8 Easy Body Care Hacks
TO REFINE UNEVEN TEXTURE:
The Body Vitamin C, £55 | Nécessaire
If you’re struggling with persistently dull, rough-feeling skin, daily use of this smart formula can help. Formulated with 2.5% stabilised vitamin C to brighten things up, it also features tranexamic acid to reduce the appearances of dark spots and papain and bromelain extract to gently exfoliate and soften. The silky serum texture is another plus, sinking in as soon as it’s applied and with no sticky residue left behind.

TO TIGHTEN & FIRM:
Retinal ReSculpt Body Treatment, £79 | Murad
As well as using encapsulated retinal to kick start collagen production and improve elasticity, this clever body cream contains a complex that stimulates skin’s metabolism by mimicking the skin tightening, blood boosting effect of exercise. To help induce a bit of extra glow, there’s antioxidant-rich milk thistle extract in there, while shea butter, avocado oil and squalene hydrate and lock in moisture. Used diligently, you should see results in around eight weeks.

TO SOOTHE SUN-EXPOSED SKIN:
Petitgrain Reviving Body Gel, £31 | Aesop
When skin feels tight, hot and sore from too much sun, this refreshing gel is as cooling and calming as it gets. While aloe vera delivers instant soothing relief, panthenol is a powerhouse hydrator that reinstates skin barrier strength, improves hydration and quickly relieves that parched feeling. Anti-inflammatory witch hazel makes skin feel a little less angry and dampens down that tell-tale redness. To double down on its benefits, store it in the fridge.

TO REMOVE UNWANTED BODY HAIR:
V2 Laser IPL Hair Removal Device, £299 | Bondi Body
Not just content with permanently removing unwanted hair, this clever at-home IPL device also aims to improve skin texture and reduce imperfections including broken veins and hyperpigmentation. While you can choose from eight intensity settings, it promises to be painless, fast and with zero downtime. If you want to be hair-free by the summer, just bear in mind you’ll need around 12 weeks of regular usage to see results.

TO PROMOTE DEEPER SLEEP:
Deep Sleep Body Whip, £30 | This Works
Supercharge your nightly wind-down ritual with this enveloping body cream that not only softens skin on your body but prepares your mind for sleep too. While hemp seed extract and copper PCA support skin health and shea butter cossets, the brand’s signature Deep Sleep fragrance coupled with magnesium encourages a calmer, more relaxed state of mind.

FOR A SEAMLESS SHAVE:
Oil La La Brighten & Glow Body Oil, £33 | LeLive
Although this luxurious oil will leave your skin baby-soft and smooth, it’s not the only benefit. As well as brightening vitamin C and gently exfoliating ingredients to smooth out any bumpy bits of skin, it also contains a load of plant oils like moringa and avocado to improve elasticity and bakuchiol to help firm things up over time. It also leaves limbs with a gorgeously glossy sheen which lasts all day.

TO SCENT YOURSELF FROM TOP-TO-TOE:
Vanilla Smoke Body Mist, £38 | Phlur
This sweetly smoky fragrance spitz combines mouth-watering vanilla with notes of incense and amber to create a scent that’s heady and warm. To use, spray generously over arms, legs, décolleté and anywhere you want the scent to linger, including through your hair. It also works well if you need to refresh yourself or your clothes mid-way through the day.

TO TACKLE BACKNE & BLEMISHES:
SA Smoothing Cleanser With Salicylic Acid, £10.87 (was £14.50) | CeraVe
A shower essential if you struggle with body blemishes and unwanted breakouts, this gently foaming cleanser contains spot-busting salicylic acid to target bacteria that causes breakouts and keep pores clear. Hyaluronic acid helps hydrate so that skin feels supple, while the brand’s ceramide technology ensures the skin barrier is healthy and balanced, not tight and itchy.
