16 Products To Spruce Up Your Body Care Routine
by editingbeauty
Naturally, most of us would assume that skincare was always about your skin from your neck up — and how it required a truckload of products to keep it looking its best. But what about the other parts of your body? Shouldn’t it deserve the same amount of love and attention that you give in maintaining your complexion too?
When it comes to self-care, body care is a topic that’s always been overlooked — which doesn’t really make sense if you really consider yourself a skincare junkie. If slathering facial products on your skin before you hit the sheets is undoubtedly a must for you, shouldn’t you do the same for the rest of your body?
Even more so, now that most of us who are working or studying from home, there’s got to be little or no excuse for you to skip on giving your skin that extra TLC treatment that you know it truly deserves. Just think about how parched your limbs are from the lack of moisture. Ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the latest body care products to add to your rotation ASAP.
BODY WASH
Now that we’re all staying at home, it comes as no surprise that we’d be showering more often than we usually do — especially if we’re out for our evening jogs or grocery runs. Morning, afternoon, night, (and maybe once more) before some shut-eye — is it ever bad to shower more than twice a day?
Keeping yourself cleaning during this period is especially important for us all, and so if you’re looking to stock up on some of the latest body washes to hit the shelves, then these ones might just pique your interest.
1. Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Shower Gel, $51. Available at Lookfantastic.
2. Drunk Elephant Kamili™ Cream Body Cleanser, $28. Available At Sephora.
3. Compagnie de Provence Liquid Marseille Soap – Cashmere & Delicate Collection, $27. Available at Sephora.
4. Sachajuan Body Wash Ginger Flower, $52.50. Available at Lookfantastic.
BODY SCRUB

Ask yourself this, “When was the last time you actually gave yourself a nice scrub?” If it’s been more than a decade (or what seems like a decade ago), then it’s about time you invest in one to rid of all your dead skin cells.
Not only does it reveal a smoother look and feel, it also provides good blood circulation while heightening your at-home spa experience.
1. Frank Body Birthday Cake Body Scrub, $30. Available at Sephora.

1. Drunk Elephant Sili™ Body Lotion, $28. Available At Sephora.
2. Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia Body & Hand Lotion, $110. Available at Sephora.

HAND CREAM
We’ve been sanitising a heck load recently and at some point, you’ll realise that it might be drying out your skin. We’re not saying that you should wash your hands less often, but instead, to also compliment your habits with a trusty hand cream to keep your hands soft and moisturised even when you’re at home. Besides, you wouldn’t want to come out of quarantine with crusty old hands to match with that fresh manicure you’re planning to get.
