Your weekly body care routine for radiant skin
Reframe your weekly body care routine as a reset; a self-care ritual that helps you feel refreshed, reinvigorated and nourished from head-to-toe. Just like we make time in our busy social calendars for workouts or beauty appointments, dedicating time to treat your skin at home is a form of self-care worth investing in. Here’s how to create a simple, effective weekly body care routine that leaves you radiant and balanced.
1. TAKE AN EVERYTHING SHOWER
You know the kind of clean; that deep, take-your-time kind of wash which the internet lovingly refers to as the EVERYTHING SHOWER. Set the mood with your favourite playlist, curate some ambient lighting and make it a ritual. Engage the senses with an oil diffuser or candle. This is the moment to wash your hair, pop in a hair mask, double cleanse your skin, clear out your pores, shave for a silky-smooth finish, lather yourself in moisturiser and do all the things you don’t have time for during the week.
2. EXFOLIATE TO RESURFACE THE SKIN
Use a body exfoliator at least once a week to buff away dead skin cells and promote smoother, brighter skin. Focus on areas prone to INGROWN HAIRS (like legs, arms, underarms and bikini line) to open up the hair follicles and remove dirt and debris. Our BODY POLISH is formulated with a considered blend of physical and chemical exfoliators to encourage cell turnover. Salicylic acid and charcoal powder deeply penetrate pores and remove impurities. Finely milled volcanic pumice polishes, revitalises and stimulates circulation. Shea butter and soybean oil protect and nourish, leaving the skin smooth and hydrated.
3. SHAVE WITH INTENTION
Post-exfoliation is the perfect time to shave, as your skin is PREPPED AND PRIMED. Sweeping dead skin cells away from the surface of the skin creates the ultimate canvas for your RAZOR to seamlessly glide across and prevents the chances of ingrowns, RAZOR BURN and bumps. Always use a nourishing SHAVE CREAM to act as a cushion between the impact of your razor and your skin. A clean, fresh REFILL BLADE prevents irritation and will achieve a close and clean shave.
4. HYDRATE WHILE SKIN IS DAMP
Seal in moisturiser with a deeply hydrating body moisturiser while your skin is still slightly damp. This helps to lock water content into the skin cells, leaving your skin feeling soft, supple and replenished. We tend to focus a lot of our time and attention on facial skincare, but the body is just as deserving of time and attention. Daily is best, but treating your skin with our BODY MOISTURISER as part of your weekly routine will infuse it with NATURALLY ACTIVE INGREDIENTS and PLANT-BASED OILS.
5. ELEVATE WITH RITUALS
Round out your weekly body care routine with something that feels sacred, special and unique to you. You may like to massage a few drops of body oil into the skin on top of your moisturiser, reach for a DRY BODY BRUSH to give yourself a lymphatic drainage massage, try a body gua sha tool or even engage in a calming yoga stretch session or meditation practice. This is a great opportunity to connect with your body, slow down and honour the skin you're in.
