What… Augustinus Bader’s first body cream.
Why… Because this cunning cream - the first of its kind from the German-based brand - hits the sweet spot with its science-backed formula.
Within a capsule wardrobe, there hangs a timeless set of forever pieces - say, a staple white tee, a pair of blue denim jeans, and an I-mean-business kinda black blazer. Amongst the essentials, there are, of course, a few (maybe too many?) ‘investment’ pieces...
And just like fashion, this stands true for beauty cabinets. Like the former, a streamlined capsule collection is the goal, albeit it’s often we find ourselves inundated with more products than we could possibly need in our lifetimes… The mantra we should be going by is: buy less, buy better (see: Vivienne Westwood). In other words, sprinkle a little luxury here and there sans the guilt; instead, live safe in the knowledge that splashing said cash can be justified because you’re going by Viv’s word. Augustinus Bader’s The Body Cream is one such product that Viv would approve of.
When we think of body cream credentials, there’s nothing more enticing than a rich, thick (but not greasy - think something that allows us to slip into our clothes in a jiffy), formula that intensely hydrates while helping to reverse signs of aging, right? Well, now arriving as an extension of the brand's already iconic face creams (which launched last February to much acclaim), Augustinus Bader perfects a dreamy formula with a multifaceted prowess: soothing and hydrating parched skin, while also tackling cellulite and any stretch marks.
With the brand’s signature TFC8 technology – a complex buttery concoction of natural amino acids, medical-grade vitamins and synthesised molecules found naturally in the skin – an ignition is activated for your skin to carry out its own repair process. Impressive, we know! This promotes the appearance of firmer and more even skin, while supporting barrier function to improve overall hydration.
As we’re fast on the approach to the chillier seasons (thanks global warming for the -14 degrees winter incoming), add a daily ray of sun ritual with The Body Cream.
Buy less, buy better with more Augustinus Bader satin dreaminess...
