Ramadan is the one time of the year when the body can use a little extra nourishing. Cue Augustinus Bader's latest drop, the Geranium Rose body cream. Made with the same award-winning formula, the moisturising concoction stands out for its delicate rose scent and does more than just hydrate. The formula is clinically proven to visibly reduce cellulite and stretch marks and result in firmer, smoother skin from the décolleté down. The secret to its effectiveness is TFC8, Augustinus Bader’s proprietary technology, which supports skin cell communication.
