My skin is usually oily and doesn’t need much moisturiser, but winter wreaks havoc on my skin! This is what I’ve been using this year to keep it happy: Daytime moisturiser: Kosmea Replenishing Moisture Cream*, $44.95 AUD for 50 mL Moisturising and smoothing but doesn’t leave the skin shiny or greasy – perfect under BB cream. Leave-on exfoliator: Paula’s Choice …
My boyfriend isn’t usually interested in trying out beauty products… except this. He is an utter FIEND for massages and tickles (I think it’s mainly the undivided attention). I prefer the “dig your elbow into my back and leave it” school of massage, but he’s all about the touchy-feely. (I’ve been trying in vain to get him out of the …

3268zauber Vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols) can be found in lots of foods (vegetables, nuts, oils (e.g. sunflower), seeds, wholegrains)… and lots of lotions! What’s it doing there? Well, vitamin E is actually one of THE most important antioxidants in our bodies! Oxygen is essential for life, but it’s also very reactive and, when it reacts with things it shouldn’t …
