It depends on your skin and the weather. Body butter is thicker and richer, so it suits very dry skin and cooler months. Body lotion is lighter and spreads easily, so it suits daily use and warm, humid days. Many people use lotion by day and butter at night.

Handmade soap is made in small batches and usually keeps its natural glycerin, which many people find leaves skin feeling softer than a harsh commercial bar. Ingredients vary by recipe, so read the label if your skin is sensitive. Soap is a cleanser, not a medical treatment.

Keep it to three steps: cleanse gently, add a hydrating layer such as a face mist or face oil, then moisturise. In the morning, finish with sunscreen. Add one new product at a time so you can see how your skin reacts.

Botanical ingredients come from plants, such as oils, butters, flower waters, herbs and extracts. Natural does not automatically mean gentle, so patch test any new product on a small area before using it on your face.

Apply a small amount to clean skin, usually in the morning, and follow with sunscreen. Start a few times a week and build up if your skin feels comfortable. Patch test first, and stop using it if irritation appears.
