The Best Bodycare Buys to Recharge & Rejuvenate
As the weather cools and our daylight hours shorten, October is the perfect time to take some inspiration from nature and spend some time reseting, recharging and rejuvinating. While this process is important in all areas of lives, our skin is one area that can quickly reap the benefit of a little R&R, especially following the long hot summer of 2022.
Months spent soaking up the sun, swimming in chlorinated pools and cooling off in air-conditioned spaces, can leave our skin feeling tight, dry and more than a little lacklustre come Autumn. And while we my be fastidious about applying SPF to our faces, we are often a little more slap dash when it comes to our bodies.
While this lack of due care and attention may come at a cost the good news is, that body care has rapidly caught up to facial care over the last fews years and it is now possible to undo some of those nasty side effects in the comfort of your own bathroom.
