Today’s post came out of nowhere. I was talking to a coworker and in the middle of our convection she complemented my skin and how soft it looks and felt. She went on to ask, what I use on my skin and etc. I thought I should share because it’s easy and fun. To be honest not much, i like routines and I have been doing the same things for years with little changes here and there. So here is my simple body care routine for smooth and soft skin all year round. I do this morning and Night without fail.
I love me a good woven body cloth loofah like this one (harder) and this one (softer). it’s all comes to what you like ( for me the first loofah (hard) is my favorite because I feel like it’s more exfoliating. I’m not a fan of the woven and towel combo but some people love them. you can find them everywhere it’s a matter of what you like.
In the morning I use “the olive branch “gel from lush (it has olive oil, orange flower and mandarin oil) I love the citrus smell in the morning so refreshing and moisturizing to my skin. “HONEY I WASHED THE KIDS” is another good one for morning time . For my PM I like to use “Sleepy” gel from LUSH as well this has lavender oil, oat milk and Tonka (it’s very calming and soothing it leaves you bathroom smelling amazing like a spa.
other body washes I haves used in the past and liked are: SheaMoisture African Black soap ( love it), Any Dove body wash ( pick your scent), soap & glory and Dr. Bronner’s lavender or peppermint soap ( this could be drying for some people get a sample size to test it our. I could go on and on but you get my point just use what your skin love.
Right after my shower, I dry myself up and apply some sweet almond oil on my skin right away. My skin just loves it and it drinks it up. I don’t remember who gave me this secret but almond oil has been a game changer to my skin. It leaves my skin smooth and soft without the oily “greasy” residue.
I would love to hear from you friends on your secrets and tips in maintaining beautiful skin all year around.
