Julia Roberts

Winter can be tough on our skin, but a bottle of olive oil might just save the day. Celebrities apparently agree: while Sophia Loren was said to enjoy soaking in a bath of the stuff, Julia Roberts has admitted to using it on her hands. "Olive oil or nut-based oils like Almond or Coconut oil provide great moisturisation and can be a really effective store cupboard stand-by," agrees hairdresser to the stars, Richard Ward.

We recommend: Aromatherapy Associates Enrich Massage and Body Oil (aromatherapyassociates.com), it smells amazing and contains macadamia, coconut and olive oil.
