You only have to look at my skin care routine (part 1 & part 2) to know that when it comes to my face, I really look after it. This is probably because the skin on my face is far from perfect.. In fact, it's pretty much a mess! But for some reason, I've never really looked after the skin on my body that well. I do exfoliate it twice a week and before now, I'd apply moisturiser 3 times a week but that was all. And recently it's occurred to me that I should actually look after the skin on my body too. After all, it's not just the face that ages!
L'Oreal Perfect Slim Anti-Cellulite + Firming Body Gel - I must say, I haven't noticed that much of an improvement in the appearance of my skin but to be honest, I haven't been monitoring it very well. I started using this moisturiser a few weeks ago when I went back home and the reason it struck me was because it's a body gel. I don't have dry skin on my body in fact, the skin on my body would definitely be classed as 'normal.' And this gel is perfect because it isn't too heavy and you can really work it into the skin nicely. It does leave a sort of 'tingling' sensation on the skin once applied which is nice as you know it's working. It's very refreshing, cooling and also moisturising.
Astral All Over Moisturiser: Light & Creamy* - I'd noticed this moisturiser on the shelves when I first started working at Boots and for some reason, it jumped out at me. The simple packaging really caught my eye and I fell in love. I knew I wanted to try it but whenever I did my *weekly* shopping in Boots, I'd forget about it as normally, I walk past the body moisturisers. So when this found its way into my post box the other week, I shrieked in excitement! It's a lovely thick moisturiser that is very light and creamy (hence the name) on the skin. It hydrates and conditions the skin leaving it feeling soft and supple. It's non-greasy and quickly sinks into the skin. And the aloe vera and vitamin E makes it perfect for sensitive/ageing skin. I must also talk about the fragrance; very light but very refreshing and subtle.
