This Summer’s Best Ingredients for Body
The skin on your body goes through a whole lot. From nearly constant sun exposure, to heaters and air conditioners drying you out, to steamy showers stripping the moisture from your skin—there are a lot of environmental stressors and seemingly harmless personal habits that can irritate and dehydrate your skin. And there is only so much your body wash can accomplish on its own. So while washing away sweat and grime is a key first step, building up a body care routine packed with ingredients designed to leave your skin silky smooth, happy, and healthy is a huge help.
The Protectors 🛡️
Environmental stress, like sun exposure or pollution, and any other damage your skin endures requires antioxidants to help fight against it and reverse the harm. Antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals caused by stressors, which poke tiny holes in your collagen, leading to wrinkles and dark spots.
- EVER's Superfruit Complex is high in antioxidants thanks to a blend of cocoa butter, apple, blackberry, cranberry, pomegranate, sweet cherry, and kiwi seed oils. Look for products with these superfruits to help brighten skin and keep it looking youthful and glowy. 🍒🥝
- Other powerful antioxidants include vitamin E and rosemary and seaweed extracts.
The Refreshers 💡
As your skin cells turn over, they need to be sloughed away to reveal a newer, healthier, brighter complexion. This can be done with a physical exfoliator like a scrub or a chemical exfoliator like alpha hydroxy acid—or it can be done with a combination of the two.
- Look for gentle physical exfoliants like sugar and magnesium salts to buff away dry, dull skin. 🧂
- Bilberry, sugar cane, sugar maple, orange, and lemon produce mild alpha hydroxy acid to leave skin refreshed. 🍁🍋
The Moisturizers 💧
Your skin needs all the hydration it can get. Humectants like hyaluronic acid help to draw moisture into the skin to boost water levels and plump up your complexion.
- Sea buckthorn seed, coconut, and argan oils contain essential fatty acids which help to keep skin smooth and moisturized. 🥥
- Shea Butter is not only rich fatty acids to moisturize and nourish the skin, it also protects and repairs thanks to antioxidants.
The Smoothers 🧈
Taking care of the skin on your body can help to prevent and smooth wrinkles and other signs of aging.
- Avocado, almond, and grapeseed oils hydrate and condition to help reveal soft, smooth, and firmer-looking skin. 🥑🍇
- Amino acids, major components of collagen, work to smooth, moisturize, firm, and reduce lines and wrinkles.
- And jojoba esters help to maintain skin elasticity and hydration.
