Sanctuary Spa Covent Garden Daily Spa Escape Body Lotion (250ml, £5.10)

A rich cream with ginger and jojoba which is absorbed quickly and lasts well with a pleasant scent, this is luxury without a hefty price tag.

Eucerin Dry Skin Intensive Urea Treatment Lotion (250ml, £12.89)

This cream is thick and quite difficult to rub in but it is also effective for really dry skin. Best used on problem patches rather than all over.

Next Cashmere Moisturing Body Cream (200ml, £3.50)

With shea butter and cashmere protein this is highly moisturising despite being a lightweight cream. It is quite heavily perfumed but great value for money.

The Body Shop White Musk Libertine Body Lotion (250ml, £9)

Part of the store’s new fragrance range, this blends cruelty-free musk scents with florals and a touch of sweetness. It is absorbed easily and moisturises well with a layer of perfume.

Elemis sp@home Pro-Collagen Body Cream (200ml, £49)

Packed full of natural skin boosters, this provides long-lasting hydration with an immediate touch of radiance thanks to its micro particles. It comes at a price though.
