Did you know? The skin is the largest organ in our body! It weighs approximately 3 kilos and measures about 2 m². It is what protects us from external aggressions and various ailments.
The drier or more dehydrated your skin is, the less able it is to provide this protective barrier. Discover why it's important to apply body cream regularly.
Why is it important to apply body cream?
Our skin plays a very important role in our body, and performs essential functions for our health and vitality.
The skin is an excretory organ , meaning it contributes to the elimination of toxins. It also participates in homeostasis, that is, the maintenance of our internal balance.
Our skin is also the first line of defense against external aggressors. Hydrated skin and a healthy hydrolipidic film therefore help protect us from wind, cold, pollution, and UV rays. This hydrolipidic film also allows us to maintain a good level of hydration: water loss leads to a loss of elasticity, fragility, and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
When should you apply body cream?
You can apply your body cream whenever you want, the important thing is above all to do it regularly and to integrate it into your routine.
However, the best time is right after showering . Water can be hard and dry out your skin, as can your cleansing products. Moisturizing your skin as soon as it's dry allows you to care for it optimally.
How to apply body cream?
Always apply your body cream to clean, dry skin , ideally after showering. Take a generous amount of your product and warm it in the palms of your hands.
Start at your feet and then move up your legs, using circular motions and gently pressing your legs. This also activates your lymphatic system.
Then move back up over your entire body, paying particular attention to your heels, knees, and elbows.
Our tip : To maximize the effects of your body cream, exfoliate your body once or twice a week. By helping your skin get rid of dead cells, you promote cell renewal. Pay particular attention to drier areas such as your heels and knees.
What is the best body cream?
The best body cream is one that moisturizes while respecting your skin type. Of course, we recommend using natural products, such as Théobroma products , which are made from nature's treasures and are suitable for all skin types.
Also choose the texture according to when you'll be applying it: if you're getting dressed afterward, opt for a fluid texture, like a body lotion . If you're applying your cream before bed, you can choose a richer, thicker cream to envelop your skin in an intense dose of hydration.
