Certain parts of a winter beauty routine tend to get all the attention, like a richer night cream layered on before bed, or a nourishing lip balm within reach at all times. But the skin on the rest of the body can all too easily become an afterthought until evidence of neglect starts to show. Cracked hands, flaky shins, dry elbows, and that tight, slightly uncomfortable feeling after a hot shower are all common skin concerns at this time of year.

Heated offices, hot baths, and evenings spent beside the fire might make the season more bearable, but the constant shift between cold air and artificial warmth can leave skin feeling depleted. And although layering up in wool coats and thick knits might have hidden what’s happening underneath, it doesn’t exactly help matters. With spring now in the air, you can’t keep ignoring the fact that your skin probably needs a little intervention.

Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel offers a targeted approach to tackling dry skin. Designed for everyday dryness through to more persistent dry patches and problem areas, it rethinks traditional creamy moisturisers by replacing the inactive water typically found in lotions and body butters with oil, making it 100 per cent active in helping address dry skin.

And despite being oil-based, it has a lightweight gel texture that absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave skin feeling greasy.

The formula brings together ingredients often found in high-performing skincare, including glycerin, urea, hyaluronic acid, lanolin, vitamins A and E, and plant oils. Together, they help support moisture in the skin while softening the look and feel of dryness. Clinically tested, Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel has shown a significant improvement in the appearance of skin in as little as 24 hours, though results will vary from person to person.

It’s also a multitasker, suitable for both face and body, and can be used by sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin types, as it is non-comedogenic so it won’t clog pores. For those who experience dry skin associated with conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, or heat rash, it may help offer relief from symptoms, too.

An easy addition to your daily routine, Bio-Oil Dry Skin Gel is best applied to clean skin after showering and before your SPF. A little goes a long way, so work the gel into areas that need it most, such as shins, elbows, hands, and knees, or smooth it on from top to toe for that all-over dry skin TLC your body deserves.
