Okay, your body isn't exposed to sun and air pollution as often as your face, but it still deserves some TLC. Discover how to maintain healthy skin all over. 

You’ve got your skincare routine down to a T, you’re eating healthy and drinking plenty of water, but what are you doing for the skin on your body? Let’s take a look at what you can be doing to love and care for your body from head to toe.

HOW TO BUILD A BODY CARE ROUTINE

Cleanse 

Clean skin is one of the most important parts of caring for yourself. Like the first step in a proper skincare routine, you need a clean canvas in order for all those lovely body products to work their magic on your skin. Dirt, sweat, perfume, lotion, sunscreen, all need to be cleaned off of the skin and our foaming shower gels do the job exceedingly well.  

Exfoliate

There’s no better way to give your skin a fresh and radiant glow than by exfoliating it properly. And no wonder – it literally removes dead skin cells to make room for new ones. But, with near-endless scrub options, which type is right for you? Our new body scrubs contain salt, sugar or mild exfoliating particles, as well as potent and special ingredients to benefit the skin. Check out our scrub school article to discover which body scrub works best for your skin type.

Boost 

If you’re a fan of our natural boosters for the face then you’ll be please to know we now have cutting-edge boosters for the body. For those who haven’t tried our natural boosters – they are concentrated serums that contain active ingredients such as bakuchiol (nature’s retinol), brightening vitamin C and hydrating hyaluronic acid.  

For the body, we have two natural boosters – our Natural Booster Body hyaluronic acid is a water-based formula enriched with hyaluronic acid to give the skin a surge of hydration leaving it softer and smoother. We also have a Natural Booster Body bakuchiol, a featherweight, oil-based elixir it enhances and evens your skin tone. Both boosters can be used under body lotion. 

Serum 

Elevate your body care routine with our limited-edition The Ritual of Yozakura  body serum containing 5% niacinamide and black rice extract. Niacinamide is best known for its brightening properties and helps even skin tone and texture. This serum's light consistency allows for deep absorption into the skin's surface, providing instant hydration and a radiant, smooth complexion. It infuses nourishing, active ingredients into the skin to help regenerate and repair, leaving it looking supple and smooth. 

Moisturise 

After cleansing, exfoliating and applying your targeted booster, the best thing you can do is slather on a rich body cream while your skin is still damp, as this will help lock in that moisture. Full of skin-saving ingredients, our nourishing body creams will make your skin feel like a dream and enhance the texture and tone. 

If you’re feeling a bit lazy (don’t we all, sometimes), you can opt for more nourishing in-shower cleanser like a rich shower oil to effectively clean and hydrate the body in one go. Still, I would recommend making the time to apply a body cream, dry body oil or our innovative body lotion mousse to every inch of you.  

Mask 

Want to ramp up the hydration and nourishment? Just like a mask for the face, The Ritual of Karma overnight body mask supports skin's moisture level with a hydrating ingredient complex of aloe vera, squalane and algae. This unique complex works while you sleep to soothe dehydrated and thirsty skin and boost suppleness and elasticity. 

Make it mindful 

Take the time to slow down and give yourself a little well-deserved self-care. Paying true attention to each step of a carefully chosen body care routine will have a much more profound effect than blindly going through the motions. It is the difference between a mindless routine and a soulful one that creates a radiant reflection worthy of you and your body.
