Ingredients To Look For In Your Body Care Products
Here at LUI, we think the skin on your body deserves to be treated with the same devotion as the skin on your face. The skin on your body has its own unique set of concerns and covers such a large surface area, yet most of the focus tends to land above the neck. Read on for the ingredients to look out for in YOUR BODY CARE ROUTINE.
PLANT-BASED OILS
Plant-based oils help to support your SKIN'S BARRIER FUNCTION, which is vital in keeping the good stuff (hydration) in and the bad stuff (pollutants) out. They mimic the lipids found naturally in the skin, meaning PLANT-BASED OILS are absorbed deeply into the dermis while leaving a silky and non-greasy finish. Seeing as they're harvested from natural sources, they're completely free from toxic and synthetic substances, making plant-based oils ideal for sensitive skin.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Active ingredients are found in your face serums, cleansers and masks, yet they are often overlooked in body care. However, the skin on your body is just as susceptible to skincare issues that effect your face such as the signs of ageing (wrinkles, loss of elasticity and density, uneven texture), acne and congestion, and dryness and dehydration. Plus, the skin on your body might also experience its own individual concerns like ingrown hairs. ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are highly concentrated and clinically proven to address and improve these specific concerns.

ANTIOXIDANTS
Your skin cells are damaged from external aggressors like pollution, sun exposure, stress and chemicals. This can inhibit them from naturally renewing and can also accelerate the breakdown of elastin and collagen, leading to premature ageing and inflammation. Using antioxidants in your body care routine protects the skin from these stressors, keeping the skin on your body healthy, resilient and illuminated.

EXFOLIATORS
Your skin cells turn over approximately every 30 days, but this cycle gradually slows down the older you get. This can result in a build-up of dead skin cells that manifest as rough, uneven and textured skin. Using products formulated with EXFOLIATORS in your body care routine speeds up this process, sloughing away dead cells to reveal soft and smooth layers of skin beneath. Physical exfoliators manually buff the skin, while chemical exfoliators use acids and enzymes to dissolve the bonds that bind cells together.

MOISTURISING AGENTS
Using body care products formulated with moisturising agents strengthens the skin's barrier function and prevents trans-epidermal water loss, ensuring that your skin stays plump, soft and supple. Hydrated skin is happy skin, so we recommend applying moisturiser daily onto damp skin as soon as you've stepped out of the shower or bath for best results. There are THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MOISTURISING AGENTS: emollients (soften and smooth skin), humectants (increase water content) and occlusives (seal in moisture).
