Best in body: three bodycare formulas I’m obsessed with right now
I have long been an advocate for taking care of your skin from the neck down, and as someone who has significant scarring from multiple surgeries post-cancer, I’m all about searching for bodycare products that go far further than just a little moisturisation.
With all that in mind, welcome to my favourite new bodycare discoveries of late, and why I love them so damn much!
Kiehl’s Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream
Expertly crafted with a powerful blend of ingredients including Squalane and Ectoin, like the OG Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream this lightweight body soother is formulated to help reinforce and strengthen the skin's moisture barrier function, and I fell in love at first dip.
The deeply hydrating body lotion also comes infused with powerful Pro-Ceramides, and as it is specially formulated for dry and sensitive skin, offers deep hydration with zero fragrance. Can I also shout out the fact that the ultra-lightweight, fast-absorbing formula easily sinks into the skin in just 3 seconds, so on those cooler autumn mornings there is no need to strut around in your undies waiting for it to dry!
Tronque Triple Active Body Milk
If you’re a regular reader on here or follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I’m an unabashed fan of New Zealand luxe bodycare brand Tronque. I could literally bathe in their decadent Rich as Croesus Firming Body Butter, and their Everyday Revelation Exfoliating Serum – which can be cocktailed with the body butter – is perfect for post-summer skin repair. They also offer a beautiful Soft Focus Scar Concentrate, a truly targeted treatment that can start to be used once any scar tape is removed, that I gift to anyone heading into surgery.
But back to the newness on offer, which for Tronque comes in the form of Triple Active Body Milk: Cleopatra’s Ganache. The next-generation bodycare solution redefines the way we approach body contouring, skin hydration, and anti-aging with a luxurious, velvety texture and powerful active ingredients, and I’m obsessed.

As well as being powered by the likes of Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate, the clinically proven formula is meticulously crafted with high-performance ingredients that work together to refine, lift, and tone the skin, while targeting the underlying causes of cellulite, sagging, and loss of elasticity. It effectively addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously, offering a holistic approach to bodycare that in a busy world, is what we all need right now.
For optimal results, Tronque recommends using the Triple Active Body Milk day and night using the Tronque Self-Massage Draining Method, which combines upward circular motions with gentle kneading to enhance fluid drainage, boost circulation, and break up fat deposits. This 5-10 minute daily ritual maximises the firming effects of the product and promotes lymphatic drainage for a smoother, more contoured body, while the brand’s elegant signature fragrance is also firmly in place.
Sol de Janeiro GlowMotions Copacabana Bronze Body Oil
As well as being a huge hit with Gen Z, I think every bodycare fiend I know has a soft spot for Sol de Janeiro’s unabashedly Brazilian, ultra sexy approach to the category. Some of their scents can be a little polarising, but when it comes to formulation the brand offers some of the best on counter right now, many selling out in hours with good reason.
Which brings me to Sol de Janeiro’s newest offering: GlowMotions Copacabana Bronze Body Oil, a luminising, hydrating, soft-shimmer glow oil with a buildable, visibly blurring tint that gives a healthy-looking, visibly gorgeous glow for all skin tones. It’s available in two shades, but as I’m keen to keep my post-summer vibes as long as possible, Copacabana Bronze – the warmer of the two – is my pick.
Key ingredients in the mix include fatty acid-rich Cupuaçu Butter to lock in moisture and help restore skin’s visible elasticity, the natural antioxidant powerhouse known as Açaí Oil, and Coconut Oil for added meltability. Available at MECCA, it comes with the brand’s iconic Cheirosa 62 Scent, which is warm and sexy and takes you straight to Rio.
A pro-tip is to apply this beauty to clean, dry skin, skipping any type of body moisturiser so as to avoid any shade transfer.
