It’s time to demand more from your moisturiser. Liliana Salih-Miller finds dual-action products for your beauty routine

Banish bingo wings for good and make this part of your every day beauty routine until it becomes habit.
Dr. Ceuticals Leg Tone & Shimmer, £16.99 for 200ml from www.boots.com and Boots stores nationwide
With marine extracts to target fatty deposits, this unique cream fights cellulite, toning wobbly bits of your legs while also enhancing their natural glow, causing legs to appear glowing and radiant throughout the summer months. Results are seen within weeks of first use!
Origins All Purpose High Elevation Cream – Dry Skin Relief, 75ml, £23, from www.origins.co.uk and Boots stores nationwide
This fresh-smelling moisturiser can be used all over the body or just on the face. It’s perfect for rejuvenating dry skin during the summer weather. This cream also calms skin, which is ideal for sensitive skin and those prone to heat rashes. If you’re flying abroad this summer, don’t board the plane without it!
Centella Body Butter (£16.50) & moisturiser (£14.50), www.centellaskincare.co.uk
This newly launched (last month!) skin care brand offers natural products with fragrances derived from plant essential oils, floral waters or fragrant oils. The moisturiser and body butter sooth the skin, leaving it hydrated, while the calming fragrance restores balance and promotes wellbeing. Also available: bath range and massage oil.
Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Vitalising Body Gel Oil, £4.69, from Boots and all good chemists.
Vaseline has long been a firm favourite in our beauty bags, and this Cocoa Butter gel is a great way to freshen up your routine for summer! This gel oil is fragrant and glossy and when used after bathing, is perfect for intense hydration and revitalisation of the body. This leaves skin looking and smelling divine, at a very affordable price.
Lush Vanishing Cream, 45g, £17.50, from Lush stores
Like Centella, this little gem from Lush is wonderfully nourishing while soothing lavender calms the mind. This facial moisturiser sinks into the skin leaving it soft but dry. It’s instantly absorbing, making it ideal for oily skin/T-zone. Essential oils of lavender, rose and geranium will help balance the skin as well as giving a light, pretty fragrance.
Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir Body & Hand Lotion, from £38 for 250ml from www.jomalone.co.uk and Jo Malone stores nationwide
A divinely scented hand and body lotion, this silky smooth moisturiser is well worth the price. The subtly scented blend of Pomegranate, raspberry and plum laced with with pink pepper and Casablanca lily makes an iconic, fruity fragrance you could get away with wearing no perfume with. Leaves skin feeling soft and supple while smelling delicious, this is an ideal summer lotion.
