You’ve planned your outfits, booked your beauty appointments and probably spent more time than you’d like to admit deciding on the right jewellery. But somewhere between the facials and the makeup trials, bodycare tends to get overlooked.
While our faces get the benefit of elaborate skincare routines, the rest of our skin often has to make do with a quick application of body lotion. And with the festive calendar filling up, now is a good time to pay a little more attention to it. The good news? You don’t need an elaborate spa appointment. From a thorough exfoliation to a nourishing body oil, here’s a three-step routine worth making time for.
Double-duty and deceptively lush, this scrub uses fine sugar crystals to exfoliate gently but effectively—whether you’re tackling scalp buildup or dull, flaky skin. The coconut oil base keeps things soft and nourished, and the rose-lychee scent is enough to give your mood an automatic boost. It’s the kind of product that turns a routine wash into a ritual. Add it to your Sunday reset or midweek deep clean and you’ll realise it was the product you didn’t know was missing from your routine.
If your skin has been feeling rough or looking a little dull, start with a good body scrub. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells from the surface, leaving skin feeling smoother and looking more even. It’s particularly useful for areas prone to dryness and roughness, such as the elbows, knees and heels.
Good to know: Plan your exfoliation a couple of days before an event rather than immediately before getting dressed. Once or twice a week is generally enough, depending on your skin type and the product you’re using. Avoid exfoliating over irritated, sunburnt or broken skin.
Once you’ve exfoliated, it’s worth giving your skin some additional care. Body treatments can help address specific concerns, from dryness and uneven texture to clogged pores and body breakouts. The trick is to choose a product that works for your skin instead of adding several steps for the sake of it.
If dryness is your main concern, reach for a nourishing body oil or lotion. If you’re dealing with blemishes or congestion, a targeted body serum may be more useful. Either way, consistency matters more than how many products you use.
Good to know: Start using your treatment well ahead of the festivities, especially if it contains exfoliating ingredients. It's best to avoid experimenting with unfamiliar actives immediately before an important occasion.
A good body moisturiser is one of the simplest ways to keep skin looking and feeling its best. It helps replenish moisture, soften dry patches and support the skin barrier, which is especially important if you've been exfoliating regularly.
Depending on your preference, you can choose a lightweight lotion, a rich body butter or a shimmering oil for a little extra radiance. Fragranced formulas can also be a lovely addition to your getting-ready routine, particularly if you enjoy layering your bodycare with your perfume.
God to know: Moisturising is worth doing every day, not just before a special occasion. And if you're wearing delicate fabrics, let your products absorb fully before getting dressed to avoid transferring oil onto your outfit.
If you have a celebration coming up, a little planning can help you get the most out of your routine.
Ultimately, good bodycare comes down to a few simple habits. You don't need a shelf full of products or an hour-long routine to see the benefits. A gentle scrub, a treatment suited to your skin and a moisturiser you'll actually enjoy using are a good place to start. And with the festive season around the corner, there's every reason to extend your skincare routine beyond your face.
Start with a simple body care routine that includes gentle exfoliation, a targeted treatment if needed and daily moisturising. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, while body oils and moisturisers keep skin soft and hydrated.
For most skin types, exfoliating once or twice a week is sufficient. Use a gentle body scrub on damp skin, paying extra attention to rough areas such as elbows and knees. Avoid over-exfoliating, as it can cause dryness and irritation.
Body oil can be applied before or after moisturiser, depending on the formula and your skin's needs. For very dry skin, applying a body oil over your moisturiser can help seal in hydration.
Apply a body lotion or butter daily, preferably after showering while your skin is still slightly damp. Choose formulas with moisturising ingredients such as shea butter, glycerin or nourishing oils to help prevent dryness.
It's best to exfoliate two to three days before an event, especially if you have sensitive skin. This gives your skin time to settle and reduces the risk of irritation. Follow with a moisturiser to keep your skin feeling smooth and comfortable.
