Our skin is our largest organ and deserves as much care as any other body part – if not more. Yet, keeping it hydrated and nourished around the clock can feel like a challenge in our busy lives. The good news? Su-Marie Annandale brand manager for Clere skincare says, “Achieving beautiful, healthy skin can be simple when you know how to make your body lotion or crème work hard for you from sunrise to sunset and beyond.” Here’s how to maximise your skincare routine for all-day, all-night hydration and radiance.
1. Kick-start your morning with moisture and protection
Mornings are often the busiest time of day but taking a few minutes to moisturise after your shower can do wonders for your skin. Hydrating your body while your skin is still slightly damp helps to lock in moisture, keeping it soft and smooth throughout the day. Opt for a body lotion that will hydrate. Think of it as giving your skin a protective coat of armour before you face the day.
2. Combat daytime dryness with a quick refresh
Long hours in air-conditioned offices, exposure to sunlight, or simply being on the go can leave your skin feeling parched. To keep your skin hydrated during the day, consider carrying a smaller bottle of lotion in your bag. Target areas prone to dryness, like your elbows, knees, or hands, for a quick burst of hydration and smoothness. This mid-day touch-up doesn’t have to be extensive, but it can keep your skin fresh and supple.
3. Unwind and replenish before bed
Your evening routine is the perfect time to give your skin some extra TLC. As you wind down from your day, take a few moments to pamper yourself with a rich, nourishing body crème. Nighttime moisturisers should focus on repairing and deeply hydrating the skin, as this is when your body naturally works to regenerate itself. Applying lotion or crème before bed can also create a soothing self-care ritual that calms both the mind and body.
4. Choose products tailored to your needs
Everyone’s skin is unique, which is why choosing the right product for your specific needs is key. If your skin tends to dry out easily, opt for deep-moisturising formulas; if you’re looking for a radiant glow, select lotions enriched with nourishing oils or vitamin E. To visibly reduce the appearance of stretch marks, you may want a cream with targeted repairing benefits. Clere’s range of body lotions and crèmes offers diverse options tailored for deep moisturisation, radiant nourishment, and repair – helping your skin look and feel its best, day and night.
5. Build a habit, reap the glow
Consistency is key when it comes to skincare. Making moisturising a habit, rather than a chore, is what turns a routine into a ritual. It doesn’t need to be complicated; simply incorporating small moments of self-care into your morning and evening routines can pay off in the form of healthier, more radiant skin.
Skincare shouldn’t be complicated or reserved for special occasions. By understanding how to transition your body lotion or crème from day to night and choosing products that cater to your needs, you’re setting yourself up for round-the-clock care. Your skin deserves to glow, stay soft, and be nourished – without any complicated tricks or endless steps.
“Beautiful skin is achievable with simple, consistent care. By selecting the right products and making your skincare routine seamless from day to night, you give your skin the best chance to stay nourished, hydrated, and radiant every day,” Annandale concludes.
