It’s time to take care of our bodies, indulging in some me-time that feeds our souls and revives our skin with energy. Discover our guide.

We often forget that skincare isn’t limited to facial treatments, but taking care of every inch of our body is just as essential — especially in the midst of busy lives, active lifestyles and dry weather. Take advantage of this extra time at home and reawaken your skin with the new routine it deserves to stay luminous and soft. We’re here to help you curate the best products just for you, from deep cleaning to must-have moisturisers.

Scrub & Renew

Scrubbing is the first and most important step for getting supple luminous skin that’s free of dry spots and dead skin cells. It goes beyond making you silky-smooth and feeds into your blood circulation, helps heal stretchmarks and exudes a healthy glow. Ideally, we should be exfoliating our bodies two to three times a week during a shower or bath, paying extra attention to elbows, knees and ankles — these are the areas most susceptible to dryness and need added care. The organic ingredients in Neom Organics Great Day Body Scrub, Sisley’s Energising Foaming Exfoliant For The Body and Kiehl’s Coriander Body Scrub are some of our favourites, take your pick.

Deep Cleaning

Personal care and hygiene begin with the everyday, and though daily showers and baths keep us feeling refreshed, the constant exposure to tap water, soaps and shampoos may be harsh on the skin and can lead to flaky dryness. The key is to prevent long showers, keep the water warm instead of hot, gently dry the skin after and, most importantly, use products that support the skin's natural cell repair abilities. Discover Kiehl’s Original Musk Bath & Shower Liquid Body Cleanser or take our pick from Aesop’s selection of eco and skin-friendly ingredients. Don’t forget to keep your hands hydrated and soothed with kind cleansers too, from Diptyque to Neom Organics’ be sure to use natural ingredients that prevent dryness.

Happy Hydration

Moisturising your skin isn’t only about tackling dryness, it’s also a protective layer that safeguards the skin from external agents and bacteria that may land on it. Ultimately, it helps with anti-ageing, elasticity and even its immunity. The perfect time to indulge in your body oil or cream is after your shower, when your skin is still damp and ready to absorb all the nutrients. If you prefer the latter, we’ve gathered the crème-de-la-crème of body creams, from Sisley’s Sisleya L'Integral Concentrated Body Cream, Guerlain’s Super Aqua-Body Serum, and any of La Mer’s iconic creams, invest in luxurious skincare and treat the skin you’re in. For the ones who live for fragrant body oils, dive into our shiny heroes that don’t leave you with an oily residue: Kiehl’s Crème de Corps Nourishing Dry Body Oil, Diptyque’s Voile Satin and Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s selection of scented body oils are some of our favourites. With sanitisation and handwashing more important than ever, exposing our skin to inevitable dryness, be sure to look after your hands with La Mer’s protective hand treatment keeping your skin nourished.

Refreshing Touches

There are a few essential steps that you can take every day to keep yourself feeling refreshed and revitalised. First on our list is the humble deodorant, branch out from the norm and opt for a gentler cream-deodorant like Kiehl’s Superbly Efficient Anti-Perspirant, or Aesop’s herbal aluminium-free spray that’s not only better for your skin, but for the environment too. Finish off your regime with one of our refreshing body fragrances for a subtle scent that will help you feel energised and smelling fresh without an aggressive, overpower scent. We love Aveda’s Chakra 2 Balancing Body Mist Nourished to help us feel balanced and exhilarated all day long.
