Why this worksIn summer, our skin can become dry and lackluster due to sun exposure and sweat. A consistent body care routine hydrates and exfoliates, promoting a smoother texture and a natural glow. By layering products effectively, you can enhance your skin's radiance and keep it healthy despite the heat.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Exfoliate Weekly Use a gentle body scrub or exfoliating glove once a week. Focus on areas prone to dryness, like elbows and knees. This helps remove dead skin cells, revealing fresh, glowing skin underneath.
  2. Hydrate Daily After your shower, apply a nourishing body moisturiser while your skin is still damp. Look for products with hydrating ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil. This locks in moisture and keeps your skin soft and supple.
  3. Incorporate a Body Oil For an extra dose of hydration, apply a body oil after your moisturiser. This adds a protective layer and enhances your skin's glow. Massage it in to boost circulation and improve absorption.
  4. Use Sunscreen Never skip sunscreen on exposed skin during summer. Opt for a broad-spectrum SPF that suits your skin type. This protects against UV damage and helps maintain your skin's health and glow.
60-sec versionExfoliate weekly, hydrate daily with moisturiser, add body oil, and always wear sunscreen.

Where people go wrong

Many people forget to exfoliate, leading to dull skin. Skipping moisturiser after showering can also leave your skin dry. Remember to apply sunscreen generously and reapply throughout the day for effective protection.

The pro moveTry adding a few drops of your favourite essential oil to your body oil for an aromatic experience while moisturising.
