We’re all familiar with the importance of having a skincare routine for your face, but what about the rest of your body?
Get ready to embrace one of the biggest beauty trends in 2024 - body care!
Despite our expertise in skincare routines, including understanding our skin types, adapting products for different seasons, and prioritizing SPF, it’s surprising how often we neglect the skin below the neck.
Thankfully, the beauty industry is shifting focus, dedicating more time, research, and product development to body care. After all, the skin on our faces is drastically different from the skin on the rest of our bodies, which demands its own unique customized routine!
Continue reading to discover the simple approach to body care and learn how you can master this emerging beauty trend.
A Simple Body Care Routine
Body care should be as personalized as your skincare routine. Start with our simple 3-step routine, from here you can incorporate tailored treatments designed specifically for you!
If you barely remember to put on body lotion after a shower (we’ve all been there), this is where you’ll want to begin…
Step One
Body care starts in the shower. The first step is to use a gentle cleanser for your entire body. However, not all body washes are created equal. Look for ones free of fragrance, parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, artificial colors, micro-beads, mineral oil, and phthalates.
Instead opt for body washes that contain healing and soothing ingredients like aloe vera, oatmeal, jojoba oil, hyaluronic acid, and shea butter.
Step Two
While still in the shower, it is time for step two: exfoliation. Unlike the skin on our faces, our body’s skin can handle more frequent exfoliation, so consider incorporating this step into your showers a few times per week, especially if you have dry or acne-prone skin.
We highly recommend our Facial Scrub. This product can be used on the delicate skin of the face, and the rest of the body. Focus on exfoliating the chest, upper arms, and legs for smooth skin.

Use this scrub before shaving to prep the skin. This will ensure you get a closer shave and reduce the chance of ingrown hairs. Remember to avoid sensitive areas!
Step Three
After cleansing and exfoliating, it’s time to hydrate your skin by lathering it with lotion to seal in moisture and maintain healthy hydration throughout the day!
We recommend HGO, The Lotion. It is lightweight and perfect for use on your entire body. This lotion is packed with nourishing ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, organic beeswax and honey, and soothing oils like chamomile. This lotion will keep your skin feeling, smelling, and looking amazing all day.

Tailor The Body Care Trend to You
Once you’ve mastered the basics, it’s time to customize this trend and incorporate additional steps to transform your body care routine into a head-to-toe experience.
Much like skincare, you have the freedom to include as many steps as your heart desires to achieve the results you’re after.
An essential step we highly recommend is caring for the extremities; now is the perfect time to pamper your hands and feet.
The Cuticle & Nail Crème is a rich formula designed to mend dry and brittle nails, promoting longer and stronger nail growth while keeping the nails healthy by nourishing the cuticles.

Give your nails a break from polish, and simply apply a small amount of this crème directly to the nails and buff for a sleek, shiny appearance without the need for nail polish!
Your body care routine wouldn’t be complete without applying our Foot Balm. This rich cream diminishes calluses, hydrates the skin, and makes your feet summer-ready with ease! It also smells like everyone's favorite flower...Lavender!
There are countless ways to care for your body and develop a personalized body care routine that suits your specific needs!
