When it comes to skincare, the first things that come to mind are usually the most visible parts of the body, such as the face and neck. However, creating a routine for overall body care often doesn't come to mind until the summer months approach. Yet, for a truly pleasant and attractive appearance, skincare should be applied from head to toe, including different areas of the body.
Regular body care, regardless of the season, leads to a more vibrant, fresh, and toned appearance. Proper body care, which is also crucial for health, is surprisingly comprehensive and detailed.
So, what does it take to achieve proper body care? Let's explore together.
Essentials of Body Care
To perform proper body care, it's essential to understand certain aspects of it. Firstly, it's important to differentiate body care from personal hygiene. In other words, simply taking a shower every day doesn't constitute body care.
Nevertheless, cleansing the skin remains a fundamental aspect of body care. However, this goes beyond merely washing the body with soap or shower gels. This practice involves thoroughly cleansing the skin to prepare it for the use of body care products.
The best method for this is exfoliation. Incorporating exfoliation into body care is crucial. Similar to how we exfoliate our faces a few times a week, including it in body care is equally important. Exfoliation helps rid the skin of dead cells, allowing it to breathe and preparing it for the use of moisturizers and skincare oils.
You might prefer using a scrub instead of exfoliation. However, keep in mind that scrubbing has both benefits and drawbacks. Especially if you have sensitive and dry skin, scrubbing can irritate your skin and deprive it of the moisture it needs.
For these reasons, using a gentle exfoliating product that not only removes dead skin cells but also moisturizes and maintains the skin's natural barrier is crucial. You may consider Bade Natural Smoothing Body Scrub, which contains sea salt and natural oils.
Moisturizers and skincare products play a significant role in body care. When choosing these products, it's essential to select one suitable for your skin type. Another aspect to consider is the ingredients of moisturizers and skincare products.
It's widely known that skincare products containing heavy chemicals often bring more harm than benefit. Despite this awareness, many products on the market still contain ingredients that could negatively impact skin health. The ideal way to avoid this is to prioritize completely natural body moisturizers and skincare products.
You can opt for moisturizing creams enriched with natural oils or directly use body oils infused with special oil blends. By using body oils made from special oil blends, you can achieve a flawless appearance. Aromatherapy oils, divided into volatile and fixed oils, can also be applied to the body according to your skin type, providing additional benefits.
When it comes to body care, it's essential to pay attention to hands and feet. Since they are exposed to many negative factors throughout the day and are essential for a well-groomed appearance, it's crucial to provide separate care for hands and feet using different products.
In the realm of hand and foot care, which falls under body care, it's necessary to use products such as exfoliators and moisturizers, as well as those that provide care for nails and cuticles.
Especially if you have nails that constantly break or cuticles that look unsightly, you can use Bade Natural Nourishing and Strengthening Nail and Cuticle Care Oil to address these issues. Thanks to its apricot kernel and grape seed oil content, you can achieve strong nails that don't break and a smooth cuticle appearance.
Importance of Establishing a Body Care Routine
Just like facial skincare, establishing a routine for body care and sticking to it is crucial. Just as our faces are constantly exposed to external factors and experience wear and tear, the same goes for our bodies. Although our bodies are not as exposed to dust, dirt, wind, and sun as our faces, they are still susceptible to pore clogging.
Especially the excess sebum produced by oil glands is effective in clogging the pores on our bodies as much as our faces. Moreover, the layering of dead skin cells on the skin's surface also threatens body skin health. Moisture loss is also one of the significant skin problems experienced year-round.
For all these reasons, it's essential to regularly perform body care, regardless of whether it's summer or winter.
Creating a routine is a prerequisite for demonstrating the effectiveness of products used specifically for combating cellulite and sagging during body care.
The only difference between a facial skincare routine and a body care routine lies in the timing of product application. For example, moisturizers and body oils can be used daily within the body care routine, after showering, before bedtime, or while preparing for the day in the morning. However, when it comes to peeling or scrub products, it's essential to limit their usage frequency to a few times a week to avoid damaging the skin.
Choosing Body Care Products Suitable for Your Skin Type
We mentioned the importance of body care products being suitable for your skin type and having natural ingredients. Skincare oils perfectly embody these qualities!
You might mistakenly think that only those with dry skin should use these products since they come in oil form. However, the opposite is true. From body moisturizing oils to all other skincare oils and products containing them, there are options suitable for all skin types. The key is to choose the right oil that meets the needs of your skin.
If you have dry skin, which is often characterized by a lack of sebum and is particularly noticeable in cold weather, you can use cocoa butter varieties for body care. Cocoa butter, which can be used as a body moisturizer for dry skin, is rich in saturated fatty acids. Besides moisturizing, cocoa butter also nourishes the skin, while its aromatic scent adds energy to your soul.
To incorporate cocoa butter into your body care routine, you can opt for Bade Natural Cocoa Butter, which contains various types of oils suitable for the skin.
There's a misconception that oily skin doesn't need moisturizing. However, oily skin also requires hydration. If you have oily skin, you need to use a moisturizer that helps balance sebum production.
You can use vanilla body oil varieties to moisturize oily skin. With its vanilla essence, along with apricot kernel, jojoba, and avocado oils, Bade Natural Vanilla Body Oil moisturizes your skin without making it oily.
It's also possible to use essential oils in body care. To apply essential oils to the skin within body care, you need to use carrier oil varieties.
As a carrier oil, we recommend coconut oil. You can use natural and pure Bade Natural Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil for all skin types.
