We can’t put it off any longer. The time has come to bring our skin back from its winter slumber, laying fallow under layers of knits and ready to face the world in our spring wardrobe of lighter layers, bare legs and sleeveless tops. If your skin is anything like ours, it is going to need a little bit of TLC to get it back up to speed – think smoothing, hydrating body care. Healthy, radiant skin shouldn’t just be reserved for the neck up: limbs that glow and skin that feels peachy, bouncy and full of vitality will help to put a spring in our step as the weather warms.

6 Ingredients To Look Out For In Your Bodycare Buys



Niacinamide?
If you are hoping to improve your skin’s overall health, a body lotion with niacinamide can help strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier, reducing redness, dryness and improving moisture retention.

Glycolic Acid
If you need to shed some dull, winter skin, a glycolic acid body wash is a great way to shift those dead skin cells to reveal new, healthy skin.

Salycylic Acid
If you are self-conscious about body blemishes, a daily wash with a salicylic acid content will effectively but gently help to unblock pores and clear up breakouts.?

Caffeine
Caffeine, just like in your morning cuppa, is great for wakening up hibernating skin and giving it is bounce back, with a tightening, de-puffing effect.

Retinols?
A popular skincare ingredient, retinol in bodycare is a powerful tool for reducing dark spots, crepey skin and improving firmness. Great for targeted treatment of the arms and décolleté.

Gradual Tanners
A safe way to add a hint of colour to white-washed winter skin, a gradual tanner is brilliant for the start of summer when you don’t want to look too bronzed but crave just a hint of colour.
