Our picks of the top autumn body products.
It’s tempting to slap on inches of fake tan to keep your bronzed look throughout the winter months, but when things get icy that’s exactly how they tend to look – fake. But winter woollies are no excuse for scaly, snow-white pins either. Instead, go pale and interesting gracefully – it’s the look of the season. Avoid a Donatella Versace-esqe orange hue by exfoliating regularly and using lashings of moisturiser on your parched pins.
Try delicious Pure Fiji Coconut Sugar Rub for a natural exfoliation and moisturising treatment with sugar cane crystals to gently buff away skin cells, polish and unclog pores. Follow with Pure Fiji Body Butter in Coconut, a super moisturising cream with exotic nut extracts to hydrate and nourish skin – great for your body, plus they smell like a summer holiday!
For seriously dry skin, try Organic Gunge from Charles Jordi, £16.95, for a seriously intensive overnight rescue remedy. It’s deep moisturising but rubs in really quickly, plus it’s 100% natural and organic essential oils). Follow with a natural-looking self tan like Famous Dave’s Moisture Tan, £19.99 for 236ml, www.famousdave.co.uk. Unlike most tanning products, it feels really soft and is fragrance free, plus it won’t dry out your skin, and its ingredients are specially developed to prevent you from going orange.
As it gets colder, switch to a moisturiser with a hint of tan like L’oreal NutriSummer Tone-Up, £7.99, www.lorealparis.co.uk. It adds a gradual tan, plus firms up your skin. For more on our favourite tans, the healthy way, Click Here.

Those must-have golden highlights and marathon suntanning sessions don’t look too good now, do they? Don’t panic. If your hair looks tired, dull, thin and scorched, look no further than the fabulously luxurious Alterna Caviar Anti Ageing Moisture Shampoo, £23.00, and Alterna Caviar Anti Ageing Moisture Conditioner, £24.50 for 250ml, www.skinstore.co.uk. It hydrates and locks in moisture, adds shine and minimises signs of ageing. It makes your hair look and feel so gorgeous and silky you’ll want to save it for special occasions but won’t be able to resist!
If your colour is faded and sad, reach for TIGI Bed Head’s gorgeous new S-Factor Color Savvy Sulphate-Free Shampoo and S-Factor Color Savvy Sulphate-FreeConditioner, £13.30 and £14.30 for 250ml. Most shampoos contain sulphates, which actually damage and strip hair. This new range does the opposite, revitalising tired colour and smoothing, making your hair unbelievably shiny. Oh, and it smells like a bottled orgasm.
For a whole range of hot new hair products that will make your hair smell like a mouth-watering summer’s day right into winter, try Schwarzkopf’s NEW Supersoft Smoothies. They combine yoghurt protein with natural fruit extracts for ultra soft, smooth and silky hair that smells delicious! For a post-winter pick-me-up for dry hair, go for the Supersoft Yoghurt and Coconut Smoothie, £2.09, available nationwide.
