How To Build a Skin Care Routine in 6 Steps

Suit your skin type

How you cleanse sets your skin up for the rest of the routine, so tailor it to you. If you have sensitive skin, you might want to avoid hot water, or if you have dry skin you might want to use a cleanser that’s super-moisturizing

Exfoliate

Exfoliating is great for helping rid the skin of dead cells and other dirt and debris (plus, it’s great for getting your circulation going). How much of this you do is down to your skin type: you might prefer a gentle daily exfoliation, or a full-on dry body brushing session once a week

Use a nourishing moisturizer

It’s what your entire routine should be built around. Appreciate that moment of peace by making your everyday moisturizer something really special like Dove Cream Oil Shea Butter Body Lotion. Its uplifting shea butter and vanilla fragrance will add a touch of luxury to your skin care regimen everyday

Try new products

Sometimes your skin needs more than nourishment, so get the best out of your routine by thinking about what you want from your skin and using products that will help you deliver it. If you’re looking for a replenishing moisturizer, try Dove Cream Oil Intensive Body Lotion. It’s gentle on skin and leaves it feeling extra soft

Remember your hands

Hand cream might not jump to mind when talking about a skin care regimen, but it’s important to give them daily care, too

Look for replenishing ingredients

To add a little something special to your skin care regimen, look for products containing nourishing oils, like Dove Cream Oil Shea Butter Body Lotion. Its unique DeepCare Complex (a blend of skin natural nutrients and rich essential oil) works to moisturize your skin deep down*, leaving yours feeling ultra-soft after every use
