Best Buy: Olay Quench with shimmer has been keeping my skin super soft and slightly sparkly for the past 7 years. The body wash is great too! In my handbag I use a free Victoria’s Secret sample I got that has proven to be a great find! Love My Body Amazing All Over Body Lotion: Jasmine and Water Lily (apparently it’s been discontinued!). For my lips I use standard blue Chapstick brand lip balm . And I still haven’t figured out how to save my cuticles from hangnails.
Price: Quench $7.67; Chapstick 3 for $3.00
Sold By: Walgreens!
Sophie
Ethnicity/Skin Color: White as Snow.
Hair Type: Fine AND Straight ALSO Usually blonde foils in blonde hair but temporarily dark brown.
Skin Type: Normal
Expertise/Usage: Pepper Potts (practical, but I enjoy using makeup/skin products)
Budget: Sephora
Best Buy: Kit Cosmetics Hand Cream (Tropical Coconut Milk scented). I was gifted this for my birthday and have fallen in love with it. It’s soothing and refreshing, but maybe a tiny bit oily. Other than that, I love any and all Body Shop moisturisers/body butter products which are usually very reasonably priced for the rest of my body. I have tried all of them and can’t pick a favourite, but I recommend trying out the nut-based ones first if you’re new to Body Shop products.
Price: $19.95 for 75mLs, Body Shop prices vary by size
Sold by: Kit Cosmetics, The Body Shop

Best Buy: Crabtree and Evelyn Rosewater Age Defying Hand Remedy. I also got this for my birthday (along with the Rosewater body lotion, shower gel and soap– great gift!) and have been using it ever since. It smells amazing and keeps my hands soft and smooth. On my face I use Nivea Visage Oil Free Moisturizing Day Cream, which works great.
Price: Hand lotion: $7 for 25g, $27 for 100mL. Face moisturizer: approx. $7
Sold by: Crabtree and Evelyn, http://www.crabtree-evelyn.com/collections-rosewater/collections-rosewater,default,sc.html, I only found this specific face cream on the Nivea UK site: http://shop.nivea.co.uk/daily-essentials-oil-free-moisturising-day-cream-50ml.html
Our Tips:
1. Take shorter showers!
2. Don’t over exfoliate!
3. Apply lotion immediately after showering or washing your hands!
4. Hydrate! Drink enough water every day.
5. Wear gloves outside or when washing dishes and apply cuticle cream or oil to save your nails!
6. Eat some avocado, salmon, coconut oil, caffeine-free herbal teas, and homemade probiotics (whatever that means)! (Source: Mind Body Green)
