MY TOP 3 BODY MOISTURISERS: EVERY DAY, EVENING & GRADUAL TAN

As the weather has been getting warmer I've found myself reaching for body moisturisers much more frequently - not only to help lock in my tan, fake or natural, but to keep my skin hydrated in the heat. 
I've decided to split my favourite moisturisers in 3 categories: Every Day, Evening and Gradual Tanning. These are my favourites that I've discovered - 
Every Day 

Derma Vio Coconut Body Butter, 99p - Body Care

I'm a great lover of anything coconut scented, so when I came across this cheap and cheerful Derma Vio body butter from Savers, I couldn't resist. The consistancy is super luxurious and creamy, but doesn't feel too heavy on the skin. It's perfect for everyday use. In comparison to The Body Shops coconut body butter, it has a similar feel, however the scent doesn't last on the skin along as  The Body Shops version, but for a fraction of the price this body butter is a steal.

Evening

The Body Shop's White Musk Sun Glow Body Purée - £9.00

This is a new addition to my collection of body moisturisers and it's fast become my favourite. The Body Shops white musk sun Glow body purée is a lightly whipped, refreshing take on the classic body lotion. For me, it was the scent that won me over - it smells absolutely divine, it reminds me of an exotic summery concoction with a mix of parma violets. Honestly, if you haven't smelt this, you need to! 
The consistency is really light weight and the scent is extremely long lasting, almost acting as a perfume. I added this as an evening moisturiser as I think it will add a perfect glow and scent for summer nights out. 

Gradual Tanning

Garnier Summer Body - £2.53 (on offer at Superdrug at the moment, RRP £5.06)

I've always been a big fan of gradual tanners in the moisturiser form, as it gives the skin a break from heavy fake tans. Garnier Summer Body has been my gradual tanner of choice for about 3 weeks now and I don't think I'd ever change. The colour pay off with this tan is a beautiful bronze glow, without having too much of a nasty fake tan, biscuity smell. I've been loving this product as of late, especially with the weather in England perking up. I apply it after a day in the sun, and it adds an extra boost to my natural tan, with no tango orange in sight.

What are your favourite moisturisers? 

Lots of Love
