The Best Body Care Tips

Here at LUV SCRUB, we take body care seriously. Glowing skin care from the inside out is of top of mind lately, but it’s more than just a trend. It’s a lifestyle. Taking care of yourself will always been in style. We recommend using a LUV SCRUB, a West African mesh exfoliating tool, for the best clean all over your body. Learn more about how to take care of your body below and let us know what your favorite tips are.

A Head-To-Toe Clean

When it comes to getting clean every inch counts. That’s why we make sure to do an “everything shower” at least once a week (instead of just the rushed rinse off between the gym and work- we’ve all been there). In an everything shower, make sure to get every part of you clean from your head to your toes. We recommend using a LUV SCRUB for its rich lather and using it behind the ears, stretching it to get behind your back, and making sure to get your feet cleaned as well! There’s no better feeling than being squeaky clean all around. 

Exfoliation

Once you’re all squeaky clean, an essential step in the body care process is to make sure you’re exfoliating. Dirt and oil can cause buildup on your skin if you’re not exfoliating regularly. While you can reach for a scrub for part of your body care, that can be a little too harsh on your skin to use every day. We recommend using your LUV SCRUB with a gentle touch with your favorite body wash. It will gently exfoliate the rough skin and leave your skin glowing.


Moisturizing

Now that your skin is squeaky clean and you’ve gotten rid of any excess dirt and oil, you want to make sure to moisturize. If you skip this step, your skin will remain dry. Especially in the harsh winter months with all of the elements of the weather, you want to seal in the moisture. A rich body cream or lotion all over your body will keep your skin smooth and supple. Adding on a body oil like vitamin E or jojoba oil will make it even softer. Doing this step before bed will help seal in the moisture in your clean, smooth skin overnight. You’ll wake up feeling like a glowing goddess with this body care routine.


Feed It Nutrient-Rich Foods

Now that you’ve taken care of your body on the outside, it’s time to take care of the inside as well. There’s no better way to do that then to make sure you’re eating nutrient-dense foods. Adding salmon, avocado, spinach, nuts, and more vitamin-rich foods to your diet will not only impact your overall health, but your skin health as well. Try adding one more of these foods a day and see how the results are.

Take Care of Your Mind

We’re big advocates of taking care of your mental health. If your body is glowing from the inside out, it won’t feel great if your mind isn’t in the right space. The way you look often reflects how you feel on the inside. Make sure to take some time for yourself at the end of the day, even when things get busy. Soaking in a bath can be great for your body care and your relaxation as well. You can even add essential oils for a spa-like ambiance. Writing in a journal, meditation, and confiding in a close friend are also great ways to prioritize your mind.

At the end of the day, taking care of yourself should be a daily practice, not an emergency measure. We’ve all noticed in the mirror when our skin isn’t looking our best. Prioritizing body care will make you look and feel your best. Using a LUV SCRUB, a West African beauty secret for ages, will make sure your skin is not only smooth and clean, it will be glowing from the inside out. It’s not a trend, it’s a lifestyle.
