This Ouai Body Cream Will Transfer Your Legs from Dry to Supple
I’m absolutely head-over-heels for this body creme, and not just because the light notes of rose and citrus are oh-so soothing. I like to use it two or three times a week to help keep my legs from drying out — and if I’m being honest? You can really tell the difference between this stuff and cheaper lotions. It absorbs quickly, but the nourishing squalane instantly leaves my skin feeling supple — not just sorta wet.
