Cleansers & Shower
The smell of this is absolutely gorgeous — warm and cosy without being overpowering. Leaves skin feeling soft and moisturised after every shower.
Dove Shea Butter & Warm Vanilla Body Wash
A lovely everyday body wash that smells really nice and is very gentle on the skin. I also love their Coconut & Milk version — both are great affordable options.
Palmolive Milk & Honey Shower Gel Body Wash
This one stands out because it leaves your skin feeling genuinely fresh and renewed — the AHA makes a real difference to skin texture over time. Great affordable option for brighter body skin.
Palmolive Skin Radiance Avocado & Honey Shower Gel
A game changer for back acne, the benzoyl peroxide really works to prevent and clear breakouts and also helps fade the dark spots they leave behind. I've also heard it helps with underarm odour although I used it specifically for my back. Important n...
PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10%
A great UK alternative to PanOxyl that's easy to find in Boots and pharmacies. Works really well for body acne and dark spots left behind from breakouts. Same warning as PanOxyl — keep it away from your towels!
Acnecide Face Wash Gel 5% Benzoyl Peroxide
I use this before my body wash to make sure I'm properly clean — it lathers really nicely and leaves skin feeling fresh. A classic that never lets you down.
Dove Pink Beauty Cream Soap Bar
Exfoliants
A really effective physical scrub that isn't too harsh — it buffs away dead skin without leaving it feeling raw or irritated. Perfect for smoother skin without overdoing it.
Dove Crushed Macadamia & Rice Milk Body Scrub
Love the fresh smell on this one — it makes the whole shower feel like a little spa moment. Great for an occasional treat alongside my regular exfoliation routine.
Dove Bath Therapy Glow Body Scrub
I use this every 3-4 days for more regular exfoliation between scrubs — it makes such a difference to skin texture and is so much more sustainable than single use scrubs. A total game changer.
Exfoliating Mitt
Shaving
Gives the most amazing lather and smells gorgeous — makes shaving feel like much less of a chore. My legs feel so smooth afterwards.
Satin Care Olay Shaving Gel Dry Skin Vanilla 200ml
Love this because you don't need to keep buying disposable razors — much better for the environment and gives a really close shave. A sustainable swap I'd recommend to everyone.
Camelie Eco: Camelie Shaving Products
A great option if you prefer a razor with replaceable heads rather than fully disposable ones — much better for the environment and your wallet. I've since switched to the Camelie eco razor but this was my go-to before and I'd still recommend it for ...
Gillette Venus ComfortGlide Sensitive Razor
Moisturisers
My go-to body moisturiser as well as my face — deeply hydrating without feeling greasy. Especially good in winter when skin gets really dry.
Moisturising Cream Pot for Dry & Very Dry skin | CeraVe UK
A lovely everyday lotion that smells beautiful and absorbs quickly — no greasy residue which I love. Great for keeping skin soft between deeper moisturising sessions.
Dove Smoothing Care Coconut Oil Restoring Body Lotion ...
Really deeply moisturising with a lovely smell — great for when your skin needs some extra hydration. Does exactly what it says on the bottle.
NIVEA Rich Nourishing Body Lotion
A more clinical option that's brilliant for very dry or sensitive skin — E45 is a trusted brand and this rich cream really delivers on moisture. Good one to have on hand for drier patches.
E45 Daily Care Rich Lotion
Deodorants
Does exactly what it promises — keeps you fresh all day without leaving white marks on dark clothes or yellow stains on white ones. A staple I always come back to.
NIVEA Black & White Invisible Clear Roll-On
A brilliant natural alternative that genuinely keeps odour away all day. No nasty chemicals, lasts forever and so much better for sensitive skin.
Crystal Deodorant Classic
Hand
Keeps hands really well moisturised and smooth — the smell is absolutely lovely too. I always notice a difference when I use this consistently.
Garnier Hand Repair Intensive Restoring Hand Cream
This is the one to reach for when hands are really dry — a tiny amount goes a really long way and it's unscented which is great for sensitive skin. I especially rely on this in winter when my hands need serious moisture. A total staple.
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream
Body SPF
An affordable and reliable body SPF that moisturises at the same time — no excuses not to wear sunscreen when it's this easy and accessible.
NIVEA SUN Protect & Moisture Lotion SPF50+
A great everyday body SPF that doubles as a moisturiser — absorbs well and doesn't feel sticky or greasy. Good affordable option from Boots.
