How can it be that we’ve been loving This Works Skin Deep Leg Oil for 20 years…? That’s 20 years of supple, soft skin – not just legs, because this oil works all over to nourish and hydrate stubbornly dry patches anywhere. (Having said that, it is spectacularly good for shins, which have no natural oils of their own and can become papery and dry if not given regular TLC).

No less than 19 botanical oils power this beauty classic – the base features peach kernel, coconut, jojoba, evening primrose and rosehip. It’s the fragrance that gets us every darned time, though – bergamot, frankincense, patchouli, rose, sandalwood and more, which (because we’ve been using this for sooooo long) has an almost Pavlovian ability to relax us, when used before bedtime.

But we’re delighted that this brilliant product just got a birthday upgrade. The bottle is 25% larger and 100% recyclable – and we’re also very taken with the new pump design: so easy to deliver just the right amount, to our thirsty limbs.

And we say: here's to the next 20 years of this particular love affair.
