Salicylic Acid Body Wash
£6.50 | Q+A
A hardworking body wash is a pre-party essential, especially if you suffer from ingrown hairs or rough, dry patches. This gently lathering formula combines the power of pore unclogging salicylic acid and white willow extract with soothing aloe vera to soften and smooth skin as you shower, creating a better base layer for your moisturiser afterwards.

If you’re someone who enjoys the ritual of a bath before an evening out, this revitalising oil is just the thing to reinvigorate if you’re lacking in energy or feeling sluggish. As well as stimulating your senses with notes of rosemary, juniper berry and grapefruit, if used as a body oil and massaged into skin, it also helps eliminate fluid retention and boosts circulation.
