Top Esthetician Tips for Moisturizing Your Body

Fall is here, which means cool, crisp air is coming our way! While it’s definitely crucial to stay hydrated during these dry times, moisturizing isn't just a step – it's a lifestyle. Here are our favorite esthetician-approved tips to keep your body feeling supple and buttery soft!

1. Choose Your Moisturizer Wisely

Whatever your needs are, there’s a moisturizer for you! Pick a moisturizer that suits your skin type and climate. Dry skin? Reach for thick and creamy formulations with ingredients like shea butter. Oily skin? Moisturizer is for you, too! To hydrate without feeling greasy, opt for lightweight lotions with hyaluronic acid.

2. Lock It In Post-Shower

Here's a pro tip: moisture loves company! Pat your skin dry after showering (no aggressive towel rubbing) and apply your moisturizer while your skin is still slightly damp. This helps to boost absorption and seal in hydration, leaving your skin feeling silky smooth.

3.  Embrace Body Oils

Ready to take your moisturizing game to the next level? Enter body oils, the unsung heroes of hydration. Lightweight and luxurious, body oils lock in moisture while leaving your skin glistening like a sun-kissed goddess. Smooth on a few drops after your shower and revel in your newfound glow.

4. Exfoliate Weekly

Gentle exfoliation is another key to making sure your moisturizer goes the extra mile. Treat your body to a weekly exfoliation session to slough off dead skin cells and reveal fresh, radiant skin underneath. Whether you use a smoothing scrub or a dry brush, your moisturizer will have a much easier time sinking in. Pro tip: one of our favorite tools for exfoliation is the Kitsch Deep Exfoliating Glove!

5. Hydrate From Within

The real secret to hydrated skin? A fully hydrated body! Drink plenty of water throughout the day to avoid dehydration and keep all the functions of your body in check. A healthy intake of water boosts circulation, ensuring your skin is able to receive the nutrients it needs.

We hope these tips help make moisturizing a self-care ritual you look forward to! Keeping your skin hydrated will not only help you look great, but feel even better. Need a little extra boost of hydration? Book a luxurious, moisturizing treatment with one of our estheticians today!
