4 Body Care Tips You Probably Never Thought About

4 Body Care Tips You Probably Never Thought About

1. Your Bed Sheets and Clothes Are Absorbing Your Body Care! 🛌

Ever wondered why your skincare routine doesn’t seem as effective as you’d hoped? Your bed sheets and clothes might be to blame! After applying your body products, your skin needs time to absorb them before your sheets and clothes do. Instead of rushing into your silk pajama's or bed, consider wearing a light robe after your shower. The less, the better. This simple step can make a huge difference. 

Tip: Start your Body Care routine at least 2 hours before bed to allow your skin to fully absorb the actives from our BLK LABEL SOCIETY Body Cream.

2. Apply Lotion/Body Cream on Damp Skin🧴

Here’s a trick you might not know: applying lotion to damp skin enhances moisture absorption. When your skin is wet, it becomes more permeable, allowing your products to penetrate better and work more effectively.

Why it works: The moisture from your shower helps spread the product more evenly and efficiently, which means you use less product while getting better results.

Pro Tip: Avoid dipping wet hands into any containers to prevent contamination. Instead, use with a dry hand, or go grab a small spatula ! 

3. Actives Penetrate Better on Wet Skin 💦

The outermost layer of your skin, the stratum corneum, is more receptive when damp. This means the active ingredients in your body care products can penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

Did you know?: Our Body Cream features:

  • 3% Niacinamide
  • Green Tea Extract
  • Licorice Root Extract
  • Mulberry Extract
  • Glycerine
  • Aloe Vera
  • Vitamin B5 (Panthenol)

These active ingredients are more effective when your skin is slightly damp, ensuring you get the most out of your routine.

4. The Order Matters!   📝

When layering skincare, order is crucial. Always start with water-soluble products on damp skin. Check the ingredients list: if water is listed, it’s a water-soluble product. Apply these first to maximize their effectiveness. Follow with thicker, more occlusive products like our Solid Body Oil.

Why it matters: Applying oil first can create a barrier that prevents water-based products from penetrating your skin. Instead, use oils as the final step to lock in moisture.

Pro Tip: Allow time for each layer to absorb before applying the next to enhance the effectiveness of each product.
