4.      Kit Cosmetics Tropical Coconut Body Wash ($19.95) and Body Lotion ($27.55) from Kit Cosmetics

These products make a perfect, yet inexpensive gift for someone who maybe needs a holiday but hasn’t had one in a while.

This AHA facial peel removes the past away and allows the new fresh, more youthful you to welcome 2013 with a fresh outlook and great skin. Visit aurorasparetreat.com.au for more details.
