Five Great.... Body Lotions.

I'm thinking of making these posts a regular feature (each obviously focusing on a different type of product, eg mascara, foundation etc...), so let me know if you find them helpful!

In no particular order...

1. Garnier Hydralock Lotion

Simply the best drugstore lotion I've tried that actually gives lasting moisture - If like me you suffer from dry skin, especially on your pins, and especially a couple of days after shaving, then this is a must try! My days of being kept awake by tearingly itchy legs are at an end thanks to this little beauty. Available in two formulas - for dry skin and normal-dehydrated skin. Also its as cheap as chips - a 500ml bottle usually retails for around £4.99 - currently half price in Superdrug, and needless to say I have stocked up heavily - this is a definite HG product for me!

2. Palmers Lotions

The classic version of this is of course the cocoa butter - which is a massive favourite of mine - it smells divine, and really really reminds me of chocolate and vanilla... For those for whom that sounds a wee bit too sickly though, this is also available in an olive version, which is a lovely fresh scent. The cocoa butter version is also available in a version which has SPF 15 - perfect for the British summer... The design of the bottle has also improved lately to have a flip top, rather than the long kneck, which used to make getting the dregs out of the bottle a bit difficult. I'm also a massive fan of their lip butter which I have also blogged about previously.

3. Body Shop Body Butters

A real treat, due to being slightly higher priced than a lot of comparable products, but available in a vast choice of "flavours" and versions for normal, dry and very dry skin. The Body Shop also regularly bring out various "special edition" scents such as pomegranite or cranberry at Christmas, and it's worth keeping an eye out for special offers online and in the shops to stock up on these - TBS butters are also a celeb fave - Cheryl Cole, Victoria Beckham and J-Lo are known to be fans.

4. Normandie Kieth's "Moisture Surge"

Available at Tesco's in the UK (Sorry, I'm not sure about availability outside the UK...). Normandie Kieth is also known in the UK for writing nauseating "yummy mummy" style columns in You magazine, however, unlike her column, I love her bodycare range! The deliciously clean and refreshing bergamot and grapefruit scent is just gorgeous in the summer, and a supermarket bargain to boot. Currently available in 500ml pump bottles (always a bonus!) at Tesco's on 3 for 2 - the sugar scrub is also a great buy... The range retails for around £5 for decent sized amounts of products.

5. Jergens Naturals

Appealing for all those who like their skin care natural - most of these carry over 90% organic ingredients. Hugely popular in the USA, these have been slow to catch on in the UK, however , they are well worth trying, as a little goes a long way, and they smell fresh and natural too...
