If you diligently follow your facial care routine yet fail to invest in caring for the skin on your body, it is time for a body care overhaul! By prioritizing your skin's health, you are caring for your total wellness. We've said it before, and we'll say it again, the skin is your largest organ, covering you from head to toe. Isn't it time we give it the same respect we show our faces? After all, what's good for the skin on your face applies to the skin on your body. To crush summer weather and skin-baring attire, these wellness and beauty tips for healthy body care will help you achieve optimal skin health!

Get moving.
Exercise increases blood flow and oxygenation, which are vital for healthy skin. Not a fan of exercising in the heat? Walking in the mall is a great way to get your steps in without breaking much of a sweat. Worried you’ll end up shopping instead? Leave your credit cards at home or get a workout buddy equally committed to exercising, not acquiring debt! Or turn on an at-home exercise video, grab hand weights, and crank up your fitness playlist and AC!

Eat light.
To ensure that your new fitness plan supports your body goals, stock up on fruits, veggies, and other healthy fare in advance of the appetite surge following exercise.

Hydrate from within.
Drink plenty of water to compensate for fluid loss due to exercise and summer heat. If you and water don't see eye to eye, try fruit-enhanced, no-sugar, or sweetener-added waters or iced decaf herbal tea. Be sure to avoid sugar-laden sports drinks, sodas, and teas which can contribute to early signs of aging on the face and body!

Be a Glow Getter! 
Here are some beauty secrets for body care that will help keep the skin on your body smooth and glistening.

• Change your body wash: Use a sulfate free natural shower gel to help keep your skin barrier healthy and help prevent dryness and irritation.
• Get your scrub on: You exfoliate your face weekly according to your skin type and formula, so, why not your body? Our Rosemary-infused natural exfoliating body scrub sweeps away dulling dead skin cells and enhances your glow. Use it once or twice a week to enable our moisturizing formulas to do their job better.
• Find a Fave Shave: Take the extra time to shave, not just when shorts are on the menu or getting ready for a special night out! Our sulfate free Easy Glide Shaving Emulsion, one of the best natural shaving creams, provides an enjoyable way to feel better about the skin you are in!
• Banish Bumps: If you are prone to ingrown hairs or body acne, use a natural salicylic acid cleanser to help eradicate pesky bumps and achieve clearer skin.
• Preserve Moisture: Applying a body moisturizerfree of mineral oil immediately after bathing will help keep your skin dewy and luminous. Instead of baby oil post-shower, spritz on our non toxic Dry Oil Body Moisturizer and layer with any of our other moisturizing, smoothing formulas for dryness.
• If you want tighter-looking skin and refreshing, lightweight formulas, the fast-absorbing Lumafirm Body Moisturizerlaced with citrus notes will be a match.
• Got dimples or crepey skin you'd like to smooth? The Crepe-No-More Body Cream is your answer.
• When the sun sets on Summer, switch to the De-Aging Saltmousse - Papaya-Pineapple and De-Aging Body Balm - Papaya-Pineapple to prolong the season's vibe and get to work on sun damage.
• Remember, your hands and feet are part of your body and deserve the extra TLC of a natural foot creamand hand cream for all they do for you.
