Most people suffer from body acne, hyperpigmentation, ingrown, dry skin, and hair removal—issues and refuse to deal with regularly in their skincare routine, which is unhealthy. Shedding light on this matter, we’re going to share a personal body skincare routine for you that you can follow or shape according to your routine. 

Get Glowing: Master the Art of Body Skincare

Body skincare always starts in the shower. One tip: avoid really hot showers, even though it’s tempting in winter. Hot water damages the keratin cells on the outer layer of the skin, causing dryness, dullness, and irritation. The first order of business is to wash your hair first, then the body, to remove product residue that could cause acne.

For cleansing, use exfoliating cleansers with glycolic acid, a powerful AHA will definitely keep out the acne. Glycolic acid easily penetrates the skin, helping with dark spots and texture. This wash is great for areas prone to acne and hyperpigmentation, like your upper back and shoulders. Use AHA once or twice a week, because PHAs don’t penetrate deeply, making them great for sensitive or dry skin, and they help balance skin bacteria. 

In more aggressive cases, use benzoyl peroxide wash as a spot treatment, it’s excellent for targeting acne-causing bacteria.

Use gentle bodywash, with prebiotic shea butter and niacinamide, which are great for maintaining the skin barrier and preventing dryness.

Exfoliate Your Way to Flawless Body Skin

Now, let’s talk about exfoliating. Due to hormonal fluctuations, many women experience hair regrowth even after laser hair removal and that’s where exfoliating gloves may help you because they just work better. Consistency is key to seeing results, we recommend it for all skin types since it’s free of alcohol, dyes, and both natural and synthetic fragrances.

The Breakout Truth: Common Reasons Behind Body Acne

Always use a fresh, clean towel every time. We suggest avoiding reusing bath towels, as wet towels are the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to body acne. Also, wash all your clothes and towels with free and gentle detergent. 

Some people can be sensitive to detergents, fabric softeners, or even curtains, while others aren’t. If you’re experiencing body breakouts and can’t figure out the cause, try switching out your detergent.

Speaking of body acne, if you have blemishes on your body, use a two-percent salicylic acid solution. In case it’s just a few spots here and there, you might spot-treat it with the Miracle Acne Clearbody Cleanser containing BHA Liquid Exfoliant. Do keep in mind that technically any of the ingredients you use on your face to fade hyperpigmentation can also be used on your body. That includes your Vitamin C’s, retinoids, tyrosinase inhibitors like tranexamic acid, and alpha arbutin. 

Farewell to Dead Skin: Essential Hand and Foot Care Tips

Sometimes, on nights after exfoliating your feet, take a pair of foot treatment masks, slather it all over your feet like thick comfy socks, and hours later, you’ll have really soft feet. 

You also don’t want to forget about your hands, because It’s going to help with any dark spots that you might have on your hands too. At nighttime, apply a pair of Perfect Ten Hand Mask and this mask has some active ingredients that are going to treat any imperfections that you have on your hands, that’s a nice added bonus. 

Conclusion

All these products can’t help you if you can’t make a body skincare routine that’s part of your skincare routine and avoid doing these every single night. Don’t ever let your skin dry out or get that tight feeling and become compromised to sunlight. Body sunscreen is so, so important because not only will it protect you from sunburn and sun damage, but sun exposure is also a factor that can make your body acne and body hyperpigmentation a lot worse.
