A good body cream shouldn’t just put a band-aid on dry skin, but provide enough hydration that skin remains soft long after application. With that in mind, we’ve selected the best creams to help reconstitute your skin into the greatest it’s ever been within only a few uses.
Up first is The Geranium Rose Body Cream from Augustinus Bader, which is formulated with the brand’s patented TFC8 blend of lipids, vitamins and peptides to support cell renewal while drastically improving the skin’s appearance. Specifically designed to target cellulite and stretch marks, it visibly transforms skin within 12 weeks and leaves behind a delicate rose and geranium scent after every use.
Similarly, La Mer’s The Body Crème is formulated with the brand’s signature anti-ageing formula to resurface skin within a few weeks of use. La Mer’s patented Miracle Broth undergoes three to four months of fermentation and exposure to light and sound waves to make it a powerful antidote to environmental stressors. In the body cream, this unique formula is combined with jojoba esters (organic compounds derived from jojoba oil), sesame seed oil and eucalyptus to rejuvenate skin as it moisturises it.
Equally luxurious is Chanel’s classic Fresh Body Cream, with a silky texture that leaves skin baby soft and perfumed with a subtle floral and musky scent.
But when it comes to perfumed lotions, none beat Byredo’s Black Saffron Body Cream, which leaves behind a rich amber-y scent, infused with notes of black violets, raspberry and blond woods.
GOOD TO KNOW
TFC8® was developed by German-born stem-cell biologist Professor Augustinus Bader in 2008 when he was working with pediatric burn victims. Looking for a revolutionary way to heal physical trauma, he developed a groundbreaking method that triggers the body’s own stem cells to repair skin loss.
