13 Of The Best Body Products For A Head-To-Toe Glow

Skincare shouldn't stop at the chin. Try these body products for all-over TLC.

How much of your beauty budget is dedicated to facial skincare? From cleansers and masks, to serums and creams it seems we’re happy to invest in a multi-step routine in the quest for a clear complexion – yet the story couldn’t be more different when it comes to the rest of our bodies.

Other than, perhaps, a quick swipe of cream up your shins when they're looking a bit scaly, a liberal layer of aftersun when you under-stepped the mark on SPF, or the very occasional blob of hand cream when you actually remember to pop it in your purse, we tend to neglect the skin from the chin down. We get it, it's not on show (as much), it doesn't generally get subjected to sun damage, and, well, who has the time? But with a host of innovative products that are not only easy to use (one you literally just drizzle in the bath. What could be simpler?) but more importantly, that transform your body's texture, tone and hydration, there's really no excuse for slacking on the application.

So forget that lonely old tub of moisturiser at the back of your bathroom cabinet, from luxe multitaskers for full body TLC to heavenly scented lathers that will have you daydreaming about your next rinse, this is how we're elevating our legs, bums and tums this for the winter season. Meet the ten best products to smooth, improve and add serious glow from head-to-toe.

Biossance Squalane + Enzyme Sugar Body Scrub

We know it's easy to fall victim to over-exfoliation, especially when it comes to abrasive (but kind of addictive) physical scrubs. After all, who doesn't like that baby smooth, post-shower feeling? Luckily, modern melt-away textures mean you can tackle your most textured areas without upsetting your skin's natural barrier. Take this squalane smoothie, for example; its melting sugar crystals deliver all the skin-softening benefits of a gentle scrub but then dissolve into an enzymatic pomegranate rinse. Two-step exfoliation without the extra leg work.
