Love: Shiseido’s high performance Bodycare

Shiseido is one of those legendary brands that I’ve only ever associated with skincare and make up, but lately that’s changed. I’ve been trying out a few beautiful products from their high-performance bodycare range and have to say that I’m super impressed. The range includes a gorgeous Body Cleansing Milk, which has a very luxe feel and foams up but doesn’t strip away the skin’s natural moisture barrier like many of its ilk. It also smells pretty damn delightful thanks to the inclusion of Kuroho, an ancient Japanese fragrance that Shiseido have re-imagined for modern times in the delicate way only they can. This fragrance also carries through to the Firming Body Cream (pictured), which is just far too beautiful to hide away in your bathroom cabinet as well as proven to hydrate and get to work refining body contours and improving circulation. A lighter alternative is the Body Emulsion, which is my pick for the more humid months when you need something that works hard but doesn’t linger too much on the skin. This formula really does absorb in seconds, going to work on your skin just as fast. Last up in the range is its newest addition, the Advanced Body Creator Aromatic Sculpting Gel (what a mouthful!), a spicy smelling little number that tingles on application as it fights the appearance of cellulite and refines as it moisturises. Gorgeous stuff, and definitely proof that Shiseido are as serious about addressing concerns below the neck as well as from the neck up!
