Body Creme, £32 | Ouai
Best For: A lightweight feel
Why We Rate It: The brainchild of A-list hair stylist Jen Atkin, Ouai’s body range is every bit as impressive as its haircare. The lightweight texture leaves skin feeling supple and baby smooth – making it one of our summer must-haves. Its floral ‘Shibuya’ scent – made with a blend of Mediterranean citrus, warm spices, violet, rose and white musk – is an added bonus.

Best For: Soothing
Why We Rate It: Formulated with a unique ‘gel cream’ consistency, shea butter, sesame and coconut oil combine in this body balm to coat skin and leave it feeling nourished and smooth. Meanwhile, vitamin E heals skin that’s irritated or sunburned, working as well on the face as it does on the body. It even included skin barrier protective qualities, thanks to added tomato stem-cell extract.
