Why My Body Deserves the Skincare My Face Has Been Getting for Years

And Yours Does Too!

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent years lavishing attention on your face whilst neglecting the rest of your body. I used to believe that body care was just a dab of moisturiser after a quick shower. But, here I am in my 40s, noticing the lacklustre quality of my skin below the neckline. My face? Glowing, hydrated, smooth. My arms and legs? Let’s just say they’re feeling a bit neglected. So, it’s time to turn things around and finally give my body the love and attention it deserves. I’ve curated a bodycare routine that mirrors my face routine — because if my face gets all the efficaceous actives, my body deserves them too.

Here’s my new, upgraded body routine and the powerful products that make it happen.

‘De-Age ‘and Firm with One Skin OS-01 Body Topical Supplement

The One Skin OS-01 Body Topical Supplement is essentially the hero treatment my body has been waiting for. With a focus on longevity and skin health, this lotion is formulated with peptides and an advanced blend of ingredients that support skin resilience and improve firmness over time. Think of it as anti-ageing, but for the bits that rarely get to see the spotlight. It’s ultra-lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs in a flash, so there’s no awkward standing-around-waiting-to-dry dance. After a few weeks, I noticed a definite improvement in my skin’s firmness (bye bye crepiness)— a bit of a miracle for anyone facing the ravages of time (and gravity).

Boost Radiance with This Works Perfect Body Vit C Glow

I’ve always loved a bit of vitamin C for brightening my face, so why not use it for my body as well? The This Works Perfect Body Vit C Glow is just the thing to bring a glow to dull skin. This lovely product uses vitamin C, known for its antioxidant properties, which helps combat the environmental damage that leads to discolouration and dullness. Plus, it has an uplifting scent that makes it feel like a little burst of sunshine in a bottle. Think of this as your body’s radiance-boosting serum. Just a pump or two, and my skin feels more vibrant and looks so much healthier.

Exfoliate with QMS Active Exfoliant 5% Body Foam 

Just like our faces, our bodies benefit from regular exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells and reveal brighter, smoother skin underneath. Enter the QMS Active Exfoliant 5% Body Foam, a game-changer in the exfoliation department. This one has a 5% concentration of lactic acid, which is great for gently lifting away dead cells without being too harsh. I love that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped or irritated. Instead, I’m left with that “just had a facial” glow but from head to toe. Regular use of this will keep things polished and help other products penetrate more effectively. And let’s be honest, smoother skin just feels better, doesn’t it?

Smooth with Nécessaire The Body Retinol 

We’re well acquainted with retinol for the face, but using it on the body? Absolute revelation. Nécessaire The Body Retinol is a targeted treatment that helps with everything from uneven skin tone to those pesky bumps on the backs of your arms. Retinol promotes cell turnover, so over time, skin looks smoother and feels softer. The formulation also contains peptides, vitamins and AHA’s, and is gentle enough that it doesn’t cause irritation but potent enough to make a noticeable difference. For anyone looking to tackle uneven texture and tone, this is an essential addition to your bodycare arsenal.
