Nourish Dry patches
Skin often loses its natural oils by factors such as the sun and drying effects of air conditioning, leaving it feeling dry and rough. Try rubbing Bio-Oil in to those areas that need some deep moisturisation such as knees, elbows and ankles. Bio-Oil ingredients include vitamin A and E with Calendula, Lavender, Rosemary and Chamomile oils, plus unique to Bio-Oil, PurCellin Oil™, to ensure they are easily-absorbed deep into the skin where they can provide essential hydration to summer skin. PurCellin Oil™ dramatically lowers the viscosity (stickiness and density) of the formulation to create a “dry” oil which is non-greasy.
Available from Boots, Superdrug, Tesco, Asda, Lloyds Pharmacy, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Waitrose, 60ml rrp £9.98, 125ml rrp £14.99, 200ml rrp £19.99
Nourish cracked heels
Dry and cracked heels can be uncomfortable, embarrassing and unsightly. They are commonly caused by a loss of ‘elasticity’ in the skin when dryness sets in, or when the skin thickens and cracks or breaks under pressure, which can occur through everyday activities such as walking and exercise. Eradicate those winter feet in time for the summer with Flexitol Heel Balm
Price £9.99
