At Home in My Body
This year, we’re all about investing. Investing in ourselves, investing in our self-care - investing in the first and forever home that is our body. And while we believe mantras and self-care moments keep our body feeling its best, it never hurts to have a few bodycare products along for the ride. Taking time out to make our body feel like the safe space we’d love it to be, we’re turning to these rejuvenating body scrubs, velvety moisturisers and on-the-glow hand creams whenever we need a little pick-me-up.

Skinfix
Barrier+ Lipid-Boost Body Cream
Best for: Intense hydration
We love when a brand gives us a bodycare product that delivers the same results as their skincare - and this Lipid-Boost Body Cream does this and more. Enriched with healthy fats, like Shea Butter, Moringa Seed Oil, Colloidal Oatmeal, Essential Ceramide and so much more, it’s easy to see why this is an Allure Best of Beauty winner. And don’t be scared by the richness of the texture: it sinks in like a dream, leaving only super-soft, repaired skin in its wake.
