Great Body Moisturisers for Dry Winter Skin

Caused by the drier cooler weather, dry winter skin is inevitable. While this is only one of the key Winter Beauty Problems, there are many ways you can help avoid dry winter skin. Regularly applying a moisturiser will help rehydrate your skin. For best results apply moisturiser after a warm bath as your pores are more open or after exfoliating. Increasing the amount of water that you drink will also help keep your body better hydrated. In the leadup to winter, we tested a range of body moisturisers for mums and here is what we think of them:

 

Skin Moisture Boost Lotion

The fast absorbing lotion restores and locks in moisture to visibly improve skin texture. Excellent in reducing flakiness and skin tightness. Enjoy healthy, hydrated and radiantly soft velvety skin that hydrates continuously for 24 hours and wear your skin with pride.

MD Says: The Skin Moisture Boost Lotion initially feels a bit sticky which is most likely from the lanolin, however this does disappear. There is a slight smell to the lotion, however I wouldn’t call it a fragrance. The lotion is designed for all types of skin including sensitive skin such as babies and eczema sufferers. I like the fact that it is non-comedogenic meaning that it won’t block your pores.

Coffee Coconut Scrub

This deliciously scented scrub leaves your skin beautifully moisturised and glowing. The caffeine in this scrub helps to plump the cells thereby reducing the appearance of cellulite. The coconut oil nourishes your body and the cinnamon is a natural antiseptic helping reduce the bacteria on your skin, helping to diminish spots and smooth out bumps and blemishes.

MD Says: The Scrub was easy to use. Dry in the pouch, it is easy to get the scrub and there is a slight coconut smell mixed into the coffee smell. Once you wash the scrub off, you can feel the coconut oil and your skin feels smoother and softer. The exfoliating properties will also help your skin absorb more moisturiser to give a better overall result.

Olive Body Moisturising Milk

A smooth antioxidant-rich cream with a blend of essential minerals and vitamins to prevent moisture loss and improve the skin’s natural structure. The Extra virgin olive oil and spring water help your skin to retain moisture, protecting it from dryness while green tea and vitamin E tone and hydrate the skin

MD Says: It has a very sweet smell and you can feel the oils seep into your skin immediately. The moisturising milk leaves only a soft, hydrated feel (not oily) on the skin with and overall sheen look. Both the green tea and vitamin E included would be beneficial for cuts and scars with daily use of the moisturising milk.
