The Body Shop: A Few Favourites




For me, The Body Shop is one of my favourite places for skincare and the odd bit of makeup, as it's cheap, natural and really works! As a student, I find it hard to get effective skincare that actually works, but isn't super expensive, and as a beauty lover I often find myself pining after the expensive brands!

But the thing I love about the Body Shop is that a lot of their products match or even perform better than some of the prestigious brands, something that I love not having the money to spend on a £30-£40 moisturiser!

So here are a few of my favourite buys and essentials from The Body Shop, that I never seem to be without!

This has been a more recent purchases but one I'd been lusting after for months, I finally picked it up a couple of weeks ago and I can honestly say it's one of my favourite skincare products I own! 
This so easily breaks down makeup with only a couple of pumps, massaged into the face and then wiped off with a warm flannel. It's lightweight, easy to use and leaves my dry skin feeling moisturised but clean. 
Even if you do suffer with oily skin, this is fantastic because it doesn't leave any sticky residue on your face and doesn't strip the skin. I actually look forward to the end of the day so I can use this product, which I never ever thought I'd say! I'm in love!

This face wash has been in my collection for a while, and although I don't use this everyday, I always find myself reaching for this when I'm not sure what else to use. 
This face wash contains and smells quite strongly of Tea Tree- something I love, which makes it perfect for purifying clogged up skin, yet surprisingly it doesn't strip the skin or leave it dry due to it's creaminess. Therefore again this is another product that would be great for both dry skin or oily skin, as it isn't drying yet clears the skin nicely! This wash is also great if you suffer with blemishes and acne, as Tea Tree is a fantastic ingredient for clearing the skin, great for those cheeky breakouts!

I love this overnight serum for a boost of hydration for when my skin feels dull and dry. This serum is a lightweight oil but gives a great amount of moisture to the skin. 
I use this before my moisturiser and after I've cleansed, and I really notice a difference in the way my skin feel the next morning. Vitamin E is also great for healing, so would be perfect if you suffer with breakouts and blemishes to help repair the skin. 

Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream- £13
On the same par with the serum, this moisturiser is great for dehydrated skin, as it's thick, rich but still sinks in quickly and doesn't leave any sticky residue on the skin. I reach for this more in the winter months when my skin is very dry, but I still love using it once or twice a week throughout spring and summer to help repair and hydrate my skin. 
The texture of this cream is very buttery and creamy and I love the feeling I get when I use this product, so overall it's perfect for those of you with dehydrated skin.

Honey Bronze Powder- £13
As I have very pale skin, I often find it hard to get a bronzer that gives me a warm glow, without making me look orange and fake- so when I found this I was so happy! It's a lovely soft powder that gives a nice, warm tone to the skin, without looking cakey or orange.
This has tiny flecks of golden glitter throughout, so its great for boosting radiance, but isn't so shiny that you couldn't contour if you prefer to do that! The colour range is also great, with 6 shades, so there's something to suit every type of skin tone too!
