Skincare is Not Just For Your Face

When people focus on skincare, most of the products are often just placed on the face 
and neck, but the rest of your body needs some love too! Here are some ways to treat 
your entire body well with a full-body skincare routine.


Don't Forget to Exfoliate

When talking about skincare, exfoliation often comes up. This process removes dead 
skin cells from the surface of your skin, leaving it smooth and fresh. While many people 
exfoliate their faces, the rest of the body often gets overlooked. Use a body scrub or a 
brush to gently exfoliate your skin once or twice a week. This can help prevent ingrown 
hairs, remove dry patches, and even make your skin look more glowing and vibrant.


Shower Smart

Showering properly is a key part of body skincare. Always rinse off after a workout to 
remove sweat, which can lead to body acne. Use warm water instead of hot, as hot 
water can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and irritated. Finally, when 
you're washing, don't forget about often overlooked areas like your back and feet.


Moisturize From Head to Toe

Just like your face, the skin on your body needs moisture to stay healthy. After each 
shower, apply a good quality body lotion or oil. This will lock in the moisture that your 
skin has just absorbed during your shower. Pay extra attention to areas of your body 
that tend to get dry, like your elbows, knees, and feet.


Protect Your Skin from the Sun

One of the most important things you can do for your skin is to protect it from the sun. 
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 on all areas of your body 
that are exposed to the sun. Remember to reapply every two hours and after swimming 
or sweating.


Give Your Hands Some TLC

Our hands do a lot of work during the day, but they often don't get the care they need. 
Keep them moisturized with a nourishing hand cream, especially after washing them. 
Also, don't forget to apply sunscreen on your hands when you're going outside.


Treat Your Feet Right

Our feet also deserve some special care. Keep them smooth by using a pumice stone 
or foot file on any rough areas. Moisturize them regularly with a foot cream, which is 
thicker than regular body lotion. If you can, wear socks after moisturizing to really lock in 
the moisture.


Stay Hydrated

Last but not least, keep your body hydrated from the inside out by drinking plenty of 
water. This helps to keep your skin looking fresh and plump.

Caring for the skin on your body is just as important as taking care of the skin on your 
face. By following these tips, you can keep your skin looking and feeling its best from 
head to toe.
