Here’s a sad truth: most skincare products are tailored only for our facial skin. But our skin is the body’s largest organ, so it needs equal love and care – all across.
Since the skin on your body has fewer sebaceous glands, it is more prone to dryness. Plus, it has a naturally slower cell turnover rate, often resulting in drier, thicker, and scalier skin. Because of this, you need something different from your face creams and moisturisers, like a deeply hydrating body cream.
Body creams are the best way to hydrate your skin. They are thicker, and heavier, and contain essential oils and nutrients that provide longer-lasting moisture, keeping your skin softer & smoother. With that, we scoured the beauty racks for the best body creams that will surely not disappoint:
SW1 Sea Water & Rosemary Body Crème
Pampering your skin does not end with your face, especially if the rest of your body is dry and parched. Stop any aggravation of the fragile state of your skin with SW1’s Sea Water enriched gentle moisturizer and body creme. The aromatic formulation also means you will be layering on scents for a memorably fragrant finish.
