As we enter the summer months, the BD team trial a range of body products helping make our skin smooth and supple from top-to-toe.
Some girls have 1D, some have the Biebs, but my loyalties lie with frank body. I scream just like any hormonal 15-year-old fangirl when my frank parcels arrive - for what that coffee scrub lacks in singing skills he makes up for in making my epidermis baby soft. A blend of ground coffee beans, sweet almond oil, vitamin E, and sea salt intermingle in the scrub - which sloughs away pesky dead skin cells that can’t take a hint. frank leaves behind an oily residue on your skin that will see you saying “bye felicia” to scars, stretch marks, skin conditions and blemishes - if you don’t believe me just take a look at #thefrankeffect and @frankfeedback, which is blowing up the internet with its before and after shots. - Sarah
Weleda Reviving Bath Milk - Pine
I love nothing more than to treat myself after a manic week at work with a body and soul-soothing bath (paired with a glass of wine). Weleda’s Pine Reviving Bath Milk hugs me from the inside out with its aromatic essential oils of silver fir and Siberian pine helping to destress my mind, refresh my senses and moisturise my skin. Certified natural and free from synthetic ingredients makes this a big win and I have no hesitation in making this part of my weekly Weleda ritual! - Sophia
Summer is finally here and with it comes parties, days at the beach and, let's face it, a lot less clothing. This, combined with the fact that I tend to sway towards the dry skin category, means a body scrub is an absolute must. Sanctuary Spa’s Spa Essentials Salt Scrub worked wonders on my skin as it polished and removed any dead cells and left it feeling incredibly smooth and moisturised. The scrub uses sea salt from the Dead Sea combined with jojoba, coconut and almond oils to soak into the skin and leave it smelling divine. After a session in the shower with this wonder, my skin was glowing and I felt ready to model my summer wardrobe. - Laura
It’s funny because my face is only a small portion of my skin and I slather a plethora of creams, oils and serums on it morning and night, however, the rest of me gets a simple body cream once a day and nothing else. Why do we neglect our skin so!? Why does our face get different potions to combat different things yet the rest of us gets a one-hit-wonder slapped on haphazardly when we remember? Enter the Ultraceuticals Ultra Retexturising Body Complex, a serum that works to deeply hydrate and exfoliate skin to improve the appearance of dullness and softness. The formula contains lactic acid (AHA) to resurface and smooth skin, as well as vitamin B3, salicin and vitamin E to combat the signs of ageing. I’ve been using it for only a week now (under my regular cream) and have already noticed a difference in the texture of my skin. My face isn’t the only thing glowing anymore, my body has never looked better! - Kelly
JERGENS®
With friends raving about this cream and the other girls in the office grabbing the tube whenever it arrives on our desks, I knew that the JERGENS BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream must be pretty special. Promising to deliver “All-in-one body skin perfection”, the BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream has five key benefits including hydrating and smoothing, brightening and illuminating, evening skin tone, visibly firming skin, and minimising the appearance of imperfections. I’m starting to see why it’s such hot property! And I have to say, it has won me over too. I love its silky smooth texture on my skin, and my legs are already starting to look healthier. I’m joining the ravers... - Yelena
