Investing in body care products is often quite far down the priority list — especially when there are so many fun skincare products to buy and try. Why purchase a body cream when you can try a new serum that everyone is raving about?! We get it! But body care is just as important and there are many, many exciting products in this range.
While it’s important to lather up your body with creams and lotions in winter, making sure you’re hydrating your skin come summer is also just as necessary — especially if you’re spending lots of time in the sun as your skin is probably a little parched.
So, we did the hard work for you and rounded up the top-rated body moisturisers from MECCA. These five creams are highly rated by fellow beauty fans and the most reviewed of the bunch is the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ($64), with 1075 reviews. This product also won the Best Body category in the MECCA Beauty Election 2021, so you know it’s good!

Will keep purchasing.”

Bangn Body Firming Lotion
A cult product for good reason, Bangn Body’s Firming Lotion ($48) is loved by many. A multi-purpose product, this lotion can be used on your body and face. The lightweight consistency means its fast absorbing and the addition of antioxidants and vitamins help to improve the appearance of skin.
Avocado oil and aloe vera leaf oil help soothe irritation, while green coffee bean extract increases circulation and collagen production to help firm skin.
“Super moisturising, but not oily. Absorbs relatively quickly and a little bit goes a long way. Really helping with stretch marks on a growing baby bump,” wrote Kat.
