It always seems easier and a priority to take care of the skin on your face, as it is the most visible and also because it is quicker, as the area to be looked after is much smaller. But we all know that taking care of your body's skin is equally important and there's no point spending the whole year putting off exfoliation or moisturizing until tomorrow, only to be anxious about walking with your legs exposed.
On top of that, with winter approaching, we really should be more careful with our skin. Our skin can become more sensitive, due to lower temperatures, too hot baths, air conditioning... You may feel your skin flaking or problems such as eczema worsening. Your immune system may become more fragile and your skin may show signs in different ways.
If you belong to the team that leaves everything for tomorrow, this post is your extra reminder to be more consistent! Yes, this is the keyword for you to see good results in everything. Would you like to improve your body care routine?
1. Dry Brushing
Dry brushing your skin is a great way to stimulate blood circulation, which may be less active now that temperatures have dropped. Furthermore, it stimulates the lymphatic system and the release of toxins, supporting the body's daily cleansing process. It's great for relieving tired legs and lightly exfoliating the skin. You should do it before showering, with dry skin using this brush .
2. Less hot baths + natural shower gel
As much as we know, taking a super hot shower every day is not ideal for our skin. It will make it more sensitive, dry and susceptible to irritation - all of this gets worse if you use a soap or shower gel with questionable ingredients, as it can have an abrasive effect on the skin. If you don't have the courage to take a cold water shower, reduce the water temperature and bath time (or quickly rinse yourself with cold water at the last minute) and invest in a natural shower gel .
3. Extra hydration to the skin
In the colder months, hydration is a golden rule, especially if you tend to have very dry skin. Just like you do on your face, you can apply a serum and then a balm, creating an occlusive effect on the skin, retaining hydration for longer. The best thing is to take a shower before going to bed, generously moisturize your skin with Sea oil and/or Hidrata balm and put on your pajamas afterwards - a kind of hyper-nourishing cocoon for the skin :)
4. Natural deodorant
We've been talking here on the blog about the importance of using a natural deodorant. It's not just a scent we choose for our body - it's an opportunity to put something in our armpits that doesn't block our perspiration, that hydrates the skin, that protects our lymph nodes and breast tissue. Having a natural deodorant for daily use is a huge sign of self-care.
