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, science, and respect. From shoulders to shins, your skin is a living, reactive organ that shows exactly how you treat it through hydration, movement, products, or neglect. It does not lie.

A body routine is not about pampering. It is about taking your skin seriously beyond just your face. If you are dealing with dryness, dullness, crepey texture, or sagging, your body deserves real care. Not just whatever face cream is left on your fingertips.

What Steps to Include In Your Body Care Routine

This five-step routine is built on skincare experts’ insight and designed to work. It is high-performance, targeted, and refreshingly straightforward. Let’s get into it.

1. Cleanse Gently but Thoroughly

Every good routine starts with balance. Use a gentle, pH-balanced 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 build 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 or a chemical exfoliant like AHAs or BHAs to smooth rough patches, reduce breakouts, and improve overall texture.

Do this post-shower when skin is damp, then follow with a moisturiser to avoid irritation. Exfoliation clears the way for everything else to work better. 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 Cold Plasma Plus+ Sub-D/Neck, a potent solution that helps visibly firm and redefine the lower face and neck.

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.

Hands show signs of aging early. Our Cold Plasma Plus+ Hand Therapy delivers hydration, antioxidants, and firming benefits in one non-greasy formula designed to protect and restore.

4. Hydrate Deeply and Daily

If you are skipping moisturiser, your skin is paying for it. Apply a deeply hydrating formula while your skin is still slightly damp. This locks in water and supports the skin barrier all day.

Our 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 Chia Body Oil combines essential fatty acids and Acyl-Glutathione in a luxurious dry oil texture that absorbs fast and feels like silk.

5. Protect Everything That Sees the Sun

Sunscreen is not just for beach days. UV exposure speeds up skin aging and breaks down collagen. If your skin is out in the world, it needs protection from the visible signs of aging that affect the look of firmness. That includes your neck, chest, shoulders, and arms.

Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning. No exceptions.

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 add up. So do the effects of ignoring it.

Just like 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 body care can be just as effective and results-driven as your facial skincare. And frankly, it should be.
