Layer on
the lotion
In our daily rush to get out the
door, many of us are guilty of
forgetting to apply body lotions or
creams on a regular basis – and if
you’re one of the rare people who
make it part of their daily ritual,
then we sing your praises. Locking
in your skin’s moisture by using
a lotion or a body cream is an
essential step in ensuring your
body stays hydrated, not to
mention smooth and soft – even
if your arms and legs are covered
up in your winter wardrobe.Try: Sukin Lime & Coconut

Body oils have a cult
following because they are
absorbed easily into the skin
and provide intense hydration
and nourishment. Generally, these
formulas are bursting with botanical
extracts that feed the skin as well as
protecting its surface, locking in all the
goodness. Handy hint? Apply the oil to
skin that is slightly damp.Try: Trilogy Pure Plant Body Oil,
