A good body care routine does not require 10 products or a whole hour. The best ones are perfect for busy Monday morning and enjoyable to look forward to.
Regardless of the product, smooth, soft and moisturized skin starts here.
What you need: Bath and shower gel and Body scrub
Cleanse with Shower gel
Wash away dust, sweat and leftover product using the LuvEsence bath & shower gel. This leaves your skin feeling fresh and not tight. Keep the water warm instead of scorching hot, since that strips your skin’s natural oils, and rinse well so no product is left behind. The best part is that you get to choose how your shower smells: go fruity with our Strawberry or Mandarin range, or floral with Waterlily, Spanish Jasmine or Rose.
Add a scrub once or twice a week
A body scrub removes dead skin cells, smooths the skin and helps your moisturizer absorb better afterwards. Massage it onto damp skin in gentle circles, spend a little extra time on elbows, knees and heels, then rinse thoroughly.
This is the step that makes your skin feel soft. Pat yourself dry and apply your moisturizers while your skin is still slightly damp, so the moisture stays locked in.
What you need: lip balm, and body butter, body smoothie or body lotion depending on your skin type.
After your shower, gently pat yourself dry and moisturise within a few minutes. Skin that is still slightly damp holds onto moisture better, so your product works harder and the softness lasts longer.
Pick the right texture
• Body lotion: Perfect for normal skin.
• Body butter: For dry skin.
• Body smoothie: For extra dry skin.
Don’t forget your lips
Your lips have thinner skin and no oil glands of their own, so they dry out easily. Keep a lip balm in your bag and reapply through the day.
What you need: deodorant and a body mist
Start with deodorant
Apply deodorant to clean, dry underarm skin to stay fragrant through the day.
Finish with a body mist
Spray your body mist on your neck, wrists and around the chest area where warmer skin helps scent last longer. Spray from about 15 to 20 cm away, and do not rub your wrists together, which can break down the fragrance. Body mists are light, so a quick refresh after lunch or before an evening out keeps you fragrant as ever.
Since you moisturized in step two, your skin is already hydrated, and fragrance clings better to hydrated skin.
