Body Care Guide
When we think about skincare, for many of us the first thing that comes to mind is the face. That’s not really surprising, because facial wrinkles, dark spots or other blemishes are usually the first thing we notice when we look into the mirror. But while it’s great to look after your face, your body deserves – and needs – some love and care, too. This little guide will show you everything you need to know about how to take care of your body skin.
Why is Body Skincare Important?
Body care should be just as much a part of your daily beauty routine as facial care. After all, shaving, daily showers and sun exposure can have quite a dramatic effect on your skin. Choosing the right products can go a long way in keeping your skin moisturized and healthy, and strengthen the skin’s natural protective barrier.
Your Perfect Body Care Routine
Preparation is Everything
Exfoliating once a week keeps the skin smooth and soft, boosts blood circulation and can help to firm the connective tissue with long-lasting to permanent results. Body scrubs are a great way to get rid of dead skin cells, so moisturizers can more easily be absorbed into the skin. Our Ginger-Sea Salt Body Scrub does all that while also infusing the skin with nourishing oils. With its delicious scent and massaging qualities, this scrub will turn your routine into a pampering self-care ritual!
Tip: Regular exfoliation can also help to soften dry elbows and knees.
Body Lotions and Anti-Aging Body Care Products
Just like the face, skin on the body benefits greatly from anti-aging creams. Those are body creams that improve skin elasticity and strengthen the collagen fibers. Lightweight textures (lotion, body milk) absorb quickly without leaving a sticky residue. Hydrating body lotions with hyaluronic acid infuse dry skin with intense moisture. If you have extremely dry skin, then a body butter is the right moisturizer for you. Replenishing oils nourish the skin deep down and keep it soft and supple. There are also special neck and décolleté creams to smooth fine lines and wrinkles in the cleavage area. Firming anti-cellulite products can help to reduce dimpled skin, if used regularly and combined with a healthy lifestyle.

What do these anti-aging body care products have in common?
They all contain our unique Celumer Marine Extract. This rejuvenating formula is the basis of our anti-aging skincare – with proven results: It boosts hyaluronic acid and collagen production, improves the cell metabolism and helps to prevent oxidative stress.
Body Care for Skin Problems
Do you suffer from stretch marks, eczema or rough, flaky and sensitive skin? Such problems are not uncommon. Calming body care products can alleviate mild symptoms and boost the skin’s natural regeneration process.
Oils are easy to apply and massage all over the body. Alternatively, you can also add them to your bath water for a perfect combination of cleansing and moisturizing. Applying some oil to the tips of your hair will give it a nice, natural shine.
If you have very dry, flaky, itchy or sensitive skin, a good skincare routine can make a massive difference. Special shower gels, shampoos or body lotions nourish the skin and can help to relieve itching. Body care products with original Dead Sea Salt are great for soothing itchy eczema skin.
Sun Protection
Sun protection is extremely important to protect the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. In addition to increasing the risk of cancer, exposure to UV radiation can also accelerate skin aging, which actually makes your sunscreen an anti-aging product!
There are many different textures and SPF options to choose from. Sprays are great for hard to reach body areas and very easy to apply. Sun creams with a high SPF are ideal for the face.
Tip: Apply sunscreen liberally before going outside and reapply every two hours. Make sure you wash the products off afterwards and apply a special After Sun Body Lotion. It soothes sun-exposed and sunburnt skin with intense hydration.

How often should you take a bath or shower?
For many, showering is daily habit. What’s better than a quick shower in the morning to wake you up and face the day feeling fresh and clean? However, you have to be careful: Water and aggressive soaps can disrupt the natural pH balance and damage your skin barrier.
Taking daily showers is no problem if you have normal, intact skin. If your skin is very dry or prone to eczema, however, you may notice your skin feeling tight and itchy after taking a long bath or shower. If that is the case, we would actually advise against showering every day. Just use a soft wash cloth to wash your body and use gentle, unscented cleansers, body wash lotions or shower gels to avoid irritation.
No matter what skin type you have, make sure you always use a suitable body lotion after washing. This will boost moisture levels, prevent dryness and pamper your skin with nourishing ingredients.
What else can you do to take care of your body?
Sure, a good body skincare routine is important. But smoothing body lotions are not the be-all and end-all to achieving firm, youthful-looking skin. It is rather a combination of genetic predisposition, skincare and lifestyle factors that affect your skin’s health and appearance.

Don’t forget your hands and feet!
Our hands and feet are constantly in motion and exposed to environmental stressors. Plus, frequent sanitizing and washing with soap can make your hands rough and dry, which is why you should always use a hand cream afterwards. Special anti-aging hand creams help to keep your hands moisturized and reduce the look of age spots, while a foot cream leaves your feet silky-soft.
