Nine hydrating and nourishing body products that go beyond your basic body cream
Here’s a question for you – do you treat the skin on your body as well as you treat the skin on your face? Beauty expert, Bahar Niramwalla highlights products that go well beyond your basic body cream so we can give our skin from the neck down a little extra TLC.
Everist Exfoliating Body Wash Concentrate
This product combines gentle daily exfoliation, cleansing, and hydration in one. With more than 25 percent glycerine and biodegradable bamboo charcoal particles, this multitasking shower hero cleans, buffs, and softens while helping the skin’s barrier. This ultra-clean concentrate is packed with more than 50 percent skincare ingredients, plus the bottle is made from 100 percent recycled aluminum. It’s made with a refreshing blend of five essentials including bergamot, orange, rosemary sage and peppermint. Simply activate a one-inch strip of this waterless paste while you’re in the shower and watch it transform into a rich, creamy lather.

It’s enriched with science-backed skincare ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin B5, plus it also contains a collagen-enhancing complex. It’s a no-rinse and ultra-lightweight serum that will hydrate, firm, smooth, soothe, and reduce redness and even skin tone while delivering a natural, streak-free, sun-kissed glow that lasts for days with an even fade.

They call it ‘immediate skin revival,’ and it’s intended to improve the look and feel of your skin every time you wear it.
