‘Tis the season for dry skin, thanks to the gale-force winds and cold weather. That’s why many of us need a bit of extra love for our skin during this time of year – which is exactly what you can get from Ameliorate’s Nourishing Body Wash.
And now, Ameliorate is having a flash sale of its skin-loving products, meaning the Body Wash is currently £6 for 200ml, down from its full price of £12. All that, and you can nab an extra 5% off with the code AMELX5.
The Nourishing Body Wash gently cleanses skin without stripping it of all its moisture, thanks to the addition of natural omega oils like starflower and camelina. There’s nothing worse than coming out of the shower with your skin feeling tight and dry – but with this pH balanced body wash, you’re much more likely to experience soft and supple skin.
To really complete your skincare routine, you could then follow up the cleanser with the Transforming Body Lotion (£24 for 200ml). Both products are said to target keratosis pilaris – the skin condition which causes dryness and tiny bumps.
The genius thing about the body lotion is it both exfoliates and moisturises at the same time – using active ingredients to slough off dry skin cells, and hydrating elements (like sweet almond oil) to really make your skin feel soft and smooth. According to Ameliorate, 87% of the 77 people tested with keratosis pilaris said that their skin felt softer and smoother after four weeks of using the lotion.
The 200ml version of the Body Wash has an impressive 4.79 stars from 24 reviews, with one reviewer saying: “My skin can become dry really quickly but this wash was really smoothing and moisturising. I also love the light, almost baby powder like scent, really comforting as a daily wash.”
Another called it “amazing”, adding: “Best shower product I have ever used, leaves skin feeling so soft.” While a third added: “I suffer from dry, sensitive, eczema prone skin and this product provides me with instant relief with a light comforting fragrance.”
However, everyone’s skin is different, and another reviewer said it was “not what I’d hoped”, adding: “It might help if you have a few bumps but if you have stubborn red KP [keratosis pilaris] don’t expect any change.” Another said: “I like this product, not love but like. I thought it [would] be more creamy.”
If you wanted to shop around, you could turn your bathroom into a spa thanks to the Champneys Calm Body Cleanser, which is £8 from Boots. For a hard-working body moisturiser, look to Vaseline’s Intensive Care Body Oil (down to £3.66 at Superdrug).
But for a body wash and moisturiser that will really target dull and dry winter skin, be sure to check out Ameliorate’s deals – and grab that 5% off with the code AMELX5.
