These Budget Body Products Pack A Powerful Punch

Said body lotion must be affordable, since you’re basically drowning yourself in the stuff. And it MUST come in a pump pack for the aerodynamic speed of application needed in the morning. Bonus points for a fragrance-free formula so even the most sensitive, stressed-out skins can partake.

Enter CeraVe. One of my all-time favourite pharmacy brands.  The formulations are simple yet so beautiful to use. They have been developed with Dermatologists so they’re expertly engineered to hydrate and soothe all skin types without causing any irritation. CeraVe’s best-selling hydration heroes are available exclusively at Chemist Warehouse nationwide. 

There’s a solution for the chapped hands, too. CeraVe Reparative Hand Cream is gloriously quick-to-absorb. It contains those excellent ceramides and hyaluronic acid, along with the added cosseting properties of glycerin (essential in any hand cream worth its salt). It helps to strengthen the skin barrier, whilst also helping to prevent moisture loss when you’re washing hands regularly. Starting at $8.99 a pop, you can afford to have one in your glove box and your handbag.

Both of these little beauties feature CeraVe’s MVE Delivery Technology which promises 24-hour (all day) hydration so you’ll be well on your way to ending dermal drought indefinitely. Dry weather? We’ve got this.
