I don’t know about you guys, but lately I’ve been spending more and more time caring for my skin. When I was younger, I really didn’t pay a lot of attention to my skin aside from worrying about acne or blemishes. The truth is that it’s important to care for your skin as a whole and to follow the right skincare regimen to leave your skin soft and radiant.
Believe it or not, there are quite a few things that you can do to make sure that you have soft skin all over your body. Many of them are everyday things that you can do that won’t even cost you a lot of money. Here are some of the tips that I have picked up over the years to keep your skin looking and feeling its very best:
- Drink lots of water – Staying hydrated helps to maintain the elasticity of your skin, especially as you get older.
- Exfoliate weekly – You should exfoliate and remove dead skin at least once a week to keep your skin looking its best.
- Wear Sunblock – Make sure you wear sunblock whenever you go outdoors. The sun can damage your skin if it is constantly unprotected.
- Take cold or cool showers – Taking hot showers can dry out your skin. If you can’t stand taking a cold shower, take a shower using lukewarm water instead.
- Use oil-based soaps – Using soaps with harsh cleaners can also irritate and dry out your skin. Softsoap Luminous Oils Body Washes hydrate and cleanse leaving your skin soft and radiant.
Softsoap Luminous Oils Body Washes are currently available in two variants: Avocado Oil & Iris and Macadamia Oil & Peony. They have just a touch of luxurious oils and an alluring fragrance which make my skin feel wonderful after every shower. It’s never too late to start taking better care of your skin!

I grew up with Softsoap products. I have not yet purchased this body wash, though I really should as my husband and boys complain often of itchy skin.
Living in Michigan our weather is wonky so taking care of our skin is a chore some days. I love using a great moisturizer and I use products 70 spf sunscreen or higher daily.

I moisturize as soon as I get out of the bath or shower, it helps keep my skin soft and full of moisture.
I use DIY masks. Homemade hydrating masks can provide needed moisture. I use natural moisturizing ingredients like honey, avocado, yogurt, olive and jojoba oils, almond oil, bananas, and aloe. Mix what you like together to create a cream or paste, and leave on skin for 10-30 minutes for lasting hydration.
I make sure to stay moisturized everyday or else I will be ashy. LOL!! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway 🙂
