Let’s be honest, your face gets all the attention. But skin is skin, and the rest of your body deserves the same level of care. Your skin is a living, reactive organ that reveals exactly how you treat it, whether that be with hydration, exercise, skincare or none of the above. It does not lie.

A bodycare routine is not about pampering, it is about taking your skin seriously below your chin. If you are dealing with dryness, dullness, crepey texture, or sagging skin on your body, it’s time for a proper bodycare routine.

Why Your Body Deserves a Real Routine

Your body’s skin has its own rules. Some areas are thicker and tougher; others are delicate and easily stressed. Constant movement, friction from clothing and exposure to the elements all add up as do the effects of ignoring it.

Just as your face benefits from thoughtful care and science-backed formulas, so does the rest of your skin. A full-body routine is not about going overboard. It is about being consistent, precise and aware of what your skin actually needs.

With the right formulas, applied the right way, your bodycare can be just as effective and results driven as your facial skincare. And frankly, it should be.

What Steps to Include In Your Body Care Routine

Transform your skin all over with this targeted, high-performance and refreshingly straightforward routine built on skincare experts’ insights.

1. Cleanse Gently But Thoroughly

Every good routine starts with balance. Use a gentle, pH-balancing body cleanser to remove sweat, sunscreen and daily grime without stripping your skin’s natural oils. Hot water is a moisture thief, so go lukewarm instead.

Pay extra attention to areas that have more built-up oil and bacteria, like your back, chest and underarms. When you step out of the shower, pat your skin dry to help lock in hydration. No scrubbing. No rush.

2. Exfoliate With Purpose

Exfoliating is not optional. A few times a week, use a physical scrub in the shower or a chemical exfoliant like AHAs or BHAs post-shower when skin is damp. Doing so will help smooth rough patches, reduce breakouts, improve overall skin texture and clear the way for your other products to work better.

Follow with a moisturiser to avoid discomfort. Think of it as hitting reset on your skin.

3. Target Specific Concerns

Hydration is great but targeted care is smarter. If you are noticing dullness, crepey texture, fine lines or sagging, it is time to use formulas that do more than moisturise.

For the neck and jawline, reach for our bestselling Cold Plasma Plus+ Sub-D/Neck, a potent solution that helps visibly firm and sculpt the neck and jawline.

If your arms or shins feel thin or papery, our Cold Plasma Plus+ Fragile Skin Therapy is formulated to support thinning, delicate skin and help restore a healthier, more resilient look.

For visibly aging hands, there’s Cold Plasma Plus+ Hand Therapy. It targets dark spots, crepiness and discolouration in one non-greasy formula designed to protect and restore.

4. Hydrate Deeply & Daily

Then, of course, comes the moisture. Apply a deeply hydrating formula while your skin is still slightly damp to help lock in the moisture and support your skin barrier all day.

Our High Potency Hyaluronic Intensive Body Therapy delivers three molecular weights of hyaluronic acid plus firming peptides to help plump, smooth, and visibly improve elasticity.

Prefer something lighter? Our Essential Fx Acyl-Glutathione Chia Body Oil combines essential fatty acids and Acyl-Glutathione in a luxurious dry oil texture to immediately condition elbows, knees and ankles with intense nourishment.

5. Protect Everything That Sees the Sun

Sunscreen is not just for beach days. UV exposure speeds up skin aging and breaks down collagen, so if your skin is out in the world, it needs sun protection. Shield your skin against visible signs of aging that affect the look of firmness with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning. Don’t neglect those oft-forgotten spots like your ears, neck, chest and shoulders — no exceptions. Of course, you don’t want to forget to reapply throughout the day, too.

Adjusting Your Bodycare for Winter

Winter puts skin under extra stress. Cold outdoor air and dry indoor heating strip away moisture, leaving skin tight, flaky and uncomfortable. A few seasonal tweaks can help protect and restore balance.

Choose Richer Textures - Trade lightweight lotions for creams, balms or body oils that create a protective layer and keep hydration locked in.
Add Occlusives - Ingredients like shea butter, natural oils and squalane seal in moisture to prevent dryness from worsening.
Support Fragile Areas - Shins, knees and elbows are especially vulnerable in winter. Treat them daily with formulas designed to strengthen and replenish.
Boost Your Environment - Using a humidifier indoors helps maintain moisture levels so your skin stays comfortable between applications.
