This time of year, we’re in a constant battle to keep our skin hydrated. We’re doing pretty well with our hands thanks to nourishing hand creams and cosy gloves, but our arms and legs (hidden as they are by tights and jumpers) are suffering. Dry, scaly skin? Not so attractive.
That’s why we’re newly enamoured with natural body washes that have built-in moisturising agents. Unlike traditional soaps, they cleanse skin without stripping it of natural oils – meaning you end up with soft skin even before you load on the body butter.
We’re especially keen on Korres Showergel, which many of our members will have a chance to try this month. It’s made with aloe, an ingredient best known as an aftersun soother but that actually keeps skin firm by promoting collagen and elastin production. (Read: firmer, more youthful limbs.) In addition, it has healthy vitamins C and E, and plant extracts sourced from Korres’ native Greece. It also doesn’t hurt that this foaming gel comes in delicious scents like Fig, Rose, and Guava.
