St Ives 24 hour body lotion

As you already know I am a huge St Ives fan and especially of the Radiance Cleansers (thank you so much Helen from St Ives sending some to me as they are now discontinued - they are my HG in the morning to wake me up!) I have also discovered a new favourite, which is similar to Garnier Hydralock - 24 Hour Moisture Body Lotion (£4.20). My legs always seem to get really dry underneath trousers (why is that?!) so I have to religiously moisturise twice a day to keep them smooth. The body lotion is "specially formulated with Hydratein, an exclusive protein complex that hydrates dry, flaky skin, replenishing it and infusing it with long-lasting moisture." Like Hydralock, its keeps your skin really smooth and moisturised for 24 hours and smells lovely too. It is also easily absorbed, which is important when moisturising as I hate products that take ages to rub in.

I recommend this body lotion if you have dry skin that needs a bit of TLC - and it is priced reasonably under £5 but not as cheap as Hydralock though.. Who else has tried this product - any thoughts?

Introducing St Ives Elements Collection

I love St Ives Scrubs and their face scrubs - they make my skin feel so smooth and really clean! Their latest range is called Elements and is a range of premium facial exfoliators with naturally active ingredients. Combining the very best elements of nature, the three latest scrubs, Microdermabrasion, Olive and Warming, gently cleanse, exfoliate and nourish to reveal healthy younger looking skin. 

My favourite is the green Olive scrub which gently exfoliates away dead skin leaving it re-energised, moisturised and smooth.  It contains olive oil, olive leaf extract and natural jojoba bead exfoliants that allow it be used daily, giving skin a healthy glow every morning.  The Warming scrub leaves skin with a natural glow as it quickly warms on contact with water to relax pores for a luxurious deep, exfoliating clean. The gentle extracts of sunflower and chamomile smooth and calm skin as the all natural exfoliants - sugar crystals and jojoba beads - remove impurities and dull skin cells. Mild cleansers then lather into a creamy foam to wash away pore-clogging dirt and oil, leaving skin clean, fresh and radiant. I do like the warming scrubs as they really feel like your skin is getting a good clean!

The Elements range is available now with prices around £4.99 which is great value for a natural, paraben-free face scrub.
