Why this worksCooler weather can leave your skin feeling dry and lacklustre. By incorporating rich moisturisers and gentle exfoliants, you can help maintain your skin’s moisture barrier and keep it looking healthy. This routine focuses on using nourishing ingredients that hydrate and protect your skin against the elements.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Gentle Exfoliation Start your routine with a gentle body scrub to remove dead skin cells. Use a scrub with natural exfoliants, focusing on areas that tend to get rough, like elbows and knees. Rinse thoroughly to reveal smoother skin.
  2. Hydrating Body Wash Follow up with a hydrating body wash that includes moisturising ingredients. Apply it using a loofah or your hands, massaging it into your skin to cleanse and add hydration. Rinse well to leave your skin feeling soft and clean.
  3. Rich Body Lotion Once you step out of the shower, apply a rich body lotion or cream while your skin is still damp. This helps lock in moisture. Focus on areas that typically get dry, and don’t skimp on the product!
  4. Layering Oils For an extra boost, consider layering a body oil on top of your lotion. This can add a protective barrier and enhance hydration. Massage it into your skin, especially on your legs and arms for a lovely glow.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip exfoliation, thinking it’s unnecessary in colder months, but that’s a mistake! Also, using hot water can strip moisture, so stick to lukewarm. Finally, don’t forget to apply lotion on damp skin for maximum hydration.

The pro moveTry warming your body lotion in your hands before applying for a more luxurious feel.
