New Garnier range for sensitive bods

For daycent body care that won't break the bank, you really can't go wrong with Garnier's new BodySensitive anti-dryness range. There's a moisturising milk, restorative balm, and soothing hand cream, all of which are hypo-allergenic and fragrance-free to comfort skin that's both extra dry and sensitive. In addition, the products all contain maple leaf sap extract, which Garnier reckon is calming, moisturising, and soothing.

I thought it just sounded a bit, well, sticky.

However, I was pleasantly surprised by the body milk, which was quickly absorbed, provided lasting moisturisation, and really sorted out a couple of persistant flaky patches that I was beginning to think I'd never be shot of. The hand cream, while very moisturising, was a wee bit on the greasy side (although not sticky!) so probably best suited to night-time use.

Available now from supermarkets and pharmacies nationwide.
