With holiday season fast approaching, many of us will be looking forward to spending long days basking in some sunshine.
However, hours spent outside in the summer heat can result in our skin becoming dry, dehydrated and even sunburnt. One way to soothe red and damaged skin is to invest in a decent body lotion that is deeply nourishing.
One that has been hailed as "an absolute dream" and "super hydrating" for holiday skin is the Weleda Skin Food Body Lotion. According to the celeb-approved brand, it sells one of its body lotion "every two minutes" - meaning you might want to nab this while you can.
Right now, you can bag this five-star rated lotion in the retailer's weekly £10 Tuesday Deals, where it has been reduced from its usual £14.95. That means, for today only, you can bag this holiday skin essential for £4.95 less.
Winner of the 2023 Marie Claire Prix d’Excellence Sustainability Award, this Weleda Body Lotion is said to leave skin soft, supple and healthy. Meanwhile, its easily-absorbed formula is said to "work a treat for dehydrated holiday skin", according to reviews.
It is also said to "smell amazing", thanks to its notes of orange, lavender, vanilla and resin. It's also said to be suitable for all skin types and can be smoothed onto dry areas of the skin to leave it incredibly hydrated.

Boasting an incredible 98 percent recommendation rate on the cosmetics chain's website, the Weleda Skin Food Body Lotion has impressed beauty buffs who are taken it on holiday for its "non-sticky" texture that is "perfect for sun-parched skin."
One glowing review read: "I love Weleda’s Skin Food lotion it’s superbly hydrating post sun and end of Summer holiday skin , smells gorgeous too."
Another shopper added: "Perfect for sun-parched skin.

Beauty deal of the week
If you're looking for a beauty bargain, then Amazon is a treasure trove of deals that will help you restock your cosmetics bag on a budget.
The online retail giant regularly offers a range of beauty deals every day, with some top-rated brands included. When we checked today (April 29), we spotted the "creamy" Nivea Hyaluron Cellular Filler Anti-Age Night Cream reduced by more than half price.
Boasting an overall 4.4 rating, this 'intensive' anti-ageing cream is a combination of powerful anti-age actives that are said to provide a "filler" effect to the skin within 24 hours. It uses magnolia extract to keep your skin "soft" and "non-greasy".
However, it is the inclusion of two types of hyaluronic acid that makes this anti-ageing cream a must for many. In addition with folic acid, it is said to leave your skin looking "younger" and "fuller", according to reviews.
Right now, you can bag this "lush" cream for just £8.25 for a 50ml tub, down from £17.49 - a total saving of 53 percent. Superdrug also has it on offer for £8.74, while major retailer Boots still stocks it for full-price.
Included in 'Amazon's Choice' of products, this affordable night cream has been impressing even sceptical skincare enthusiasts who say it "does exactly as promised" and has "filled in parts of their face."
One happy customer wrote: "I like this cream very much I thought my skin looked fuller and younger looking."
The Nivea Hyaluron Cellular Filler Anti-Age Night Cream can be bought for £8.25, down from £17.49, on Amazon here.
A third beauty fan agreed: "I bought this lotion to take on holiday and it was an absolute dream! It nourished my dry, post-sun skin and left a gorgeous, natural sheen and I felt that it really helped soothe my skin and prepare it for another day of sunshine! I love the botanical smell, it's so unique and refreshing. This is always in my body care kit now!"
And another five-star review read: "I have recently come back from Greece! This product was amazing after a long day in the sun as it soaks into the skin nicely, with a lovely scent and left not feeling sticky! Also I haven't started peeled yet and its keeping my tan nice a glowing since I have come home!"
Not all shoppers were left impressed, as one shopper awarded it three-stars for its "sweet" scent and "thick" formula. They said: "Moisturiser- this is quite thick it does soak in really well, but for me I wasn’t crazy about the fragrance, which is very sweet."
