As the title says I'm looking for a nice body cream /lotion for my mum for Christmas she's 65. We have a limit of £50 but I dont mind splashing out a bit more. looking for recommendations please.

What perfume does she use ? My DM bought me a lovely Chanel No 5 body cream a couple of Christmas ago

All the Chanel body products are fab, the soap is unbelievable

Clarins extra rich body lotion is very good but has a strong scent that you either love or hate. I love the yellow tonic Clarins body products too, much more of a spa smell

Neom body cream is nice

Chanel No 5 body crème - satisfyingly lush and looks beautiful too

(The Coco Mademoiselle soap is not as lovely as the No 5 soap)

Lancôme Nutrix.

I also really like this as it’s not as heavy as other Clarins body lotions. I usually buy from Amazon but I can’t link to it -

It’a so lovely that I use it as handcream.

I love the fenty one

Chloefairydust · 14/11/2022 06:10

I love the body shop ones,the coconut one smells like a holiday 😁

Another vote for L’Occitane.

I love nuxe products- they smell delicious.

The body balm is great, M&S sell it, very easily absorbed, smells lovely and makes my skin feel so soft!

Also love the body oils especially huile prodigiouse

I’m not quite as old as your mum but experiencing dry skin as a result of the menopause. I used to use Elemis body lotion and other nicely smelling stuff. I’ve now changed to Ameliorate Transforming Body lotion. It doesn’t smell as nice as it’s a bit clinical but boy does it function well. A little goes a long way and it’s easy to rub in so it’s not a chore to use. It soaks in well with no residue and my skin has never been so soft. It’s expensive at £40 for the big bottle but that lasts me 6 months of regular use

Thanks for sharing this information, it is very useful.

L’Occitane gets my vote, also look at Up Circle or Evolve.

My absolute favourite brands for body lotion are Rituals and l'Occitane. Liz Earle body lotion is also lovely if she likes something more herbal/lavender scented.
