Ultimate Moisture from The Body Shop

A couple of weeks ago, my parents came to stay.  I hadn't seen them for quite a while, so it was really lovely to catch up & therefore, I was off social media & blogging radar for a bit.  But, that didn't stop me from conjuring up some blogging ideas!

Anyway, here's one of them....

My father, who is maturing in years (I'm being polite here with regards to his age, just in case he reads this!) has noticed his skin becoming rather dry.  In my day to day life, while I'm not blogging, I am a mobile beauty therapist & part of my training qualified me to be a skin specialist.  I advised my dad that as you get older, your skin loses it's natural elasticity, becomes thinner & therefore more drier & at risk of damage.  You should always be very careful with your skin & treat it as very precious.

I recommended that we pick up a very thick cream for him to slather on regularly to keep the moisture in, especially after showering & during these cooler months when central heating & the weather can wreak havoc on skin.

So, the place I instantly thought of was The Body Shop - I have always had a passion for all things natural (my dad would agree too!) & their lovely natural ingredients will always do the job!  And of course, what better than their fabulous range of body butters!

I went for the Shea body butter - not just because it's their best seller, but because shea is recommended for very dry skin.  It gives 24 hour hydration & has a lovely scent which is not overpowering or off putting - & more importantly for my dad using it - it's not a "girly fragrance"!!

The key ingredients include obviously shea butter, cocoa butter, beeswax & an oil called Barbassu, so it is super moisturising.

Even after just the first use, my father couldn't believe the difference in his skin.  It no longer felt tight, dry or itchy.  It really has given a healthy look & a great suppleness to his skin, so he is more than happy & has been using it ever since.

The Body Shop do have a great range of body butters in all different scents, so theres one to suit everyones tastes & needs.

After seeing the results of the body butter on my father's skin & also on myself - I've used them for years - I'd highly recommend.

Have you tried them?  Which scent is your favourite?  I'd love to know!
