The Best Body Moisturisers for Silky Smooth Skin

If this summer has left your skin feeling dryer than the Sahara it’s time to take action.

Ok so we know the cooling weather may mean your limbs will be under cover for the foreseeable future but the winter months are actually the perfect time rejuvenate and revive your skin, ensuring they are in tip top condition by the time spring comes around.

One of the best ways to replace lost hydration is a daily dry body brush (our personal favourite is Mio Skincare’s Natural Dry Body Brush £15 ) to remove dead skin cells,  followed by an application of moisturiser straight away post shower while you skin is still slight damp. 

What’s more, with an array of new and improved formulas from light weight serums to nourishing oils and quick absorbing creams there really is a body moisturiser for everyone.

So no excuses, give your skin the TLC it needs now and your‘ll be reaping the rewards when winters over.
