When it comes to skincare routines, body lotion is sometimes overlooked. Often, we choose our facial moisturiser very carefully, selecting separate products for day and night. But the skin on our body gets thirsty too – and moisturising it is the perfect excuse to build a little pampering into your daily routine. Here’s what to look for in a natural body lotion.
