No one is born with perfect skin. And over time as our skin and body undergo life-changing experiences it stretches, scars and ages. It does, after all, serve a rather large function of keeping what’s inside our body, inside.
It’s time to start looking after our bodies and giving back what it needs – vitamins, minerals, and of course, love and attention. These body products could help bring back your skin’s luminous vitality.

Great tips!
Always use the bio-oil on my face at night. An absolute must for replenishing the essential oils that are stripped away through cleansing and the harmful rays of the sun. Everyone should have a bottle. Use it on your face, body, hands – it’s truly a miracle oil.
Great article.
Love the Nivea Body Lotion
i too love oils especially during winters and if have time take warm olive oil and massage and then take a bath, keeps skin smooth and supple and not oily.
Very informative. Thanks!
Love the body shop oil, shea scent is a bit lighter, i love it! And the body butter, which leaves a lovely glow to your skin. Delon body butter olive smells amazing, and can get it for R15 at dischem. Sweet almond oil is also amazing for moisturising.
Nivea always leaves my skin feeling great
Most of our family member suffer from dry skin. These products are a must try for us.
I love body oils, especially the vanilla one from Tranquil Body Treats. :)
I love the Body shop’s beautifying oil, they smell nice too.
