What do you look for in a body cream?
We like products that smell great - layering scent is the secret to a fresh aroma that will last all day - have a texture that sinks into the skin rather than remaining on the surface to end up on our clothes, are easy to apply - that morning routine is already hurried enough - and keep skin glowing and moisturised all day long.
Our favourite brands include Palmer's Cocoa Butter and Dove Essential Nourishment, while ingredients worth looking out for include shea butter, cocoa butter, argan oil, rose oil and marine extracts.
The Champneys Spa Indulgence range, available at Boots, includes Distant Shores Body Butter, which is another exotically scented, thick yet easily absorbed treatment that's also worth looking out for if you need a powerful blast of moisture to keep dry patches at bay.
The following products are all tried and tested so we know they're up to the job.
