1. JOSIE MARAN Pink Algae Pro-Retinol Body Butter for Anti-Aging and KP
Super thick and creamy, this hydrating body butter contains pink algae-derived Pro-Retinol, a gentler form of vitamin A that gives the same benefits with less
irritation. Cells turnover faster with daily use for smoother, softer and firmer
skin. It also helps control keratosis pilaris with no harsh exfoliants.
2. Hyaluronic Acid: Nécessaire The Body Serum
Serums can do the same for your body that they do for your
face. This one contains hyaluronic acid for hydration, niacinamide (vitamin B3) to strengthen
the skin's natural barrier and ceramide NP, which helps skin minimize moisture
loss. This serum soaks into skin quickly, and you can then follow with
moisturizer or mix the two together.
3. Vitamin C: Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Brighten + Tighten Body Butter
We’ve long been fans of Sunday Riley’s C.E.O. Facial
Moisturizer as it helps with fine lines, dryness and dullness. This body
butter promises the same for whole-body skin care, with shea butter to soothe
skin as well.
4. AHA: First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), like glycolic and lactic acids, exfoliate
skin to clear away dead skin cells and upper arm bumps known as keratosis
pilaris (KP). The addition of pumice-buffing beads in this scrub adds exfoliating particles for a deeper buff. With twice-a-week use in the shower, you can fight
against dryness, dullness and uneven texture.
5. Lactic Acid: Luna Daily The Everywhere Wash™ - pH + Microbiome-Balancing Body Wash For All Skin
Your face has a delicate microbiome, but so does the rest of
your body. The prebiotics and lactic acid in this body wash help maintain your
body skin biome while omegas 3 and 6 hydrate. This wash is gentle enough to be
used daily.
6. Niacinamide: Cyklar Vanilla Verve Nutrient-Rich Body Cream
Niacinamide, or vitamin B3, strengthens the skin barrier, minimizes pores and helps improve skin’s texture. Use it in this rich body cream, along with
banana flower extract to hydrate and soothe and prickly pear water to boost
moisture. All this coupled with a warm vanilla scent, and you have the perfect
daily moisturizer that appeals to the senses.
7. SPF: Beauty of Joseon Dayscreen 2-in-1 SPF 30 Moisturizer
If you wear a daily lotion with sunscreen on your face, of
course you should treat your other skin the same way. This daily sunscreen is
weightless and works for all skin types, with added green tea HA to soothe and
hydrate and ceramides for barrier support and moisture retention. Use as the
last step in your routine.
8. Ceramides: Aestura AtoBarrier365 Moisturizing Body Lotion
Dry and sensitive skin will especially benefit from this
lightweight lotion that uses microfine ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier
while PHA alleviates dryness, dullness and uneven texture. This lotion can be
used twice daily all over the body.
9. Glycolic Acid: The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick
When you need to target things on your body like ingrown hair, rough patches and breakouts, use this concentrated stick with 7% glycolic acid to exfoliate
and smooth. You can use this stick anywhere, as no water is needed to rinse, but
use it only a few times a week to avoid irritating skin.
10. Squalane: Biossance Caffeine Toning Body Cream + Squalane
Your body skin probably requires even more toning than your face, and this cream
uses caffeine to firm, niacinamide to improve texture and squalane to mimic
skin’s natural lipids and boost hydration. When applying, use circular motions on the belly and thighs to help its lifting powers.
