Regular readers know that I have very dry skin and have to use body creams on a regular basis. And by regular basis, I mean at least once a day when it’s AW period, otherwise it [my skin] is dry and flaky (I have a certain skin condition).

This is why, although I love luxury products, high end body potions are not an option for an every day use, only as a treat, since that’d be too expensive.

My favourite affordable body lotion has to be Garnier Body Bodyrepair Anti-Dryness Restoring Moisturiser Extra Dry Skin (the one in the red bottle), it is brilliant!

However, recently I found another excellent product. Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Nourishing Body Lotion With Nordic Berry. I actually

Unfortunately, I have very dry skin so I have to use body moisturiser at least once per day.

Although I do love my luxury products, I  always like  finding something that works with a more affordable price, since I go through those very quickly, and that can be an expensive habit.

This is why I was very excited about Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier Body Lotion.

I have got mine for £9.10, but for some reason it retails for £13 now (for 200ml), which is a shame. Nevertheless, it is still not £30, or even £20.

So what is so special about it?

First of all, the

I have already mentioned Rituals Shanti Chakra Caring Body Oil Spray in my November favourites, and today  want to share about it in more details.

I wanted to get myself  a new body oil for AW season, and this one caught my attention. I have actually never tried anything from Rituals, which is a beauty brand from the Netherlands, so was excited  to give it a go.

First of all, take a look at the nice design and the convenience of the packaging. I love that you can actually spray the oil, without it getting all over the place.

The oil itself is non-greasy or sticky. I apply it on a slightly dampened skin after the shower or bath, and it takes several seconds to soak in (I have very dry skin), and leaves my skin nourished, smooth and soft.   I really wish they had more body oils with different scents, as I would

Since I have very dry skin, body moisturizer is a must have for me, otherwise my skin feels tight and looks patchy.

Today I want to show you the product that I have been using quite a lot recently - L’Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Lotion.

The texture is light and non-sticky  so it absorbs very quickly, at least this is the case with me. Besides shea butter, it also contains  natural honey and apricot oil which moisturize the skin and leave it smooth and soft.

However, for the cold season I find that

I am really loving Korres body products and buy them regularly. So when I saw that this season the brand offers a Fig collection set – I had to get it. The value is £20.50 but it retails for £15 which makes it a good deal, in my opinion.

So you get:

•  Korres Fig Showergel 250ml
• Korres Fig Body Butter 150ml

I haven’t tried Korres shower gels  before for some reason, so it was a nice discovery for me. Fig Shower gel is mild but at the same time cleanses really well and does not dry out the skin. The scent is amazing, it stays on the skin for some time but is not overwhelming.

As for the body butter – I have been a fan for a long time already. This butter, which is
