Why this worksAs temperatures rise, our skin can easily become dehydrated and flaky. By incorporating the right body care techniques, you can boost hydration and maintain a silky smooth texture. The key is to lock in moisture and protect your skin from environmental stressors while enjoying the sunshine.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Exfoliate Regularly Use a gentle body scrub or exfoliating mitt 1-2 times a week to slough off dead skin cells. This helps reveal fresh, smooth skin underneath and allows moisturisers to penetrate more effectively.
  2. Moisturise After Showering Apply a rich body lotion or cream immediately after drying off from your shower. This helps seal in moisture while your skin is still damp, preventing dryness throughout the day.
  3. Use a Hydrating Body Oil Incorporate a hydrating body oil into your routine for an extra moisture boost. Apply it to damp skin for best absorption, focusing on areas that tend to be drier, like elbows and knees.
  4. Stay Hydrated Internally Don’t forget to drink plenty of water! Hydration from the inside out is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and overall health. Aim for at least 2 litres a day, especially in warmer weather.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip exfoliation, thinking it's unnecessary, leading to dull skin. Others may apply moisturiser to dry skin, which reduces effectiveness. Remember to also hydrate internally, as it plays a big part in your skin's appearance.

The pro moveTry adding a few drops of essential oil to your body cream for added scent and benefits.
