Winter is coming, which means the body’s skin dries out and itches. Right now is the right time to pay attention to body skin care as well.

Do you take care of your body skin as diligently as you do your face? Beautician Minna Malinen from the Helsinki-based Kajo Kauneushuone clinic explains why it is of primary importance to take care of the skin of the body.
– It is especially important to take care of the skin of the body so that the skin remains healthy and soft. Healthy skin acts as our protection against external stimuli. Soft and well-kept skin does not itch, peel or otherwise cause a headache, reminds Malinen.

– It is easy to think that skin care for the body is not as important as for the face, when it is not seen as often. However, it is important to remember that the skin of the body covers a much larger part of our skin area, he emphasizes.
Malinen’s tip is to choose products that you really like for your mirror cabinet, so that you will definitely use them.
– If you like light, fast-absorbing products, choose such products. If, on the other hand, you love rich, even buttery body creams, then look for body butters that you like.

So are there some ingredients that would be especially good to find in body care products?
– It would be good to find, for example, ceramides, pro- and prebiotics, glycerol and hyaluronic acid in moisturizing products. Oils and shea butter are also beneficial for the skin, Malinen says.
