It's officially time to shed your summer skin and prepare for the cooler weather. Find out which body conditioning products Bh members are raving about right now…
Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash, from $15.50 (75mL)
"I felt so blessed to receive this to try. It smells divine. A sensual blend of essential oils has your senses doing star jumps and your skin feels luxurious. I'm hooked. It comes in a handy pump bottle, which is great for the shower and is so massive it will last forever as you don't need to use much. At $67.50 for 500mL, I'll be keeping this one out of my daughter's reach – I am going to make this experience last as long as I can. Would I buy it? Sure. A girl deserves to treat herself!" Rating: 5/5 – Saramaree, trial team member
L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Moisturizing Body Cream, $58.95
"Filled with wonderful ingredients, it's good enough to eat, but I definitely won't because that would be wasting an incredible product!
The whipped texture is definitely its biggest plus point – it's so soft, smooth and utterly heavenly against my skin. Moisturises well. L'Occitane is really good for products like this!" Rating: 5/5 – Maesha
Pevonia Botanica Essential Oil Bath Salts Anti-Stress, $45
"I purchased these on a whim following a treatment. After floating out of the treatment room, I decided I wanted the feeling to last as long as possible so I splurged on these salts. They are amazing: I feel like the water is softer and the aroma is ooooohhhhhhh-so nice. A soak in a warm bath with these salts will have you feeling on top of the world." Rating: 5/5 – Princess75
Vani-T Body Shampoo – Hydrating Body Wash, $17.50
"How yummy is this? Answer: extremely. The fragrance takes me away to another place and my skin is left feeling amazing, especially my décolletage, which becomes softer, smoother and younger-looking. This is not only a body wash – it's an all-in-one super treatment. I have yet to use it as a hair and facial cleanser, but will report back when I do." Rating: 5/5 – Glamourcat
Reniu Coconut Sugar Rub, $28
"Yes, this scrub does work... The granules are big enough and something else in it, probably the alpha hydroxy acids, combines with [the granules] to deliver that slightly raw, tingly, super clean feeling. At the same time, the oils moisturise the skin and you walk out of the shower with your skin feeling sooo soft. But the best part is the smell. I love smelling like summer and the scent of this is unmistakably tropical and so good. I go around smelling my arm until the scent wears off. Strange, I know, but it's seriously that yummy." Rating: 5/5 – shaqi

I'm going shopping for winter skin products this weekend. Now that I've found the best summer moisturiser the weather changes & I need to start searching for a winter moisturiser that isn't too heavy. Sigh

yet another great pic of products and they've been given top marks for members. I've been on the lookout for a lovely bath soak. I must give the Pevonia product a try particularly after reading princess75's review. It sounds devine - infact all five products sound devine!

I had a sample sachet of one of the L'Occitane body butters/creams and it soooo good on my legs.

The body shampoo sounds a great one to try, but I wonder whether it can be used it hair as well? I agree with GG - it would be good to make a home-made salt treatment, especially since it's cheap!

the salts are fabulous. GG you could always make your own. just buy the epsom salts from the supermarket and if you have some essential oils add them. i just loved the combination in these ones.

Where do you get the Vani-T body wash from? I've heard good things about it.
Ed: Hi Fluttrgrl, just a heads up - whenever you see a product/ brand name highlighted in blue, it's a clickable link. Follow it and you'll be taken to product listings (which feature stockist details or consumer hotlines to call for your closest store) or a list of stockist phone numbers/ websites. Click on the Vani-T product name and all will be revealed... Tx

Coconut sugar scrub sounds yum - I just can't let go of summer and usually spend the whole winter pining for it, trying to substitute with products just like this! Will definitely try it..

the reniu scrub is divine. I have it in coconut infusion. I am curious to try the pineapple one too. The pure fiji range is the premium brand from reniu, i love their lotions & oils.

I have ordered the vani-t body shampoo and i cant wait! coconut is my favourite smell, it just takes you somewhere tropical and leaves you feeling just little bit warmer in the cold winter months
