Basic body care

Choose a basic but hard-working body moisturiser to use every day, year round. Fancy formulas packed with expensive ingredients aren’t necessary to keep skin nourished and soft from top to toe. Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula Deep Moisture Body Lotion does the job well and keeps even the driest of skins moisturised and healthy. Its key ingredient is glycerine, which ensures moisture levels are topped up by attracting moisture from deeper layers of skin to store within the epidermis. The lotion has a creamy, non-greasy texture that is easily absorbed, so there’s no waiting around to get dressed after application. RRP £4.99, Johnson & Johnson, Neutrogena.co.uk.
