If you're tramping round Britain this summer with nothing but a backpack, this could be a godsend. Ditto if you're looking to pare a beauty regime right down – perhaps because of sensitivity, perhaps because your bathroom shelf is starting to resemble one of those 'penny' games in an amusement arcade, whereby one more thing is going to trigger a cascade.

Perfectly moisturising, and with the very, very lightest hint of a light citrus scent, from a brand with its roots in homeopathy, this has been specifically formulated for super-sensitive, dry and uncomfortable skins.

However, this gentle multi-tasker will go down well with many of you, we think. It can be used on face and body, nourishing with a combination of macadamia and evening primrose oils, purslane bioferment (to protect against free radical damage), and renowned skin-clambers chickweed and burdock, in botanical extract form.

Body lotion, facial moisturiser, hard skin treatment: Barefoot SOS Face & Body Rescue Cream does the lot (and just scrapes in under the in-flight liquids allowance, too).
