5 Body Care Hacks For Soft, Smooth Limbs
Want silky and radiant arms and legs? There's a hack for that. We believe in working smarter, not harder, when it comes to your body care routine. These five super simple adjustments can transform your daily ritual, giving you maximum results with minimal effort.
1. APPLY MOISTURISER TO DAMP SKIN
If you're looking for lasting hydration, apply your body moisturiser to your skin as soon as you step out of the shower or bath. Applying moisturiser onto damp skin, as opposed to dry skin, will ensure that it most effectively traps water content into the skin, keeping it looking plump and juicy all day. The skin is most absorbent when it's still wet, which allows all of those beautiful ingredients to more deeply penetrate the skin rather than just providing surface-level hydration. Luxuriously nourishing and pH-balanced, our BODY MOISTURISER is formulated with squalane and niacinamide to elevate moisture levels, along with an antioxidant-rich blend of honeysuckle extract, cloudberry oil, soybean oil and shea butter to soothe and soften.
2. USE AN OIL TO SEAL IN MOISTURE
Body oils are OCCLUSIVES, meaning they have a high molecular weight and are primarily made up of lipids (fatty compounds found naturally in the skin). Body oils form a physical layer on top of the skin, creating a protective barrier that prevents transepidermal water loss. This essentially seals all of your moisturiser ingredients into your skin. Due to their thick formulation, oils should be applied as the final step in your body care routine, on top of moisturisers and any other products such as serums or treatments. This two-step process is particularly beneficial for dry skin or those with an IMPAIRED SKIN BARRIER.
3. SLOUGH AWAY DEAD SKIN CELLS
Our skin cells regenerate every 30 days, a process which slows down as we age. A build-up of dead skin cells results in dry, rough and textured patches. This is why it's particularly important to INCORPORATE EXFOLIATION into your body care routine. Our BODY POLISH contains a considered blend of physical and chemical exfoliators (the best of both worlds!) and is gentle enough for use every other day. Along with creating smooth skin, regular exfoliation can also help to treat BODY ACNE and INGROWN HAIRS.
4. SAY GOODBYE TO RAZOR BURN
RAZOR BURN appears as an inflamed red rash. Not only does it look angry and aggravated, it can also cause discomfort. Banish razor burn for good by ensuring you're using the right tools. Our RAZOR has been ergonomically designed to sit comfortably in your hand. A soft-touch grip and perfectly weighted handle provides control and precision. Five diamond-sharp blades, enclosed in a moisturising Vitamin E cushion, make for an exceptionally close shave while rehydrating the skin.
5. USE A DRY BODY BRUSH
An ancient Ayurvedic practice, DRY BODY BRUSHING is an at-home hack for the softest and smoothest skin. Simply take a firm bristled dry body brush and work it in upwards strokes across your limbs, starting at your feet. This will stimulate blood flow and help to keep your lymphatic system clean and clear. As a form of PHYSICAL EXFOLIATION, it also removes dead cells to result in supple skin.
