The Secret to Your Healthiest and Softest Skin
We each have our own personal relationship with our skin, but there is one thing we can all agree on: healthy skin is the goal. It is something we all want, whether you are a woman or a man. Thankfully, we have products that deliver that, and then some. We do not just want healthy skin for you. We want your skin to smell fantastic and have a radiant glow. When people come to our website, they sometimes get overwhelmed and wonder where to start. This article is for you.
Step 1: It All Starts in the Shower
Cleansing the skin is the obvious first step of any body care routine, but an often overlooked step is exfoliating, and exfoliating in a way that is gentle enough for daily use. A quick note: physical sugar or salt scrubs and microdermabrasion tools can be too rough for an everyday routine, especially on sensitive areas.
That is where our exfoliating nets come in. They dry fast, are washable, and are gentle enough to use daily, even on sensitive areas. Sometimes your skin's natural desquamation (the technical term for the natural shedding of dead skin cells) needs a little boost, and that is exactly what these nets are for. We offer both a rough and a soft texture so you can choose what suits your skin, and they come in a range of colors you can match to your bathroom decor.

Step 2: What About Soap?
Now that you have the right tool (exfoliating net), you need the right products to use alongside it. There is nothing like a fat bar of soap that cleans your skin without stripping it. Thankfully, we carry over 30 varieties of handmade soap each serving many needs, but the ultimate is cleansing without stripping. A popular option is our custom soaps where you can make your own soap from scratch.

We recommend following up our bar soaps with our Moisturizing Shower Oil.
Even though "oil" is in the name, this is actually a soap, formulated to soften the skin while in the shower. Our Moisturizing Shower Oil also works beautifully as a standalone cleanser.
Together, bar soap and shower oil make a great double-cleansing routine that preps your skin to absorb the emollients and extracts of the next step, our body creams.

Step 3: The Non-Negotiable Body Cream
Like we said at the start, everyone's skin is different. We do not all have the same needs, which is why we offer three types of body creams, each formulated for something specific:
Hydrating Body Cream: made with humectants and actives like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and green tea extract
Soothing Body Cream: made with hydrolyzed oats, flaxseed gel, and chamomile extract
Radiant Body Cream: made with licorice root, carrot seed extract, and more
Notice we said cream, not lotion. Lotion is mostly water with a small amount of oil, while a cream is richer and more nourishing. Less water and more emolients compared to a lotion. All of our creams are built on a base of jojoba wax, argan oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter, so every version delivers the same deep nourishment, just tailored to different skin needs.
✨ Bonus points if you apply your cream onto lightly damp skin.
Step 4: The Cherry on Top
Now that your skin has been doused in nourishment, the last step is making sure it stays that way. Our Solid Body Oil is an occlusive, meaning it locks in moisture and hydration so your skin stays soft and supple long after you've applied your body cream. Oh and did we mention the glow?! It's formulated with work horse ingredients, including carrot seed extract, CoQ10, mango seed butter, rosehip seed oil, and more. An a little goes a long way.

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.
