Body skin is generally not a pretty sight right now.

Dry, dusty, and a l-o-n-g way off being bareable. Clothes physically wick moisture from skin, while the fact that we tend to scuttle out of our day clothes and into our PJs as quickly as possible doesn’t exactly make for lengthy, languid application of product to thirsty limbs… (Not if you live in old, draughty, window-rattly houses like we do, anyway.)

But this is such a joy, we recommend turning up the heat in the bathroom or bedroom and indulging in a proper body-nourishing session with this. It literally ticks all our bodycare boxes: rich but not heavy, sinks in fast but not too fast, lavishes skin with no less than EIGHT plant butters and oils (including avocado/sesame/rice bran oils, cocoa and shea butters).

Liz Earle Skin Replenishing Body Balm also smells lightly but wonderfully aromatic in that familiar Liz Earle way, with notes of basil, eucalyptus and cardamom. (We bought a jar of this ourselves in John Lewis yesterday where there was a Lavender & Vetiver limited edition on sale, but much prefer the scent of this. A bit too lavender-y, the other one, in our humble…)

Your skin’s going to love it so much, it may even write you a thank-you letter.
