The love and hype for skincare over the years have grown exponentially and we're all for it! Beauty enthusiasts and content creators have dived into the world of analyzing different skin types, checking the ingredients of each skincare product, and building a skincare routine for every skin concern you could think of.
If you've done all of those and you have your AM and PM routines down pat, good for you! But we're not done yet: Make sure you don't forget to take care of your body as well. And so we've listed down a basic body care routine to help you build your own!
4 body care products from K-beauty brands
1. Start with a body wash to cleanse your whole body.
The first and most basic step is proper cleansing. Choose a body wash that will make you feel clean but will not strip your skin of moisture. And of course, one that is suitable to your skin type. Try choosing among ILLIYOON's body wash options. This brand is known for its gentle formulas. We recommend The Ceramide Ato 6.0 Top to Toe Wash is perfect for those with dry and sensitive skin. It's also child-friendly and has a mild formula with a ceramide skin complex which helps strengthen the skin barrier.
2. Hydrate with a toner.
If you think toners are only for the face, think again! Putting toner on your body after taking a shower will help hydrate your skin as they are easily absorbed. Check out ROVECTIN's Cica Care Purifying Toner. It's perfect for all skin types including sensitive skin and its Barrier Repair Complex helps restore and repair the skin's natural moisture barrier. If you have body acne and dark spots, this is a must-try!
3. Moisturize with a body cream or lotion.
Don't forget to moisturize with a light body lotion that will keep your skin fresh and moist without feeling sticky. We recommend INNISFREE's Green Tea Pure Body Lotion. This product is a 10-year steady seller of the well-loved brand. It makes your skin feel smooth and supple with the Jeju organic green tea ingredient that also gives a fresh green tea scent. It's also perfect for all skin types.
4. Top everything off with sunscreen!
To protect your skin from the sun, make sure you pile on sunscreen. It helps prevent aging, sagging, and dark spots on the skin. Trust us, your future self will thank you later. Check out COSRX's Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF 50 PA+++. It's lightweight, absorbs fast, and will not leave you feeling greasy. It has both UVA and UVB protection plus aloe vera which soothes irritation while protecting you from the harmful rays of the sun.
And you're all set! Starting this body care routine will help you get softer, smoother, and healthier skin. Remember that consistency is key and your body deserves as much TLC as your face. Once you have this basic routine down pat, you can add special days where you can do body masks by mixing body oils and moisturizers and leaving the mask on your hands and feet (and any other dry areas) for a few minutes as an intense pampering session. Enjoy your body care shopping and self-care time!
