Its that time of year when body butters are used almost daily to moisturize and pamper dry, winter-weary skin. We at Real Style Network thought we would share our favourite body butters for those of you that love to indulge in bath & body products.
The Body Shop is legendary for their body butters and the selection is quite large. They offer body butters in three skin types; normal, normal to dry and dry to very dry. Our favourites in each category include:
Pink Grapefruit for Normal Skin – This one is fresh, tart and perfect for a morning pick-me-up! It moisturizes well and leaves your skin fragranced with the light scent of grapefruit. For those of you that love grapefruit scents, this one is a no brainer.
Wild Cherry for Normal to Dry Skin – The newest body butter is Wild Cherry. It’s rich and decadent! Great absorption into skin and the wild cherry seed oil helps moisturize patchy dry skin.
Cocoa Butter for Dry to Very Dry Skin – This one is a classic! Cocoa Butter Body Butter is great for everyday use and softens and smoothes rough, dry skin. It smells tropical and light and is great for those of you that love the smells of cocoa butter and vanilla.
Fruits & Passion is a great option for those of you that seek unique bath & body care options. Our favourite body butter is the Fruity Quenching Butter for the Body. It’s enriched with shea butter and will leave your skin soft and scented with a distinct fruity/floral fragrance.
Sephora is also known for their large range of body butters. The Sephora branded body butters are rich and surprisingly strong. They also contain shea butter and beeswax to help moisturize and protect skin. Our favourites include Apple Pomegranate Body Butter, Riviera Blue Body Butter and Vanilla Cupcake Body Butter (we love this scent!).

For all you men out there (and ladies that buy for their men) P&G is releasing a new Head & Shoulders product called Head & Shoulders Hair Endurance for Men.
The new hair endurance product is meant to reduce hair breakage by eliminating dandruff while helping to thicken hair. Head & Shoulders Hair Endurance is meant to strengthen and visibly improve the look and feel of men’s hair (all in a daily shampoo).
This product is designed for men who tend to be a bit rougher with their hair (more so than women) and want care specifically for their targeted problems. P&G research shows that more than 44% of U.S. males who experience some form of hair loss also claim to have dandruff troubles. The product is aimed at men who are concerned about their thinning hair, but not at the point that they want to get into hair re-growth products.
Keep an eye out for Head & Shoulders Hair Endurance for Men in your local drugstores this month.
