My Version of The Summer Body

The Internet is a bit over-run at the moment with people talking about summer bodies; for me, though, a summer body means loving what you've got and taking good care of yourself, rather than battling to lose a few pounds and making yourself miserable. I try to be healthy all year round, but I also like cake, and that's fine. However, I am a little bit obsessed at the moment with achieving gorgeous, silky-smooth limbs...

I talked a couple of days ago about this shower-time duo from Forever Living; the Relaxation Shower Gel* has a lovely relaxing scent of Lavender and leaves my skin feeling super-soft, as well as being lovely to shave with! I was actually really surprised as my skin can be so sensitive when it comes to shaving, but I've had no irritation at all using this. I like to use it with a pair of exfoliating gloves to help keep my skin super-soft. The Aloe Scrub* is perfect on my upper arms, and has worked brilliantly to keep peeling at bay when I've spent a little too long in the sun *slapped wrist*.
Please note I am no longer recommending, purchasing, accepting for review, or otherwise using products from Multi-Level Management (MLM) companies due to their dubious ethicality. I am therefore no longer recommending Forever Living products.

Once a week or so, I like to go in with a more intensive scrub on my legs, which are quite prone to ingrown hairs; the Boots Extracts Mango Sugar Scrub smells every bits as beautiful as it sounds -perfect for summer - and leaves my legs feeling amazing. I also picked up a dry body brush lately and have been trying to give my legs a good brush once or twice a day; it's meant to be really good for cellulite as it improves your circulation, but I'm just loving how soft my skin feels afterwards!
Finally, for a nice dose of moisture, I'm loving The Body Shop's Hemp Body Butter, especially after swimming or shaving, which can both dry my legs out. For a lighter option, the Dove Purely Pampering Pistachio Cream & Magnolia Oil smells bloomin' gorgeous and gives a lovely sheen to my skin. It's not the most moisturising of products, so I only use this on days where my skin hasn't taken any abuse - but it still feels like a nice treat!
