Why Body Care Is Just As Important As Facial Skincare
Caring for the skin on your body is just as important as caring for the skin on your face. While many of us direct most of our time and attention to the neck-up, the rest of the body is just as deserving of attention. 'Skinification of the body' nods to the idea that ACTIVE INGREDIENTS equally belong in your body care routine.
The skin on the body is just as prone to the signs of ageing as the skin on the face. Excessive sun exposure and lifestyle factors (like stress and smoking) can all accelerate the natural ageing process. This can show up on the body in the form of skin laxity, uneven texture, wrinkles and fine lines, and sun spots/pigmentation. Due to their high level of exposure to UV rays and other environmental aggressors, the hands and décolletage are usually the first parts of the body to reveal the signs of ageing.
It's also important to note that the skin on the body often experiences its own unique issues, separate to the skin on the face, so must be tended to accordingly. For example, keratosis pilaris, STRAWBERRY SKIN and INGROWN HAIRS usually only affect the body. The CHEST AND BACK are also areas that are particularly vulnerable to BODY ACNE, clogged pores and break-outs.
Embracing a holistic approach of top-to-toe skincare allows us to treat our skin – all of our skin – with love and devotion. This maintains optimal skin health and hydration in a uniform way, minimising disparities in tone and texture between different body parts.
To best maintain the skin of the body, we suggest curating a simple but effective daily BODY CARE ROUTINE. Cleanse the body with a gentle, low-lather wash and lock hydration into the skin with a nourishing cream. Luxuriously nourishing and pH-balanced, our BODY MOISTURISER infuses the skin with long-lasting hydration and naturally active ingredients. Essential fatty acids and PLANT OILS help to fortify and repair the skin's BARRIER FUNCTION.
Using an EXFOLIATOR a few times a week on the body keeps the skin smooth and glowing. Our BODY POLISH delicately buffs away dead skin cells to reveal bright and luminous skin. Containing a considered mix of both PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL exfoliators, it also creates the perfect canvas for shaving by deeply clearing the pores to prevent ingrowns.
If you do choose to shave, select a well-formulated shave cream that actually gives back to the skin. Inspired by our favourite skincare ingredients, our SHAVE CREAM is the first of its kind: it's front-loaded with antioxidants and multivitamins that provide a beautiful cushion between your RAZOR and your skin, resulting in a radiant and supple finish.
