Hi everyone, it's Gabby Logan here from the Midpoint podcast. And this week we're sponsored by

Nivia-rich-nourishing body lotion, the perfect solution for dry skin that gives you an extra glow.

I think there's something wonderful about having skin that looks and feels healthy. It makes me feel

great. And when I'm feeling great, I can go about my day, feeling more confident in myself.

And this is something that's

so important to me. If I've got a really long day on set, there's one thing I've always used,

it's Nivia's Rich Nourishing Body Lotion. I think it's a bit of a skincare icon. And now it has a new

moisturization, then grab yourself a bottle of nivir-rich nourishing body lotion today.
