We’re wild about the new sorbets from The Body Shop. I’ve been trying out the Satsuma body sorbet {RRP R110} with it’s fresh, revitalising scent it smells good enough to eat! A must-have summer skin care sensation.

The new sorbets contain 100% organic Community Fair Trade Aloe Vera from Guatemala, are easy to apply and leave skin feeling hydrated without that sticky feeling.

Top Tip: Store your sorbet in the fridge for an even more refreshing moisture sensation. Perfect for when you’ve overdone the sun a little {naughty!}

Ready for a sultry night out on the town only to notice a ugly spot about the rear it’s head on your perfectly put together face. Fear not, introducing the new Tea Tree Flawless BB Cream {R85 for 40ml tube}. Available in 3 universal shades, it blends easily using your fingertips, for instant, natural-looking spotless skin. What we love about this BB cream is that it goes one step further than most. Whilst providing seamless coverage, the tea tree action helps combat blemishes so that you can feel comfortable and confident in your own skin this summer.
