In a bid to be beach ready for the sunny shores of Ibiza, my winter skin was calling out for some much needed attention.

Face and body oils seem to be all the rage at the moment, but if I'm honest I was a little hesitant at I thought of the awful gifts of Christmas past when you opened lavender scented oil from your great aunt.

I was hoping for better things with Bobbi Brown's new beach range. Their new Beach Body Oil is said to leave a moisturising sheen with a light fragrance from four essential oils including sesame and avocado.

Fearful of losing a drop of this luxury oil, I felt it came out of the bottle a little too quick. And the glass packaging is not ideal for travelling.

However, for a beach prep luxury item, this does tick all the boxes.

Melts into the skin, leaving it looked toned and smooth without a hint of grease. I'd go as far as saying it even gives you a plump and well-hydrated feel and appearance.

Works wonders if you already have a base tan, as it brings out the best of your colour.

It might have a price tag of £25, but for the confidence of looking and feeling beach ready - it's certainly worth it.
