Why moisturize your body?

One of the beauty rituals often overlooked, yet essential for radiant skin on a daily basis, is moisturizing.

Body care, lip balm, all these beauty products are present in your bathroom, or should be. But why is it important to moisturize your body? The Nurish team answers your questions in this article.

What does it mean to moisturize your body?

Certain stages in your life can have an impact on your skin (pregnancy, anxiety, freezing winter...). So, whatever you're going through, it's important to keep your body hydrated. Make sure you drink at least 1.5L of water a day to meet your body's needs. In fact, proper hydration provides the following benefits:

• A skin more resistant to external aggression. In fact, like a shield, moisturized skin's enriched hydrolipidic film makes it more effective at fighting off aggressors such as the cold, sun and pollution.
• Delay cutaneous aging. Moisturized skin helps limit the signs of aging (spots, wrinkles, etc.).
• Keep skin radiant and healthy. As time goes by, skin cells begin to break down. For this reason, moisturizing your body on a daily basis helps keep your skin healthy and radiant.

How to choose the right moisturizer?

Choosing the right moisturizing cream for your skin is an important part of providing the best hydration for your body. Generally made up of an aqueous phase to provide the water our skin needs, and an oily phase to nourish and reinforce the hydrolipidic film that prevents water from evaporating, our body care is an essential step in your daily routine.

To make this part of your routine a real moment of well-being rather than a chore, it's important to choose the right product. It couldn't be simpler. A creamy texture that melts perfectly into your skin without leaving an oily finish. A fresh, fruity fragrance that makes this gesture a true moment of happiness in your day. The plus? A product suitable for all skin types, with ingredients of natural origin to avoid irritating components.

Why choose natural body care products?

When applying cosmetics, it's essential that they are fully assimilated and accepted by your epidermis. That's why it's so important to pay attention to the ingredients and formulas in your body care products.

With this in mind, Nurish has developed a body care range composed of 99.7% specially selected ingredients of natural origin. Shea oil, coconut oil and resveratrol are just some of the natural ingredients that moisturize your skin and pose no danger to your health. Want to find out more? Discover our body care range here.

How to apply moisturizer properly

Once you've found your ideal body care product, it's essential to know how to apply it properly. For a truly relaxing experience, we recommend that you use your body care product as follows:

• Firstly, to ensure your body is moisturized in the best possible way, we recommend a weekly body scrub. By getting rid of dead skin cells, your skincare product will tend to penetrate your epidermis better, making it more effective.
• Secondly, to moisturize your body in the best possible way, we advise you to apply your body care product after your shower or bath. By leaving your body slightly damp, the care products tend to penetrate more easily.
• Finally, when you apply your skin care product, we advise you to use light, circular movements to help the product penetrate your epidermis. This gesture will ensure greater effectiveness and improve the texture of your skin. The plus? These movements allow you to relax, for a real moment just for you.
