced source of calcium, magnesium and essential minerals. Fermented sea kelp from the waters near the island state is included to maintain youthful-looking skin and three types of hyaluronic acid aim to quench, replenish and smooth even the roughest dry patches.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Dream Body Cream

The jury’s out over whether this smells like real slices of fresh melon or the lolly equivalent. If you like a sweet scent, slather on this cream, which has extracts of the fruit and seed to hydrate, and hibiscus AHAs to slough dry flakes.

Drunk Elephant Sugared Koffie Almond Milk Scrub

Dry elbows, knees and heels are a menace at this time of year. This body scrub makes short work of them, buffing away dryness with raw sugar and finely ground coffee beans. It also delivers a blend of passionfruit, marula, jojoba, and coconut oils rich in vitamins and omegas plus almond milk ... all of which leaves skin soft, silky and supple and smelling like a latte.
