Premium Spa Frangipani & Coconut Body Wash*
Everything starts in the shower. Firstly start with an
amazing scented body wash such as this Frangipani & Coconut Body Wash from
Premium Spa. I am not the biggest lover and not the biggest fan of coconut
scented products but luckily the frangipani is the dominating scent here, and I
love the scent of frangipani, one of my favourite flowers (that I despite of
several attempts still have been unable to grow in my garden in Melbourne).
This Australian made body wash is free from chemical nasties including parabens,
mineral oils and SLS, and it instantly transforms my bathroom into a tropical
paradise, and leaves my skin feeling clean without drying it out.

Another option is the Papaya, Quillaja & Apricot Body
Scrub from People for Plants. It is made from 85.4% organic ingredients, and contains micro beads of apricot in a
formula made from apricot kernel oil, macadamia seed oil, shea butter and aloe
vera, which helps moisturise and soothe the skin. It is loaded with vitamin A,
minerals, and Omegas 9 and 6, and the anti-oxidants from the papaya help to
protect the skin, while lime, lemon and orange peel essential oil helps tone
and uplift the skin and make it smell amazingly zesty and refreshing. And while
it contains physical granules to exfoliate the skin and slough away dead skin
cells, it is so gentle on the skin, yet it leaves it feeling soft and smooth
and radiant. I love that it is Australian made and owned, and has been made without sulfates, and you know
exactly how large percentage of certified organic are used in the product.

Premium Spa Frangipani & Coconut Sugar Body Scrub*
What better way to give your skin some glow and rid it from
all the dead skin cells than give it a good scrub. And this Frangipani &
Coconut Sugar Body Scrub Premium Spa is the perfect choice. It is made with
certified organic jojoba oil, and naturally exfoliating cane sugar, as well as
coconut and frangipani oils, and smells absolutely divine – The scrub has just
the right amount of sugar to give the skin a good buff getting rid of dead skin
cells, but without being too harsh, and once rinsed off, it is soft, smooth and
glowing, and luckily you can still smell the beautiful frangipani lingering on
your skin.

Serums are usually intended for the face and eye area, but
not this Protecting Serum for the Body from Boots. It has been designed with an
antioxidant complex with includes active anti-ageing ingredients including
lipo-peptides and white lupin that promises to help boost and maintain the
skin’s elasticity and leave it visibly smoothed. And after using it for just a
week, I can already see and feel how much softer and more radiant my skin is.
In spite of being called a serum, the serum has the consistency of a light
lotion, and it is quick and easy to spread over the skin, and instantly leaving
it feeling soft and with a nice sheen. It has next to no scent which I quite
like too, so it won’t clash with my perfume.
RRP: $19 (150ml) – Available from Amcal
You probably recall me declaring my love for the Aveeno body
products, and this Skin Relief Moisturising Lotion is no exception. Compared to
the other Aveeno body lotions this one is extra thick and creamy, targeting
extra dry and itchy skin (where were you when I was pregnant, and that belly as
so annoyingly itchy!!) , and it does take a little while to absorb into the
skin, but it instantly soothes the skin. And it is so perfect for winter, and
already after just a few uses the dry skin on especially my legs and shins is
back to its healthy self. And the cream makes sure to leave the skin feeling
soft and moisturised all day, without the need to reapply.
RRP: $12.99 (354ml) – Available from supermarkets,
Priceline and selected pharmacies
The Jojoba Company Tuberose + Clementine Body Souffle*
This body cream has the most gorgeous light and airy whipped
texture that is so lovely and luxurious to use. It contains hydrating Pure
Australian Jojoba, which is rich in antioxidant and Vitamins A, D+E,
softening cocoa butter, clementine and rose geranium to calm and soothe the
body and mind, tuberose Oil to stimulate blood circulation as well
as camellia seed oil for its anti-ageing effects.
The soufflé spreads so easily, and absorbs instantly into my
skin, yet in spite of being so light in consistency, it is extremely moisturising,
leaving my skin feeling smooth and velvety soft and all day. The souffle is Australian
made and free from chemical nasties, and it comes in an attractive frosted plastic tub that you
can easily mistake for being made of glass, so it looks quite deluxe. It has a
gorgeous fresh floral scent from the tuberose and you can also just detect a
slight hint of citrus from the clementine, and this scent lingers on your skin
for hour after you use it, so it’s perfect for those days where you don’t want
to use a perfume.

This body lotion is no ordinary body lotion, is an
anti-ageing body lotion for mature skin that thanks to organic
pomegranate seed oil, apricot kernel oil and shea butter that prevents
premature aging and stimulates cell renewal and protects skin from damaging
external factors. I really like that, using anti-ageing products on my face for
decades, I think it is about time to start using some on that old body too! It
comes in easy to use pump bottle and the thick cream makes the skin extremely
moisturised and feeling so velvety soft and smooth. It has a beautiful gentle
and fruity scent of pomegranate that continues to linger on the skin for long
after the cream has absorbed. After just a few days of use, my skin feels
incredible soft and subtle.

Luminesce Essential Body Renewal*
I have previously reviewed this body cream, and absolutely
adore it (check out my full review here). This body cream is another
anti-ageing body product, that not only gives your skin intense moisture, but
it also works as an anti-ageing treatment for the body at the same time. It
targets wrinkles, age spots and sagging skin, containing antioxidant botanicals
that help stimulate cellular renewal and protect the skin’s cells and encourage
the body’s natural processes to produce more collagen and elastin to make it
look younger. It absorbs instantly into the skin, leaving it feel incredibly
soft and smooth, and over time with continued use, skin does look significantly
younger and more even toned too. It comes in a gorgeous silver tube with a nifty
twist lid that makes it so easy to use.
RRP: $48.35/150ml – Available from Jeunesse Global
Elemis Japanese Camellia Body Oil Blend*
If you want to splurge a little more and like to use a body
oil, this Japanese Camellia Body Oil Blend from Elemis is nothing short of
amazing. The aromatherapy oil is the ultimate multi-tasking product, suitable
for absolutely everything from caring for your nails and cuticles, to taming
and adding moisture to hair and scalp and keep your skin soft and moisturised,
and not to forget, it may help reduce the appearance of
scars and assist in the prevention of stretch marks – and as it is free from
chemical nasties and contains no parabens, SLS or SLES, DEA, mineral oil,
artificial colours or silicones, it is perfectly suitable for use during
pregnancy too. I so wish I’d come across this before, and especially while I
was pregnant. It has the most gorgeous and gentle floral scent from the
camellia, and the lightweight oil absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it so
incredibly soft and with a nice sheen. And as I love the scent so much, I do
enjoy using it as a cuticle oil too, so I can smell it on my hands, and when
I’m done, I simply smooth any remaining oil over my hair to tame any frizz and
give my hair a moisture boost too. It comes in a beautiful red glass bottle
that looks stunning in the bathroom, and it has a small spout allowing you to
get just the amount of oil without any wastage. Just beautiful!

ModelCo Everyday Gradual Tan*
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I have to admit,
that I am not the biggest fan of self-tanners, and the main reasons are that I
rarely have time to take the time to apply it to make sure it is streak-free,
and secondly, that I am just not that fond of the smell that develops along
with the tan. But in saying that, there is no denying that in the midst of
winter and my skin gets paler and paler, I do feel that I consequently also
look more washed out and consequently more tired too. And that’s when I give in
and reach for a good self-tanner. A good suggestion is the Everyday Gradual Tan
from ModelCo that is like a body moisturiser that goes on clear, and within a
few hours a tan is gradually developing – and as it is a gradual tanner, where
you can slowly build up the colour by using it every day, or ever few days once
you’ve got the desired colour and to maintain the colour, there is no risk of
getting a streaky look either. And you get such a nice natural looking colour
that doesn’t look orange of make you look like an oompa loompa. And the beauty
is that you technically can skip using your usual body lotion to save time,
although I do recommend using a cream on dry areas of the body first. The cream
has a fresh fruity scent and while slight scent does develop during the day
along with the tan, the scent of the cream does somewhat mask this.
RRP: $14.95 (230ml) – Available from Priceline, Woolworths,
Target, selected pharmacies and ModelCo Online

Love the range of products, I really want to try People for Plants and The Jojoba Company... and the Elemis body oil sounds incredible!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie - all beautiful products, so its hard to pick my favourite. But the Elemis Body Oil is very luxurious, while the Jojoba Company and the People for Plants are more purse friendly, but products still so lovely!
