Are you looking to build a body care routine, but aren't sure where to start when it comes to products? We're here to help you gather the basics so you can start your body care routine as soon as possible.
You might have a step-by-step plan for your body care routine, but it means nothing if you don't have the tools to execute it. Here are our recommendations for each step of the routine.
Cleanse - Body Smoosh
The first step is to cleanse your skin, and we love using the Body Smoosh, which is an embedded soap silicone body scrubber. It's basically like a loofah and soap all in one, so you don't need to pick up separate products.
You can also adjust soap height so it hits you exactly how you want it to. We should also add that it is an anti-microbial silicone! When you pick this up, you also have a lot of soap scent options.
Although you can use a typical body gel or cleanser, we think this is a bit more fun.
Exfoliate - Tree Hut Moroccan Rose Shea Sugar Body Scrub
Although you are not supposed to exfoliate daily, picking out the perfect exfolator is essential to your body care routine. We are huge fans of Tree Hut's sugar scrubs, which come in a huge array of scents that'll transport you somewhere else while in the shower, but right now, we are super into the Moroccan Rose scent. This scrub has notes of tea rose, bergamot, and amber, making it warm and floral. This body scrub uses sugar, shea butter, Moroccan argan oil,and rosehip oil to nourish, hydrate, and renew your skin while gently removing your dead skin cells.
Target Concerns- Being Frenshe Soothing and Hydrating Body Serum Stick with Magnesium in Cashmere Vanilla
Just like your skincare, adding a serum helps to target your skin's specific concerns. We opted for this because it was designed to boost your mood. This smells like vanilla, amber, musk, and jasmine rice, making it the perfect scent to invoke coziness. This solid serum stick contains seawater extract, essential oils, squalane, and magnesium, which help hydrate and relax your skin, making it perfect for your evening routine.
Moisturize - Rare Beauty Find Comfort Hydrating Body Lotion
A moisturizer will help you lock in everything for your body care routine. There are so many fantastic moisturizers on the market that it was hard for us to choose just one. We opted for this super hydrating one from Rare Beauty that smells like woods. This uses niacinamide, which can help support your skin barrier, as well as Ashwagandha extract, which helps protect, soothe, and moisturize your skin. The last standout ingredient is sodium hyaluronate, which can help retain your skin's moisture.
Add a body oil (Optional) - Saltair's Pink Beach Nourishing Body Oil
If you want a little extra glow for your skin and extra hydration, this is a great addition to your body care routine. This body oil features kukui, cacay, moringa, squalane, and karanja oils, which can help nourish and hydrate your skin. It also contains fermented saururus oil, which can help with deeply moisturizing your skin, as well as plumeria flower extract, which can also help soothe your skin. Additionally, it uses biomimetic plant actives, which can help your skin barrier. This smells like vanilla, coconut, and almond blossom.
