HOW TO CREATE YOUR BODY SKIN CARE ROUTINE
01 CLEANSE
If, like us, you already have a consistent morning and evening skin care ritual, you can probably guess the first step. Yes, cleansers, of course. Creating a clean slate ahead of your subsequent body care steps, there’s a gel, scrub or soufflé (yep, truly) for every skin type and concern – from dryness to ‘bacne’ – so start as you mean to go on with a targeted formula. Whether you’re eager to smooth, soothe, soften or combat congestion, there’s something to suit your unique skin care needs. Clogged pores and blemishes? Look for clarifying salicylic acid. Skin barrier taken a bit of a battering (cold winter weather’ll do it)? Try a shower gel that’s laced with niacinamide to swiftly reestablish equilibrium.
Sol de Janeiro’s Delicia Drench Shower Oil boasts prebiotics and nourishing butters (not to mention a heavenly, summer scent), while Sundae’s Green Tea Exfoliating Whipped Shower Foam has an indulgent ‘whipped cream’ texture and glycolic acid to gently refine dry, dull or congested skin.

02 TONE
Next up, toning – and before you ask, no we don’t mean training your abs at the gym. When it comes to your body care routine, toning refers to reducing imperfections and improving the overall appearance of your skin. The solution? Body oils. Minimising scarring and evening our skin tone, these featherweight formulas deliver a daily dose of moisture, while firming from head to toe.

05 MOISTURISE
Kiehl's Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream feels light (and non-greasy!) but ultra-nourishing, and is crammed with barrier-boosting pro-ceramides and softening squalane to cherish dry, weather-stressed limbs. Or try Corpus No. Green Body Butter which marries intensive replenishment with an elevated, soul-soothing scent that's ideal for cocooning your skin at the end of the day. And if a lightweight lotion's more your jam, you can't go wrong with Fenty Skin's Butta Drop Hydrating Body Milk – a blend of baobab, melon and coconut oils that leaves limbs feeling enviably velvety and delicately scented with fresh, floral notes of bergamot blossom and jasmine.
