WITH the cold nights drawing in and central heating playing havoc with your hydration, it is the perfect time of year to bust out a luxurious body lotion to keep your skin soft and supple.

No one can really be bother slathering it on every morning before work, but this refreshing lotion from Soap & Glory is a delight to moisturise your skin all over after a bath or shower.

It isn't heavy or greasy like some body creams - the gel-like texture soaks in quickly, but leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth like a lotion should.

It is part of Soap & Glory's 'call of fruity' collection, which also includes a hand cream, hydrating body butter, and a 'bubble in paradise' body wash.

The tropical blend of mango and coconut oils, papaya, passion fruit and algae extracts makes you feel like you should be soaking up the sun and a pina colada in the Caribbean - although it also reminded me of those zesty fruit salad chew sweets. But in a good way!

And £10 for a 500ml bottle is good value for money - a little goes a long way. It is also suitable for vegetarians to use.
