The Body Shop Body Butter duo

Apply the rich infusion on areas such as elbows, knees, and legs, and use the normal skin formula on the rest of your body. Choose from four scrumptuous fragrances, Sweet Pea, Vanilla, Macadamia and Floral Acai. Available from end of May 2011, £12.50 per pot
Elemis Exotic Lime and Ginger Salt Glow
Invigorating Ginger stimulates the metabolism and tones the body, while Lime Peel works to energise, cleanse and purify the skin. Unrefined Sea Salt is uniquely blended with Kukui, Camellia and Jojoba oils to exfoliate and remineralise skin, helping it regain its natural moisture balance and silky softness.
This is a real luxury product - not only signalled by the price. We love the glass jar packaging it comes in. And the smell, WOW. Grains are medium rather than fine so your skin does feel noticeably softer and treated after use. But it does leave a layer of oily moisture on skin after use, which is helps to keep skin moisturised but not so good if your skin is prone to breakouts. Better for more mature or dry skin.

Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter Body Butter
Award winning body moisturising butter with softening shea butter and aloe vera. A formula for anyone who’s lost that ‘rubbing’ feeling and wants to bring it on back. With a new dynamic moisture trap matrix to help hold hydration in longer!
Smells fantastic, it's a clean scent but it isn't overpowering. Doesn't leave skin greasy like some body butters but really touchably soft and velvet-like. And this effect last for days with skin staying moisturised and not a hint a dryness. Brilliant value for money.
Available from Boots and asos.com and Harvey Nicols stores nationwide.

Nuxe Paris Huile Prodigieuse Or
Huile Prodigieuse Or is a dry oil with a unique superactivated formula combining 30% Precious Plant Oils and Vitamin E to nourish, repair and soften face, body and hair.
Its iridescent golden particles illuminates skin - and if you like, so you can apply to hair. It's a dry oil so not too greasy, it really adds a shimmer to your skin more than anything else such as moisturise. But good for rubbing onto legs, arms, decollatage to hid imperfections and make skin dazzle.

Philosophy Rasberries and Cream Shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath
Begin each day in a state of sweet harmony. Sweet and creamy scents blend in raspberries and cream shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath.
This is a great summer shower gel, with an amazing raspberry smell which stays on skin after rinsing. As a bubble bath it's great with lots of bubbles and foam to relax in. And it's an ok shampoo, not one to use to look after colour treated hair but then it doesn't claim to. If you've only got space in your luggage for one product then pack this this summer.
Available from Selfridges and QVC. Call 0870 990 8452 for stockists.

Champneys' Citrus Glow Body Butter
A vitamin-rich moisturising blend of four butters; shea, olive, cocoa and mango. This moisturiser is specially formulated to protect and condition the skin against environmental damage. Essential oils of eucalyptus, may chang and cardamom oil stimulate the senses and leave the skin sweetly fragranced.
It's rich, creamy yet not too thick that it takes ages to soak into skin. Super-hydrating, skin is soft after use. Smell is very unusual - spicey yet sweet. Good change from all the fruity body butters. Could be better on long-term hydration as skin showed dryness after few days.

Elemis 20th Anniversary Skin Nourishing Milk Bath
Luxury Milk Bath has a unique formula that captures the essence of Cleopatra’s ancient bathing ritual. Its milk protein base is rich in nourishing vitamins, amino acids and minerals. Elemis Skin Nourishing Milk Bath contains natural plant collagen from Oat Extract and Japanese Camellia Oil to feed the skin whilst keeping it soft and supple.
Great bath product. Skin is left super soft to touch and supple and it's a feeling that last for days despite showering. But it is pricey.
