A Simple Body-Care Routine for Dry-Feeling Skin

When skin feels dry, the instinct is to add more product. A steady routine usually does more: gentle exfoliation once or twice a week, moisture applied at the right moment, and the right texture for the time of day.

Weekly

Buff away roughness

Once or twice a week, use Body Scrub in the shower on damp skin. Sugar crystals smooth rough patches and rinse clean without stripping moisture. Go gently; there's no need to scrub hard. Follow with a moisturizer right away.

Every day

Moisturize while skin is damp

Lukewarm water is kinder to dry-feeling skin than very hot showers. Pat dry instead of rubbing, then moisturize within a few minutes, while skin is still slightly damp.

In the morning, reach for Shea Butter Lotion. It absorbs quickly, so you can get dressed without waiting. In the evening, use Whipped Shea Butter for a richer layer that has time to settle in overnight.

Lighter in the morning, richer at night. Consistency matters more than quantity.

Extra care

Hands and feet

Hands get washed often and feet carry you all day, so both tend to feel drier. Keep a jar or bottle by the sink to reapply after washing, and before bed, apply a little extra butter to heels and hands. Cotton socks or gloves overnight help it stay put.
