Why this worksBuilding a solid body care routine helps maintain skin hydration and barrier function. Regularly exfoliating, moisturising, and protecting your skin can lead to improved texture and radiance. Each step plays a vital role in keeping your skin healthy and looking its best.

The ritual, step by step

Start with Exfoliation Begin by gently exfoliating your skin once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells. This will help your moisturiser penetrate better and leave your skin feeling smooth.
Moisturise Daily After showering, apply a nourishing body moisturiser to lock in hydration. Focus on areas that tend to be drier, like elbows and knees, for maximum benefit.
Incorporate Body Oils For an extra boost of hydration, consider adding a body oil to your routine. Apply it on damp skin to seal in moisture and add a healthy glow.
Protect with SPF Don’t forget to protect your skin from UV damage. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to exposed areas daily, even on cloudy days, to keep your skin safe and youthful.

Where people go wrong

Common mistakes include over-exfoliating, which can irritate the skin, and skipping moisturiser, leaving skin dry. Many also forget to apply sunscreen, leading to premature ageing. It’s essential to use products suited for your skin type to avoid adverse reactions.

The pro moveTry layering a body oil underneath your moisturiser for enhanced hydration.
