Summer is a time when we want to strip off and celebrate our bodies as much as we can! However, it can play a little bit of havoc when it comes to dryness due to humidity, as well as leftover issues from the colder months! Yet, there is one product that has been around for nearly 100 years, which soothes all issues! Astral!

Good Morning Lovelies,

Since I was small, I’ve always been someone who loves autumn and winter a whole lot more than summer. Especially for one reason - Skincare! Whilst my skin does go a little dry in the cold, the hot weather seems to affect my face and body a lot more. 

Dry, chapped, blotchy and even bleeding skin is all conditions that I have suffered with recently. All due to the humid weather. Therefore, I am turning to my trusted skin products a whole lot more right now. Including the fantastic Astral Intensive Moisturiser. 

Created 70 years ago, the brand has gone from strength to strength, with even celebrities, such as Celebrity Big Brother star, Ella Rae Wise, using it to help hydrate their skin. 

Speaking about the product, she stated, “Nothing beats Astral Cream. You can use it on your body as well. It's a thick moisturiser and it's great for hydrating your skin. I've sworn by it for years”. Something I can’t agree with more. 

Over the past few years, I have been kindly sent tubs of the product and they are very quickly used up by not only myself but my mum. During the height of her menopause period, she found it was the only thing to help sooty the dry skin it caused. It even eased the little pimples her body started to produce. 

It’s a staple brand that hydrates, moisturises and cares in every possible way. It doesn’t stop working the entire time it is on your skin, as it contains a wonder ingredient that continues to draw in moisture from the air to help relieve tight skin. An element that is key during the dry humid summer days that affect my body. 

With so many different kinds to choose from, Astral has a tub that fits every need. From the Astral Intensive Moisturiser, which is a great option for those pre-tanning days, as it soothes dry areas before application, leading to less patches and skin shedding to create a long lasting look. 

The brand even has scented options, with the choice of either a Shea Butter or Cocoa Butter tubs available, to help build a summer smell. Plus, you can get all of these in travel sizes too, making them great as a carry on item to help best that aeroplane dryness as well. 

For less than £5, it’s a product I couldn’t recommend enough! It’s a joy to use and a wonder item when it comes to looking after my skin. I’m so lucky to have been gifted it and even if I hadn’t been I would have brought it. I don’t use anything else during the summer on my body and I don’t plan on changing it! If you buy one beauty product these next few months lovelies, make it Astral!
