On the surface Africology’s Skin Renewal Body Glow gives your body a subtle shimmer. On very dry skin, though, that effect is less noticeable. Instead what impresses is how quickly the hyaluronic acid moisturises the skin (it also smoothes out wrinkles). Dehydrated skin, with patches showing signs of eczema, transformed within a couple of days, thirstily soaking up the balm comprising 100% natural oils (marula, African potato, rooibos and aloe vera). The scent is so lovely it could double as perfume. Neither oily nor greasy, it soaks in quickly and doesn’t leave marks on objects that you touch soon after application. A little goes a long way. – Debbie Hathway
