Body Care 101
Cleanse
Cleansing your body helps to removes build-up of dirt and impurities, leaving your skin clean. I do a double cleanse on my body as well. I use the african black soap from Shea moisture and then a long exfoliating sponge with Dr Bronner’s Pure Castile Soap. This helps my skin maintain its moisture and really feel fresh and clean. To apply, bring your cleanser or body wash to a luxurious lather and massage over your skin. For extra-foamy and a scrub results, apply with a wash cloth. Rinse thoroughly.
Exfoliate
An exfoliator gently buffs the skin’s surface, helping to remove dead skin cells, speed up the skin renewal process and brighten skin’s appearance. By removing dead skin, you can help your moisturiser work more effectively with your skin, for more visible results. I use Origins Clear Improvement body scrub with exfoliating gloves for a silky result. To apply, squeeze a little exfoliator into your hand and massage over your skin in a circular motion, working your way up your body and focus on dark areas such as armpits, knees, elbows, feet, under the butt and boobs. It’s better to exfoliate 2-3 times a week, so you give your skin time to heal after scrubbing all the dead skin off.
Before drying off with a towel, I rub body oil all over my wet skin and massage it into my body. This sinks into the skin allowing the skin to be softer, and hydrated. I use the Body Oil from Butter Elixir. Once the body oil penetrates into my skin, I then grab my towel and pat dry. Do not rub it in. Now that your skin is refreshed, I lock in the moisture by using Queen Helene Cocoa Butter a hydrating moisturizer. Simply smooth the moisturizer all over your skin and allow it to soak in before dressing up.
When I really want to get that nice camera ready, glowing skin. I use the body bronzer from Melanie mills and top it up with the Honey bronze shimmery oil from Body Shop. Check out my glow routine here.
