BODY CARE IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS FACIAL SKINCARE - INTERNATIONAL SELF CARE DAY
It’s important that we all set time aside to take care of ourselves, especially with the stresses of everyday life that can get to us. Wednesday 24th July marks International Self Care Day 2024, a day for celebrating the importance of caring for yourself in whatever form you choose. For some, self-care could be increased exercise, an improved sleep routine, more time taken to focus on mindfulness, or time spent away from screens. For skincare lovers, this is the perfect time to dig out your favourite products and have a much needed pamper session.
If you are struggling with a skin condition, this could be the perfect time to focus on body care too! We put a lot of our focus into our facial skincare, our makeup, and the way we look from the neck up - considering this is the part that other people will pay attention to most. Other areas of our skin are equally as important and shouldn’t be overlooked. Here are 4 easy ways you can up the ante with your self-care practices and take your body care more seriously.
WHY IS BODY CARE IMPORTANT?
Introducing a good body care routine into your daily life isn’t just about the self-care or mental benefits, it can be a key part of our overall skin and body health. After all, body care isn’t just what you apply on the outside - having a consistent exercise routine and balanced diet will help you maintain your skin and body from the inside out, helping you to feel healthy for the long-term. Using body care products with natural ingredients can help to reduce inflammation in the skin, nourish dry skin, improve skin regeneration and even help the skin to retain more moisture. Explore the Sorted Skin range, with prebiotic formulas to boost the skin’s microbiome, and naturally-active essential oils and extracts to keep your skin in check.
GIVE YOUR MICROBIOME A BOOST
Healthy skin starts with a strong skin barrier - this is our first line of defence. If the good bacteria in your skin is out of balance, this leaves you susceptible to the effects of external aggressors and can result in an unwanted skin flare-up. Introducing microbiome boosting body care products can aid in restoring the balance in your skin barrier, meaning stronger, healthier skin. We’ve got your bac-teria!
DRY SKIN TLC
Dry skin conditions can be hard to manage, with lots of products, upkeep and processes needed for maintenance. Whilst you have the opportunity, take some extra time to treat your skin with the care it deserves. Our Intensive Rescue Moisturiser is packed with skin-loving ingredients, designed to break the itch-scratch cycle and nourish dry, itchy skin. Why not cut out all the extra steps and introduce our easy 3-step Intensive Rescue routine into your daily dry skin routine?
CARING FOR DOWN BELOW
Intimate self-care might be a taboo subject, but down below deserves TLC just as much as the rest of your body does. Take International Self-Care day as an opportunity to hop in the shower and give your sensitive areas some extra care. Our Intimate Hygiene Wash can be used daily, but is also the perfect extra addition to your shower self-care routine. Intimate discomfort can have a huge impact on your mental health, so hitting the issue head on is an important part of your self-care practices. Packed with 10 natural essential oils and extracts that work to tackle the symptoms and causes of irritation and discomfort, the Intimate Hygiene Wash promotes healing, balance and long-term health of the intimate area by forming a natural, protective barrier.
SELF-CARE ON THE GO
Life can be busy, and we don’t always get the chance to set aside time for a long self-care session. Spray formulas can be a great way to introduce some extra body care on the go. Give yourself a boost of freshness and comfort with a few easy sprays of our Intimate Hygiene Spray, so you can feel great on the go. Suffering from dry, itchy skin? Pop our Intensive Rescue Spray in your bag to keep your skin calm on the go. No more scratching your skin all day! Formulated with anti-irritant and anti-itch Oat Extracts, a few sprays can significantly reduce redness along with any accompanying itchiness.
You deserve a little extra time to yourself, so up the ante with your body care routine and maintain a healthy balance in your skin with the Sorted Skin range. Show your skin some love with our vegan and cruelty-free formulas, with natural yet powerful ingredients.
