Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Nothing repairs and nourishes sun parched skin faster than a body oil. And with the latest technology the greasy beauty oils of the past have been replaced with dry oils that sink in immediately leaving skin ultra hydrated.
We've tried and tested a range; from The Sanctuary's good-value oil to de Mamiel's luxury version.

Verdict:
The Jo Malone oil is spectacularly sensual and heady – perfect for hot summer nights. Paul & Joe's fresh, citrusy oil leaves limbs beautifully glossy. Hard-working Neal's Yard gets you bikini-ready as it tones and detoxes wobbly bits, and cult classic Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse is a multi-tasker extraordinaire.
