My skin care routine is an important part of my day, and I can’t go without it.
It helps me feel good about myself, happy, and in touch with my body.
I believe in feeling good as well as looking good.
These are the body oils and creams I use to keep my skin soft, hydrated, and glowing.
Aveeno Skin Relief Body Oil Spray
This jojoba and oat oil spray is ideal for dry skin.
It gives your skin a healthy, hydrated sheen, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any oily residue behind.
This product is great to use after a shower, especially after exfoliating.
Soap & Glory Righteous Butter
This body butter melts into your skin and leaves it soft like a baby. It’s a cult classic for a reason.
This one is for you if you like to stay hydrated in a way that feels like a treat.
WELEDA Regenerating Body Lotion
When I want my skin to breathe while remaining hydrated throughout the day, this plant-based, clean favourite is my go-to choice because it nourishes deeply without making me feel heavy.
WELEDA Baby Oil
Yes, baby oil is wonderful. It’s light, pure, and great for retaining moisture on wet skin after a shower. I use it whenever my skin needs something easy and mild.
L’Occitane Almond Supple Skin Oil
This oil is a bottle of luxury; it smells incredible, leaves skin incredibly smooth, and with regular use, firms and tones, making it ideal for those moments when you want to feel extra.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
This luxurious cream tightens the skin over time and leaves a gorgeous glow. It’s perfect for days when you want your skin to look like you’re on a luxurious holiday. The scent alone could win awards.
Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor Elasti-Body Oil
I adore using this nourishing, silky oil on my arms and chest because it adds a soft, radiant finish while also improving elasticity.
Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Body Firmeza Oil
This oil is its elegant sibling if you enjoy the cream. It is deeply moisturizing, has a light scent, and is ideal for layering. Your skin will appreciate it when you massage it in after taking a shower.
Eucerin Dry Skin Urea Repair Plus 10% Urea Foot Cream
If you have rough or dry heels, this is a must-have. It absorbs quickly, doesn’t smell, and works incredibly well. It’s not fancy; it just does the job.
CeraVe Foot Cream
This one is the best for rough or very dry skin. It gently exfoliates while deeply moisturizing, softens calluses, and keeps your feet smooth.
CeraVe Reparative Hand Cream
This is a lifesaver for dry, over-washed hands because it repairs the skin barrier and doesn’t make your hands feel sticky.
Soap & Glory Hand Food Hand Cream
It smells great, moisturizes well, and makes you feel better right away. This is the hand cream that makes you want to use hand cream.
Final Thoughts
It’s not vanity to take care of your skin; it’s a way to connect with yourself.
More than anything else, these products remind me to slow down, breathe, and respect my body.
Good vibes, smooth skin, and a self-care routine that emphasizes moisturizing and hydration.
