5 Products to Enhance Your Body Care Routine
We believe that body care is self-care. Many of us spend a considerable amount of time and energy investing in our facial skincare with beautiful serums and hydrating masks, but too often forget and neglect all that lies below the neck. We're on a mission to change that by encouraging a skinification of the body mind set, which means having a dedicated head-to-toe routine. Below are five products to add into your body care routine for maximum results.
1. DRY BODY BRUSH
DRY BODY BRUSHING is an ancient Ayurvedic practice with some incredible beauty benefits. Done for a few minutes daily before your shower or bath, it's a simple exercise that gets your blood flowing and is believed to soften and smooth the skin. Some even say it can help to treat stretch marks and cellulite. Take a firm-bristled dry body brush and gently sweep it across the surface of the skin in circular motions, starting at the feet and working your way up across each limb. This gives your body a complete lymphatic drainage massage.
2. QUALITY RAZOR
For women who choose to shave, we're often shaving a larger surface area of the body than men – yet our options in this space have remained limited and outdated. We set out to create the world's most beautiful razor. It's been ergonomically designed to fit perfectly in your hand and created specifically for the way women shave. It turns this daily task into an act of self-care, providing an opportunity to connect with yourself and honour the skin you're in. The LUI RAZOR works with your curves to give you your best shave yet – wherever you choose to use it.
3. RED LIGHT THERAPY
Red light therapy technology was originally developed by NASA and has been adopted by the beauty industry for its healing benefits. LED is thought to accelerate collagen and elastic production, helping to tighten and tone the skin, while soothing inflammation and reducing the signs of premature ageing. There are some fantastic options on the market to treat specific areas of the body from the comfort of home, such as 'collar' LED masks that target the neck and decolletage, and patches that can be applied to specific areas requiring a little extra love e.g. bruising or scarring. Some skincare clinics and wellness centres even have full-body LED machines and booths!
4. INFRARED SAUNA
Not only are they super relaxing, but INFRARED SAUNAS can give your at-home body care routine a boost. Along with relieving aching muscles and discomfort in the body, basking in the glow of an infra-red sauna can calm down red and inflamed skin, help to fight off acne-causing bacteria (a godsend for anyone who gets bacne!), and flush toxins out of the body due to increased sweat. Plus, you'll probably have a better night's sleep for it.
5. ORGANIC TOWEL
A big soft fluffy towel is the perfect accoutrement for your body care routine. What feels better after stepping out of an everything shower or bath and cocooning yourself in cotton? We love organic cotton towels. Not only is this natural fibre kinder to the environment (relying on less resources for its production) but it's also safer for the body in that it's free from pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fertilisers.
