Softly Body - moisturizing picks

Tweet

Winter is fast approaching! This week Dubliners are being treated to rain, darkness and general "ugh" when waking up in the mornings.

With this cold creeping in, your body is going to need that extra hit of moisture, extra protection from the elements is required and something extra to combat that dreaded winter dryness.

Here are my 4 picks for this season!



1. Green Angel Seaweed Body Lotion

I reviewed this guy previously, and it is an absolute beauty - with natural oils of Neroli and Chamomile and seaweed extract you will be smelling and feeling like a queen.

2. Body Shop Beautifying Oils

Made from amazing quality oils, this collection consists of 10 difference scents. If you're like me and you love matching shower-body items then these are for you. They smell divine and work best on wet showered skin.

3. Lush Dream Cream.

This guy smells like no other - calming ingredients chamomile and lavender soothe the senses. A light formula, this guy is non greasy on the skin, but it does it's job well!

4. Bomb Cosmetics Cocoa Beach

This guy smells like heaven - coconut, and citrus feature heavily and it's buttery thick formula melts into the skin. A wonder product!

Green Angel - Seaweed Body Lotion

Tweet

Recently, I was sent this amazing body lotion to review.

Green Angel are a truly Irish company providing exclusive seaweed and essential oil based beauty products. All ingredients are sourced and hand made in Ireland. Buying Irish is really important to me. In these times, it is important to be mindful of where your money is going, and I really like to give back to Irish companies. I have been familiar with Green Angel for quite some time now, first coming across their stand at the Fairyhouse market some years ago.

Developed by husband and wife duo; Mary and Chris; Green Angel has been awarded the "Guaranteed Irish" logo - this is a very sought after award!

Based in Rathcoole, County Dublin, this company has 33 products ranging from skin care and spa products to hair care products. Everything is handmade at source with essential oils and ingredients from the sea to nourish your skin. Great care is taken with each product to meticulously combine the rejuvenating benefits of seaweed extract, harvested from the unpolluted waters off the West coast of Ireland, with all the benefits of natural high quality essential oils to deliver a collection of results based products to make you look and feel refreshed and beautiful all day long.

I received this beautiful Seaweed body lotion.

This lotion, enriched with Neroli and Chamomile is the perfect after-bath lotion. It smells like pure relaxation. I applied liberally to arms, legs and all in between, smothering myself in moisture before getting into bed. Sea Lavender is listed in the ingredients, a scent that instantly relaxes me.It has a rich milky consistency, melting into the skin like butter. My boyfriend loves this particular lotion, so I may have to hide it from him. He has come to me a few times now, lotion in hand after his showers, asking me to apply to his back!

I can see myself repurchasing this one for sure.. especially come winter months, when I am having my tri-weekly baths!
