I am, above all things, obsessed with my skin. Not just on my face, says editor Trudi Brewer who shares a hard-working solution to ageing, sun damage or badly behaved skin from the neck down.

The Solution is a range of body products that will correct breakouts, blotchy, sagging or dry, thirsty skin if you use it daily. The brand promises to offer everyone "Hard-working, radiance revealing body formulations using the power of proven active ingredients at efficacious levels to target your skin concerns."
I rate that - here’s more about the range.
The Solution Salicylic Acid Clear Skin Body Gel, $25.
For skin prone to behaving badly, the exfoliating properties of salicylic acid target the excess oil and correct skin breakouts. Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) with tea tree extract in this gel formula (which absorbs in seconds) help address acne-prone skin and reduce the look of redness - fast.

The Solution Retinol Smoothing Body Lotion, $25
The Solution Retinol Smoothing Body Lotion, $25.
The heavy-hitting blend of retinol (vitamin A), arbutin (mulberry root and bearberry extracts), and Shea Butter, with lemon peel, lavender, patchouli, rosemary leaf oils will improve the tone and overall brightness of your skin. This lotion leaves a gentle herbal scent and a velvet-like finish so you can dress immediately after applying it.
The Solution Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Body Lotion, $25.
My personal favourite in the range, from the minute you apply it, floods the skin with moisture. This lotion melts on contact, plumping those fine lines (great for those deep sleep lines on the decollete) thanks to the blend of hyaluronic acid (that famous moisture magnet), squalane and red sea algae complex - a little goes a long way.

The Solution Vitamin C Brightening Body Lotion, $25
The Solution Vitamin C Brightening Body Lotion, $25.
This glow-giving lotion is ideal if you want to show off your skin. Before a special occasion, try the vitamin boost of A, C and E with licorice extract for boosting natural radiance. While the sunflower seed oil and papaya extract moisturise and leave a light fruity scent.
The Solution Collagen Perfecting Body Cream, $25.
Possibly the most luxurious and defiantly the most hydrating this lotion-like cream is stacked with pro-collagen, coconut oil, caffeine, salicylic acid, chia seed oil, radish root ferment and turmeric root extract. Together they nourish and brighten the skin leaving it drenched in creamy, milky scent without feeling greasy.
