I'm a Beauty Editor, and I Love The Body Shop—These Are the Products I Swear By

This recent reformulation of The Body Shop's classic Fresh Nude Foundation is totally game-changing. I can't get enough of it. It leaves skin looking glowing and healthy beyond compare and has a refreshing scent and feel that livens up tired complexions. Plus, it's available in 40 shades. I recommend everyone gives it a go. 

Few things make me happier than ridding my face of the day's dirt with a rich, skin-soothing cleanser. This particular product not only melts away makeup and grime in a matter of seconds, but it also leaves my sensitive skin feeling calmed and nourished. 

I'm no fan of sickly scents or sticky formulas, so anything that champions a fruity fragrance isn't usually to my liking. Having said that, this hand cream is nourishing without being too thick and greasy. And the smell? Think freshly squeezed oranges without the sweet headiness.

Truthfully, I find myself reaching for soothing face masks more often than I'd like. My sensitive skin often flares up when I'm trying out a new product, and I like to have an edit of products that I know I can trust to calm everything back down. This is one of them. Formulated with creamy oatmeal and almond milk, it calms, soothes and nourishes all at once. I'd bathe in this stuff if I could. 

From a sensitive-skin saviour straight on to a product that means serious business. Not for the faint-hearted, this exfoliating treatment uses crushed garnet stones to powerfully exfoliate and leave your complexion looking its glowing best. Be careful not to overdo it. I only reach for this when my skin is really congested. 

Once upon a time, my go-to body moisturiser was The Body Shop Body Butter, but then the body yogurt came along. Whereas the butters are thick, rich and sometimes struggle to absorb, the body yogurts are lightweight, airy and sink into skin in a matter of seconds. Plus, they leave behind the dreamiest of scents. My favourite? This calming Almond Milk Body Yogurt is ideal for the winter months when my dry, sensitive skin tends to play up.

For days when your skin seems to be behaving itself as best as it can and you don't want to do anything to upset it, this nourishing cleanser is all you need. It's jam-packed with vitamin E, so expect soft, supple skin that just looks healthy. 

I like my bath soaks to be luxurious, and this genuinely could not be further away from the sort of products I usually reach for. It provides ample bubbles, leaves your bath water orange and smells like orange Starbursts, but I love it. It's the perfect way to finish off an otherwise drab day.

Anyone who comes to me with any kind of skin concern walks away with a tub of this stuff. In fact, I'm sure that everyone who knows me is sick to death of me harping on about how great it is. But really, it is. Ideal for anyone who is looking for a way to remove their makeup without stripping their skin, this nourishing cleansing balm makes for the ultimate first cleanse. I can't get enough of it. Seriously, I can't. Please, Body Shop. Bring out a bigger tub.

If you have any sort of scalp irritation, this unsung hero could be just what you need. I don't have notable dandruff, but those I know who do swear by this shampoo to keep everything in check. Formulated with ginger essential oil from Sri Lanka, it not only rids hair of flakes but also soothes aggravated scalps, and the abundance of five-star reviews agree. Needless to say, there's always a bottle in my bathroom cupboard for desperate times. 

When skin is seriously parched, this little pot of cream provides it with a welcome drink. Holding three different types of precious seed oils, expect skin to be left plump, dewy and radiant. 

Before I discovered this stuff, I wasn't much of a face-oil sort of person. My oily but sensitive skin type often makes it hard to find oils that don't either break me out or cause some sort of reaction. This stuff, however, does nothing but soothe, lock in my skincare and leave my complexion seriously glowy. It's all I have ever wanted in a facial oil.

You didn't think I'd forget to mention a zingy shower gel, did you? It's a simple shower gel, sure, but the uplifting zesty satsuma scent can't be beaten first thing in the morning.

It's not very glamorous, I know, but this hardworking foot cream is absolutely brilliant. It's rich in essential fatty acids, and I just pop some on my feet every time I get out of the shower or bath to keep them baby-soft all day long. 

Like so many other people, I really struggle to find the perfect product that offers daily sun protection. Most formulas are thick, leave a white cast and/or break me out. This moisturising lotion, however, is lightweight, hydrating and super-comfortable, and it contains serious protection.

If you're not massively into body scrubs, this nourishing, gloopy formula might be enough to change your mind. Not only is it suitable for sensitive dry skin, leaves limbs glowing, and boosts circulation, but it's also incredibly easy to use without creating too much mess. 

There's nothing revolutionary about this tiny bottle. What's inside is just pure tea tree oil. However, The Body Shop was one of the first places that I discovered to sell this on a mass scale, and I've remained loyal since I first discovered the drying abilities of tea tree as a teenager. Just dab the tiniest amount to soothe red, angry spots. 

This hand wash smells absolutely incredible. It's sweet and creamy but with grown-up, smoky notes too. I keep a bottle of this on both my kitchen and bathroom sinks. 

Previously known as Drops of Youth Concentrate, one bottle of this serum sells every 27 seconds thanks to its ability to protect skin from external aggressors and fight against ageing. I'd go as far as to say that it's one of my favourite antioxidant serums out there. 

For those who suffer from dry lips, this lip liquid couldn't be better. Infused with nourishing oils, it delivers subtle shimmery colour without any hint of dryness. 

For days when my skin is a little oilier and congested, I reach for this purifying mask. Applied just to the T-zone if your skin is generally drier or allover if it's oily, this clay mask really does help reduce the appearance of pores.
