A quick and easy way of making your skin look and feel good is in the form of a body moisturiser. Keeping the skin on the body hydrated gives it a smoother feel and a natural glisten. Not to mention you feel more comfortable in a moisturised body compared to a dry one. Throw on a good body scrub before the lotion/cream/oil stage gives even better results. No wonder I love body products so much! So what were my favourite body care products in 2023?
Glow’s Amber & Lavender Body Butter
I was lucky to be gifted Glow’s Amber & Lavender Body Butter. Angela from Glow wanted me to test this out as it was a new product at the time. What I found was this body butter was rich and solid in texture but melted into the skin like a dream. And the fragrance? Honestly? One of the best things I have ever smelt! Soothing, calming, fresh, a little musk, slightly sweet…stunning!
Safa’s Skin Therapy Oil
An affordable (69p from Home Bargains), alternative to a traditional body moisturiser was Safa’s Skin Therapy Oil. Moisturising enough to use on it’s own or ideal to layer with other body products. This wasn’t heavy and too greasy, with an aromatherapy style fragrance to it. This was a good buy.
Glow’s Raspberry Candy Floss Body Butter
This body butter from Glow was just as good as the Amber & Lavender Body Butter version but different. Just as moisturising but the texture was a little different and more body butter like in consistency compared to Amber & Lavender Body Butter, which was a little more whipped. The fragrance of Raspberry Candy Floss Body Butter was mouth wateringly good and smelt as you would expect a candy flossed scented product to smell like!
Glow’s Defence Moisturiser
Glow’s Defence Moisturiser was a brilliant product to use especially during the Summer. I didn’t always want to use heavy and greasy body creams, especially when my skin was feeling hot and irritated. This was light weight but had a slight slip to it, cooling on the skin with a fresh, minty fragrance.
Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub By LUSH
My first, and hopefully not my last, body scrub from LUSH (given to me by a friend). I have never used a scrub like this before. The colour was crazy (bright blue), the texture was almost jelly like and the fragrance was an earthy floral scent which was amazing. Plus it did a great job exfoliating my skin leaving it smooth and hydrated.
So these are my favourite body care products of 2023. I wonder what new products I will find to try out in 2024? Can’t wait!
