I’ve been testing an array of nourishing, heeling, hydrating and pampering body products for every occasion and concern.

DR’s ORDERS:
This range is often recommended for sensitive and problem skin types, dry skins, eczema and flaking scalps and is recommended by dermatologists. If you suffer from a sensitive skin, why not try this non greasy, hydrating and fragrance free Hydra-Lac body lotion.
LOCAL:
Known for its Olives, Kloovenburg has developed a luxurious Olive Oil Range including a Body Butter and Body Lotion. I’ve been testing the body lotion and it’s silky and light with a subtle fragrance. The packaging makes it a lovely pampering gift!
SPA:
Heel the body and nourish and soften the skin with a Moor Neydharting mud wrap. With over 1,000 herbs, over 100 organic compounds and loads of trace elements, vitamins, phyto-hormones and essential oils, the mud aids as an anti-inflammatory, detoxifies, stimulates circulation and nourishes and softens the skin.
I had the most amazing experience at Liz Spa (021) 761-0759 in Chelsea Village, Wynberg trying out the mud wrap. The mud is really cold at first but an electric blanket and towels soon get you warm as you enjoy a 20 minute head massage while the mud works its magic. After a shower, lather in the Moor Intense Body Cream with natural botanicals and enjoy a 30 minute massage. I chose to just do my back, neck and shoulders, Robyn my therapist was amazing. She really worked on the knots in my shoulders.Remember to drink lots of water afterwards, as you may feel tired and dehydrated as the body detoxifies.
This is a body treatment must! (R550)
SLIM:
Target existing cellulite and minimize its chances of spreading with Lancome Slimissime 360. I love this light, easily absorbent cream-gel texture. It’s totally refreshing and a few minutes after applying it one can feel a cool/tingling effect. Achieve firmer, smoother and more shapely curves with Lancome Slimissime 360. Learn more here.
UNWIND :
Essential Oils of Lavender and Sandalwood provides a sense of calm after a stressful day as well as calming irritated skin. This soothing Dr Hauschka Lavender and Sandalwood Body lotion is really light and absorbent with a heavenly fragrance.
ORGANIC:
I’m nuts about The Victorian Garden body products. Using recipes from Victorian times, these products are 100% certified organic and use natural plant based products. There are loads of body products to choose from, from hydrating very dry skin, with the Double Rose and Rose Scented Geranium Body Butter with Shea butter, jojoba and organic rosehip and English Rose oil to a lighter zesty Lemongrass body lotion to uplift the senses. An incredibly fragrant lotion with some body! Not too light! Love it!
SCRUB:
Scrub the day away with this Hydrating Salt and Sugar Scrub from Malee. I’m loving this scrub for its large granules and paste like formula. It leaves the body hydrated, is antioxidising and rids those grey, winter, dead skin cells. Love! Find out more here.
KIDS:
Africology is bringing out a kids range. The body lotion has a subtle fragrance, and is the perfect consistency, not too thick or fluid to easily lather your babe in goodness.
