The leaves are turning brown, the days are getting colder, darker and shorter meaning a few things: it's time to layer up clothing, your heating bill will probably double in the next few weeks and of course, your skin is preparing to dry out. There's two things I am all but guaranteed each October: a new coat and patches of scaly skin all over my body. This year, I have vowed not to be lazy and as such have scoured around for the best body moisturisers  that won't break the bank. You and your silky soft skin can thank me later.

For Quickness

Vaseline Spray Moisturiser £2.89 via Superdrug - link.

This is one of the best, quick, cheap body moisturisers around; not only can you find the Vaseline Spray Moisturisers in just about any body care aisle on the high street, but there is multitude of fragrances and varieties of this mist on body lotion to discover.

Admittedly this isn't the most intensive moisturiser on the block - nor this list for that matter - but it does quickly go to work, leaving skin feeling hydrated and with no greasy residue or tacky feeling. This is my choice for anyone in a rush and the one I recommend chucking in a bag - be that got travel or the gym.
