Happy November Skin

Yep! It's that time of year where the cold sets in and I m left reaching for a moisturiser that delivers. That's not as easy as it looks!

I have a criteria for buying:

Price
Fragrance
Easy to apply
Non-greasy
Absorbs well

As I do the bulk of my shopping online due to work commitments it's so important I get this right. However along the way I 've tried and tested a few brands and spent a fair bit to get the
'holy grail' of moisturisers. So here's my favourite five:

Sanctuary Spa White Lily and Damask Rose Body Lotion

This smells absolutely amazing! I fell in love with the fragrance a few months ago. Applying the cream is easy and absorbs nicely. Not the absolute best for leaving skin smooth, but the smell alone is just stunning. Kind of like sweet rose and vanilla pudding. Price is great value at £5.50 from Boots. If you buy from Boots they often do 3 for 2 deals, so always chance to get more.


Ren Moroccan Rose Otto Body Lotion

This is an amazing lotion. It's completely vegan all natural ingredients and free of any nasty chemicals. Not tested on animals...massive thumbs up here! The fragrance is fresh roses. The application is light and smooth in texture. It does give amazing softness, but price wise, the lotion is around £26 so a luxury item.


Nuxe 24 hour Moisturizing Body Lotion

This is a winner for me the smell is, of course amazing, hints of orange blossom and almond blossom, combined with the silky luxuriant texture...its heaven in a bottle! The texture is light and creamy, absorbs quick and skin is so, so soft afterwards. Its great for dry or combination skin. This cream is available at M & S, Boots and Nuxe.com for around £16.50.


Body Shop - Wild Argan Oil Body Lotion

This is a pleasant smelling, lightly fragranced lotion, ideal if your not a fan of strong smelling creams. However, the lotion delivers great moisturising properties and is light and easily absorbed. The lotion costs around £8 for 250ml. It's great for dry skin. The Wild Argan Oil Body range includes; body scrub, hair mask, body butter and body wash.


Cowshed Wild Cow Invigorating Body Lotion

This is an excellent body lotion for a pick me up feeling. The lotion contains lemongrass, ginger and rosemary. These ingredients really do awaken you! The lotion is oil-free and is extremely moisturising. Cowshed offer, a fantastic range of unique fragrances lotions and are well worth trying...they do not disappoint! Cowshed range is available at Lookfabtastic.com, feelunique.com
and M & S for around £18-£20.
