My Bodycare Routine for Soft Glowy Skin

We often invest in our facial skincare and forget to do the same for our bodies. To me, a good skin care routine covers your hair to toes and leaves you feeling clean, refreshed, and radiant. It is why I invest in body care products, just as much as I do for my face and neck, and my hands. That said, I have broken down my body care routine into three steps featuring the body care products I recently discovered and have been reaching for and enjoying.

EXFOLIATE

My body care routine usually begins with exfoliating, which I do about two to three times a week. It helps remove dead skin cells from the surface of my skin, smooth it and improve the overall appearance.
I find that using an exfoliating sponge or brush with the scrub also improves circulation. I am currently using the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub.

SERUM

Just like facial serums, there are body serums too–not just oils, lotions and butters. One of my favourites was the Kayo Body Remodelling Serum. It contained hyaluronic acid for hydration and copper peptides to support collagen and elastin, and was marketed as helping to improve the appearance of stretch marks and fine lines. Also, it came in luxurious glass packaging, which felt indulgent and gave it a premium feel on my bathroom shelf.

I paired it with the Kayo Body Beautiful Oil in the morning and sometimes at night. What I loved most about both products was how lightweight and non-greasy they felt on my skin. They also contained antioxidants, an omega oil blend, and coenzyme Q10, which left my skin feeling nourished and looking healthy and radiant.

MOISTURIZE AND PROTECT

The Kayo Body Beautiful Oil was lightweight, fast-absorbing, and one of my favourite body oils at the time. I loved how it softened and nourished my skin while leaving it with a healthy glow. It was formulated with antioxidants such as rosemary extract and coenzyme Q10, and its luxurious glass packaging made it feel like a real treat to use. I alternate between the Kayo Body Beautiful lotion and the Ultra-Hydrating lotion from VSP Botanics (a water-based moisturiser that contains SPF 50). I love how it moisturises, hydrates, and protects my skin.
