BODY CREAM REGIME

NINAS’ SKINCARE ROUTINE

Welcome back my darlings : -} I will like to begin by apologizing for the late post. My handsome brother graduated with honors in Industrial Engineering (not marketing him oh!).  But I am back now to give you guys wonderful tips to leave your skin naturally sun kissed.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR BODY CREAM

LETS DIVE IN :)

In my previous posts, I explained how to cure blackheads and generally care for your face. Today, however we are moving on to;

“How to cater for your body” (and I mean from your neck to the sole of your feet)

The body cream you use is as important as the way you carry yourself! (Excuse me Anita? Why so rude)

I say this because you cannot go into a board meeting or an interview looking like a dried cashew nut.  It is “very important” you apply lotion to your skin before leaving your house.  If you are in Nigeria where you cannot predict NEPA, (shout out to Mrs. Diezani and co) you can apply a small portion.

But buying a cream and just applying it sometimes doesn’t give the desired result. Don’t worry though, I got you;

You can add certain oils and other ingredients to your cream that will boost it.

BODY CREAM

Different bodies different types!  When buying your body cream there are certain criteria you should consider;

Questions you should ask yourself

·      Do I sweat a lot?

·      Is my skin dry or oily?

·      Is my skin sensitive?

·      Do I want to lighten up a little or extreme?

After asking these questions and answering them, you are ready to purchase one.

ADD-ON FOR YOUR LOTION

Below is a list of good ingredients you can mix in your cream that will give you excellent results.

·      Coconut oil

·      Lavender oil

·      Shea Butter

                                          WHAT DO I USE?

For moisturizer- I love my body butter (I can never shout!)  So you will always catch me with body butter. Then I mix it with other components.

I do not want to be specific with what brand of lotion I use because, my blog friends our skin varies. 

Add-ons- I mix my body butter with exactly what I highlighted above. But I will explain the importance of the each add- on

Coconut oil – This is one of my best oils. Especially because I live in Nigeria and it is HOT!  Coconut oil absorbs into the skin within seconds without leaving your skin dry.  But I advise not to use the whole bottle just a few drops in your lotion will do the magic.

Lavender oil- Ah! Beautiful scent that can turn any man’s head (hehe if it doesn’t work don’t blame me!). It can be used alone for wounds, burns and improves eczema.

 You can mix it with your lotion as it restores skin complexion and is best for reducing skin acne.

Shea Butter- Hmmm! (Disclaimer: do not use this product on your face!)  If you reside anywhere raw shea butter is sold, count yourself lucky.  You only need a teaspoon of shea butter in your cream.  It is also used as a remedy for dry skin, to help protect the skin’s natural oils.

EXTRA INFORMATION

 When mixing your cream with any of these products, you do not need to empty the add-ons into your cream. Just a few drops will do.

P.S:- Please  you do not have to use the exact products I display in my posts, you can buy a close substitute if you cannot find the product displayed on the blog.

Better still you are always welcome to email me what product you want to substitute and I will be glad to help.
