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

My skin is very dry and in winter I have to use a cream or butter (yes, the lotion is not enough) at least once a day.

I have tried several Clarins body moisturisers over years and their Extra-Firming Body Cream is my absolutely favourite. In fact, this is one of the best creams I have ever tried.

This is a rich cream, which is almost like a butter, but it doesn’t feel greasy or oily at all.  According to Clarins, the product should lift, tone and comfort, and it does.

My dry skin absorbs it pretty quixkly and doesn’t leave any residue. I personally really love the nice and subtle scent which would not conflict with your perfume.  Skin on my body feels very nourished,

My love affair with Cowshed continues, this time I have picked up their Lazy Cow Soothing Bath & Body Oil. It is originally £20 for 100 ml but, since it was on sale for around £14, I had to get it.

This oil contains essential oils of jasmine, chamomile and sandalwood. I personally really love the relaxing and calming woody oriental scent. It is quite subtle and not as concentrated as I’d like it to be, but it’s still nice.

Multi-purpouse  products are always a win-win situation, so, as you can guess, I am very happy with my purchase.

As my skin is very dry, this is a God-sent product for me. I use it as a bath oil, as a body oil and as a massage oil.

I’d like to mention that
