I think it is important to have a body skincare routine because as you age your skin becomes drier. One of my best friends was told by a dermatologist to start having a skin care routine for herself as her dry skin could easily become irritated, itchy and cause an infection.
First of all, in my routine, I use a soap free body wash from a variety of brands (QV, Cetaphil, Dermeze, Dermaveen), Dermal that have oatmeal in it.
Secondly, I use a variety of body creams – CeraVe’s Moisturising cream, Cetaphil’s, Dermal’s and now I am about to try Weeleda’s body butter, after my evening shower. I use these creams either every night or second night on my arms, legs, chest to prevent any dryness or itchiness on my porcelain skin that can easily be dried out by the Australian sun.
I pay particular attention to my feet, using a scrub to get rid of any thick heels and apply Eucerin’s heel cream or Dermal’s Foot cream, to moisturise them.
