When it comes to our beauty regimens, the face often takes center stage, but your body care routine deserves just as much thought.
Whether you’re improving your current habits or starting fresh, we’ve got a few simple ways to upgrade your ritual and leave your skin visibly soft and smooth, from head to toe.
The Best Body Skin Care Routine
From washing to exfoliating and moisturizing, here’s how to build the best body care routine, layer by layer.
Step One: Wash Your Body
Your body care routine should always begin with a thorough wash from head to toe, creating a fresh base that preps your skin for the rest of your ritual.
We recommend choosing a gentle one, like our Anti-Stress Bath & Shower Gel, which is free from sulfates and alcohol, and formulated to be non-irritating during cleansing.
Step Two: Exfoliate
A must-have step in your body care routine, exfoliating helps buff away buildup and reveals a smoother-looking surface underneath. This also works to keep uneven texture in check, promoting a visibly balanced, healthy base.
In the evening, opt for a comforting, sensorial exfoliant like our Chocolate Indulgence Foaming Salt Scrub to complement your self-care routine. For mornings, switch to something more energizing, such as our fruit-scented De-Aging Saltmousse – Papaya-Pineapple, for a refreshing start to the day.
To apply, massage a generous amount over your skin in circular motions, paying particular attention to drier areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
Be sure to limit application to two or three times a week to avoid overdoing it and risking irritation.
Expert Tip: For a more intense lather, try using an exfoliating mitt.
Step Three: Shave
If shaving is part of your body care routine, doing it after exfoliating may help prevent your razor from clogging and give you a smoother finish.
Always make sure your blade is clean to help avoid irritation. Pairing it with a cream like our Easy- Glide Shaving Emulsion, gel, or foam could also support a smoother, more comfortable glide
Step Four: Rinse
Be sure to rinse thoroughly to wash away any leftover product, which could help prevent further buildup.
Use warm water instead of hot, as higher temperatures may lead to dryness. Once you're finished, gently pat your skin dry and leave it slightly damp to help your moisturizer absorb more effectively.
Step Five: Moisturize
This step is essential in your body care routine, helping to rejuvenate after cleansing and exfoliating.
For best results, choose formulas enriched with moisturizing ingredients like shea butter or hyaluronic acid. Our Chocolate Indulgence blend combines both to deliver lasting softness.
While your skin is still slightly damp, apply a cream all over your body. For more targeted care, you might apply a serum first or follow up with a body oil to lock in moisture.
Finally, remember to apply sunscreen to any exposed areas in the morning.
Your body care routine is a time to unwind, reset, and feel your best. Soft textures, comforting scents, and supple-looking skin from head to toe - what’s not to love?
