Why this worksAs the weather warms, our skin can benefit from hydration and exfoliation. This simple body glow routine helps remove dead skin cells and locks in moisture, leaving your skin smooth and luminous. It’s all about layering products effectively to enhance your natural radiance.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Exfoliate Your Skin Start with a gentle body scrub to remove dead skin cells. Use circular motions to massage the scrub into damp skin, focusing on rough areas like elbows and knees. Rinse thoroughly to reveal soft, fresh skin.
  2. Moisturise Generously After exfoliating, apply a nourishing body lotion while your skin is still slightly damp. This helps seal in moisture and keeps your skin hydrated throughout the day. Look for ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil for added nourishment.
  3. Add a Body Oil For an extra glow, layer a lightweight body oil over your moisturiser. Apply it by gently massaging it into your skin, which will enhance the glow and provide a silky finish. Focus on areas that naturally catch the light, like your shoulders and collarbone.
  4. Finish with a Shimmer To amp up the glow, use a shimmering body lotion or highlighter. Apply it to your arms and legs for a luminous effect. Be careful not to overdo it; a little shimmer goes a long way!

Where people go wrong

Many people skip exfoliation or rush through moisturising, which can leave skin looking dull. Applying body oil on dry skin can lead to uneven application. Lastly, overdoing shimmer can make skin look greasy instead of glowing.

The pro moveFor an even more radiant effect, try adding a few drops of body oil to your moisturiser before applying it.

Good questions

How often should I exfoliate my body?

Exfoliating once or twice a week is usually enough to maintain smooth skin.

Can I use face products on my body?

While some ingredients are safe, it's best to use products specifically designed for the body.

Will body oil make my skin feel greasy?

If applied correctly, body oil should absorb and leave a silky finish, not a greasy one.
