The Skin Nerd: Pamper your body just like your face

The skin is an organ, from top to toe, and here is how to take care of every centimetre of it

Skin care, like spots, is not just about your face - you need to take care of every inch of you.

The skin is an organ, and it’s your largest one at that, covering your entire body – but it’s very easy to think about your face alone when you’re thinking about skincare. The facts of the matter are that if you’re being truly holistic about skincare, you need to take care of every inch of you, top to toe!

We are all holding out for some better weather and although we may be holding out for a while, one must be prepared for all eventualities including showing a bit of skin. The simplest thing to start with is skin hydration so let’s talk about what to look for in a body lotion. To those out there not looking to tackle any lumps, bumps or spots across the body, you can look for any good lotion – urea is a great ingredient you’ll find it  in loads of body moisturisers, and it actually makes up our skin’s Natural Moisturising Factor, so skin loves it. Ceramides, another skin-native, are a fat that can help the skin to lock in moisture, so find them in body lotions like those from CeraVe!
