Called the most seductive range ever released by The Body Shop, the Smoky Poppy Collection features products laced with the extract of oil-rich poppies and a burst of blissful moisture. Featuring real, hand-picked poppies from the Ankara region of Turkey, this indulgent collection is perfect for Valentines Day, don’t you think?
A recent global body care study conducted by The Body Shop revealed that 44% of women don’t feel skin-ready for a spontaneous physical romantic encounter, and 48% of women only body-moisturize for dates and intimacy. Say what? What are we doing with our skin the rest of the time, ladies? If not for your partner, having soft, supple and deliciously scented skin is something we should be doing for ourselves. I know I’m always in a better mood when I feel fabulous and have pampered myself with products – we should all do that more often (and maybe a bit of the rest more often too) 😉
One of our readers is going to win the Smoky Poppy Deluxe Collection (SRP: $50) from The Body Shop! It’s the perfect treat for a body-ready Valentine’s Day. Indulge with the rich, black Shower Gel, caress with the Poppy Flower Sponge, smooth the way to sensuality with the Body Scrub and Body Butter, and turn heads with the alluring Eau de Toilette.

I moisturize every day! I would dry up like a raisin if I didn’t! Lol! For special occasions I might use a lotion that matches my perfume.

Those percentages surprise me. I moisturize every day. My skin is dry and I need it.My hands I do multiple times a day.
I moisturize daily as my skin needs it
I moisturize every single day!! my skin is very dry especially in the cold months so it is a must for me
When I shower, (not daily, that tends to dry me out more!) I will do a lotion -full body. Every day my face & hands get done. Hands maybe several times a day. It’s very dry in my building!

Honestly, I barely remember to shower as often as I should. With two toddlers, it’s not easy! I’ve started keeping some moisturizer at my desk though, so I remember during down time/

I’m surprised 48% of women only body-moisturize for dates and intimacy – i figured most women would do it much more frequently, and not just for ‘specific occasions’. I body moisturize after almost every shower.

I use moisturizer twice a day, sometimes more often on my hands, so I find the study results hard to identify with.
The moment I step out of the shower in the morning I moisturize and it is the last thing I do at night. One of my favorite things to do is to slather my feet with moisturizer and then put socks on. I do this just before I go to bed a couple times a month. Not very sexy but I sure love how my feet feel in the morning.
I use moisturizer everywhere, everyday!
I moisturize only when the weather gets really cold and my skin gets dry. I should be nicer to myself and do it every day!
