3 ultra hydrating body creams for perfect pins this summer

Body creams used to take ages to absorb into skin. But these new wave ones are ultra hydrating, effective and quick to use. YAY!

Body creams have always had a reputation for being something you use when you're time rich. So, more Friday night in than Monday morning rush. But the good news is, we've found three (including new launches) that work brilliantly and are designed to absorb quickly. Whether you're looking to save, spend or splurge - perfect pins, here we come!

Nivea Body Mousse €5.99

The brand new Body Mousse by Nivea has just launched and comes in two versions. The Deep Moisture Serum with Almond Oil (pictured above) is designed for very dry skin. The fruity Wild Raspberry and White Tea is suitable for normal to dry skin.

Both come with a quick dispense nozzle that pushes out a little foamy cloud into your hand. The formula leaves skin feeling hydrated, silky and ready for tights, trousers or going bare-legged on a sunny day.

Cera Ve Moisturising Cream 454g €16.50

This huge tub of moisturising cream is a dream to use. It doesn't come with any bells or whistles and it doesn't have fancy packaging. But quite simply, its magic for dry skin.

Once applied, the cream absorbs instantly into skin rehydrating and reducing any tightness. As it's fragrance-free (and absorbs to a matte finish), it's suitable for anyone with sensitive skin be it women, or men.

L'Occitane Amande Beautiful Body Balm €28

Fans of the almond collection from L'Occitane won't be disappointed with its latest addition. This has the divine signature scent we've come to expect from the range and absorbs quickly too. As one reviewer I read said, "I can't say enough nice things about this". And that just about sums it up really.
