The winter months take a real toll on our skin – especially our face and hands which are often exposed to the bitter wind, rain and snow that the UK can bring.  With summer just around the corner, we want to treat our skin to a really good spring clean so I have researched some great moisturisers that will definitely banish that post winter dryness.

Melvita and Ponds

These are two brands that can be, I think, occasionally overlooked by the masses.  This is a mistake! They are as accessible as brands like Simple, Nivea, Dove, Olay and Johnsons and every bit as affordable.

I recently got hold of Melvita’s Ultra nourishing body balm, Gentle Shower Gel and Lip Balm. There are many reasons why I like them so much.  For a start they are all organic and very kind to your skin.

The shower gels are all catered and labelled for different needs and desires, there’s a Beauty gel made with blackcurrant, pomegranate and cranberry extract.  Then there is an Energising gel with ginger, cherry and maca.  And an Exfoliating gel with Argon and orange.  Last but by no means least there is a Gentle gel. This Gentle gel is really soothing and smells incredibly fresh.  It is infused with sweet almond oil and floral waters of Rose and Poppy.  A complete range for skin care.
