The Skinification of Body Care
What is Skinification?
Skinification means having a head-to-toe skincare routine aimed at nourishing the skin and addressing concerns with active ingredients. In other words, you’re giving the skin on your body the same kind of consideration that you do your face. The trend is creating more interest in improving body care concerns using clinically-proven active ingredients such as niacinamide, caffeine, chemical exfoliants, and squalane.
The Importance of Skincare for the Body
The skin is your body’s first line of defense against bacteria, pollution and the outside elements. When it’s damaged or compromised, microbes, funguses, and viruses get easier access to our insides. On the body, this can show up as as rashes, or even fungal or bacterial infections. More commonly, though, we notice interruptions in our body’s skin barrier as itching, flaking, and uneven texture. Fortunately, the right active ingredients can improve the appearance of these common skin concerns.

Enzyme Sugar Body Scrub
Our award-winning biodegradable body scrub uses dual exfoliation to reveal smoother, more hydrated skin in a single use.

Powerful enough to provide overnight results, but gentle enough to use every day, you can customize this scrub based on how much water you incorporate to attack areas of rough skin while protecting sensitive spots.
