While we’re adept at layering our facial skincare, when it comes to body care, many people’s approach is “one and done,” quickly applying a lotion and dashing out the door. But embracing a body care routine - and using targeted products tailored for specific needs - will leave you with your best skin yet.

First things first, let’s tackle exactly what these products are designed to achieve. A body serum is a high-performance, actives-packed formulation. Its texture can vary greatly but the purpose of a serum remains the same, to penetrate the skin, delivering high-quality, active ingredients. A moisturizer, on the other hand, helps maintain your skin’s moisture-levels, aiding with hydration and rejuvenation.

In terms of application, while you can absolutely use a serum all over, I tend to smooth on the parts I especially wish to treat (for me, that’s areas such as my upper arms, belly and thighs) and then follow with a moisturizer all over for a happy hit of hydration. These two applied together will be everything your skin needs to maintain its health and a healthy glow - but they are most effective when applied to cleansed, exfoliated skin.

Our JOY Prescription: DAYDREAMER Firming Body Serum and LITTLE LOVE Hydrating Body Lotion are a match made in skincare heaven, leaving you with glowing, toned, smooth skin that smells delicious.
