Remember, the skin on your face isn’t the only skin that’s aging… Get glowing skin from chest-to-toe.
Beyond the Face
By Natayle Henry
After years of trial and error, you’ve finally gotten the perfect skincare routine down. Your skin is glowing, the compliments are flying in and you haven’t looked better—take that aging! But are you taking that same care with the rest of your body? The skin is the largest organ of the body, yet it is one of the most neglected. Like your face, your body can suffer from ailments like acne, dark spots and wrinkles, just to name a few. So why not dedicate the same attention you give to your face to the rest of your body? With this in mind, we’ve found some of the best products to get you glowing from chest-to-toe.
Tata Harper Smoothing Body Scrub
Tata Harper Skincare Smoothing Body Scrub, $75
Just like your face, exfoliating your body is key to smoothing skin and prepping it for the products that follow. The Smoothing Body Scrub by Tata Harper is a gentle, yet effective exfoliant that smooths and (unlike many scrubs) hydrates the skin. This miracle multi-particle polishing scrub consists of five biodegradable exfoliants (Pink Himalayan and Hawaiian Sea Salts, Apricot Seed Powder, Organic Sugar and Cranberry fibers) and is infused with both Argan Oil and Tata’s Beauty Complex which leaves skin nourished, hydrated, soft and glowing.
Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Creme Body Wash, 8 oz., $40
Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Creme Body Wash
Daily use of a mild cleanser that tones, moisturizes and rejuvenates the skin is imperative to removing impurities and maintaining skin health. The Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Creme Body Wash thoroughly cleanses the skin with a natural based cleanser derived from coconut, oat and corn. Gentle for daily use, the creamy lather will leave the skin feeling smooth and moisturized. Using natural-based cleansers that do not strip the skin of its natural moisture, Creme Brulee Creme Body Wash protects the skin from drying effects in the environment. The Creme Brulee fragrance is a rich caramel & creme, with subtle nuances of French Vanilla beans & white musk.
apothecary Ren Moroccan Rose Ultra-Moisture Body Oil, $65
A more youthful complexion begins with hydrated, flawless skin. Rich in fatty acids and vitamin A, Ren Moroccan Rose Body Oil intensely hydrates skin while visibly reducing the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, wrinkles and stretch marks. This wonder oil soaks into skin quickly so it can be used all over the body or on targeted trouble areas (i.e. stretch marks, dark spots, eczema, etc). A rose-infused body oil formulated to intensively replenish the skin, lock in moisture and give skin a healthy, youthful glow. Protects against oxidative damage to combat the signs of premature aging. Who it’s for: All skin types. What it does: Formulated with Moroccan rose otto oil, it not only nourishes but also leaves your skin lightly fragranced with the exquisite scent of rose. Antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, it soothes
Renesans Body Blend, $50
Renesans Body Blend
Packed full of vitamins and antioxidants, Renesans Body Blend hydrates skin all day while increasing firmness and tone. The lotion quickly absorbs into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
Medicell Labs Brightening Body Cream, $45
Medicell Labs Brightening Body Cream
Unsightly dark spots (or hyperpigmentation) due to acne, sun exposure or scarring can be infuriating to contend with. It can often take up to a year or more to begin to fade and that’s provided there are no further “episodes” (i.e. breakouts, prolonged sun-exposure, etc). Help fade existing hyperpigmentation and prevent new spots with a cream like Medicell Labs Brightening Body Cream. Formulated with a multi-acid complex (lactic and fruit acids) as well as antioxidants and hydrating oils, this cream smooths, hydrates and softens skin while helping to fade dark spots and repair skin.
Trilipiderm All-Body Moisture w/ SPF30, $17.95
Trilipiderm Broad Spectrum SPF 30 All-Body Moisture Retention Crème
The sun is one of the biggest contributing factors to skin aging poorly. It wreaks havoc by dehydrating and burning the skin resulting in uneven, dry, damaged and often wrinkled/leathered skin. In the battle against aging skin, hydration and sun protection are key. Long-lasting hydration meets sun protection with Trilipderm’s All-Body Moisture Retention Crème with SPF 30. Just as you would with your face, daily moisturizing and sun protection are a must to achieve healthy, radiant skin.
Epoch Sole Solution by Nu Skin, $23
Epoch Sole Solution Foot Treatment
Unfortunately, it seems as if the feet are the most neglected part of the body. Your feet need love too– and not just during sandal season! Dry, cracked and callused feet aren’t a good look for anyone. For some, your everyday lotion may not be enough. Epoch Sole Solution uses crushed Allspice berry to exfoliate and soften feet by breaking down rough, dry, cracked skin. The result? Soft, smooth and (if you’re into that) kissable feet.
