Nowadays, almost everyone has a skincare regimen going for the face. And it’s no surprise why that is; taking care of your skin properly can minimize the visible effects of environmental stressors, help to achieve the look of an even skin tone, unclog pores, and prevent the visible signs of premature aging – to name a few pros. Keeping a daily skincare routine is key to obtaining a healthy-looking complexion.

When exposed to external factors, our skin easily gets dehydrated. Dry skin has an increased risk for infections, and it can also lead to experiencing symptoms of sensitive skin. The skin tends to become more fragile as it loses the protective moisture that keeps it from drying out. Showers, shaving, drying detergents, harsh exfoliating products, allergens, pollution, and UV light might trigger the appearance of skin irritation and sensitivity. 

Often when we think of skincare, we only think of the face, but there is so much more skin to cover — as you might know, it is the body's largest organ, with an area of about 20 square feet. Its most vital function is to protect us from the visible effects of daily, stressful external factors. Moreover, it helps the body to regulate temperature and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. If you consider all this, the body most definitely deserves as much attention as our face. 

Swimsuit or ski suit, your body deserves a skincare routine that’s just as comprehensive and effective as the one for your face. Verso´s category N°10 includes all the care your body needs. Let us guide you to the essentials of a routine that is easy to follow and stick to while providing your best skin ever.

3 STEPS TO CREATE THE PERFECT BODY SKINCARE ROUTINE

It is well worth establishing a body skincare routine as well as identifying what body care products work best for you to keep your skin feeling hydrated and nourished - giving you that smooth, radiant body you long for. 

Having a structured body skincare routine that keeps your skin refreshed and moisturized goes beyond just showering regularly to clean up. By following three easy steps, you can obtain the skin you luster. 

STEP 1 - BODY CARE BEGINS IN THE SHOWER

The perfect body skincare routine begins in the shower. Water temperature is key in achieving the ultimate shower routine and impacts your skin. Ensure the water is not too hot, as comfortable and relaxing as a hot shower can be - it can aggravate your skin. Although there might be nothing better than a hot shower to relax or wake up to on a cold morning, it could be too harsh. Generally, if your skin stings in the shower or starts to turn red, your shower is too hot and may cause visible effects on your skin. This is because hot water strips your skin of its natural oils and dries it out. The same thing can be said for keeping your hair in good condition; having a shower that is too hot will strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it visibly drier and more vulnerable. 

Although less favored, particularly during cold winter, showering in colder, lukewarm water retains natural oils without skin drying out. This is something to acknowledge, especially if you have sensitive or extremely dry skin. 

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN SHOWERING

• Avoid using too hot water - your skin prefers cold or lukewarm water to retain its natural oils.
• If you are prone to sensitivity washing your face in the shower may be too hot for your face, causing visible irritation and/or dryness. 
• Staying too long in the shower - the longer you spend time showering, the more you will dry your skin.
• Avoid using shower products containing drying or potentially irritating ingredients such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or alcohols that may strip the skin of its natural oils.
• Choose an appropriate cleanser that cleanses gently but thoroughly while moisturizing your skin.

GENTLE YET EFFECTIVE

Typical daily use of a body cleanser can easily have a reversed and drying effect on the skin. Verso Body Oil Cleanser is designed to be gentle yet effective to use in the shower and will ensure the skin remains balanced. You'll notice a long-term hydrating effect without any greasiness or oily residue. Body Oil Cleanser has a velvety oil-to-foam formula that gives a soft and smooth sensation. This product is specifically developed to be a gentle yet effective cleanser. After every use, it will leave your skin feeling fresh, comforted, and hydrated.

Body Oil Cleanser is formulated with sunflower oil, Helianthus Annuus Hybrid Oil, which will leave the skin feeling smooth and hydrated. Along with Nordic Oats and Salicylic Acid, BHA, this exclusive oil cleanser will thoroughly cleanse, gently exfoliate and soothe your skin. The unique combination of ingredients will reduce the appearance of irritated skin and alleviate temporary discomfort.

HOW TO USE VERSO BODY OIL CLEANSER

Apply on moist skin all over your body. To further enhance the benefits of the BHA, leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it off. Repeat if needed. Body Oil Cleanser can be used daily or as needed.

STEP 2 – EXFOLIATE TO REVEAL FRESH, REVITALIZED SKIN WHILE BOOSTING RESULTS

The skin has a natural exfoliation process that helps slough off old skin cells. This process takes around one month for well-functioning skin and starts to decrease as we age. It can result in the increased appearance of dull skin and visible signs of premature aging. Also, the skin may more likely get clogged. Regular exfoliation can help promote the look of smoother and more radiant skin.

Furthermore, exfoliation is essential to maintain the skin's ability to absorb moisture and functional ingredients from body lotions and other body products that are applied afterward. Your body routine should include an exfoliating step to help keep your skin moisturized and nourished. The result is skin less prone to ingrown hairs, reducing the appearance of temporary discomfort and irritation.

REVEAL BABY-SMOOTHNESS

Verso Body Peel is a gentle peel formulated with chemical and mechanical exfoliating ingredients to promote the appearance of soft and radiant skin. 

Including Glycolic acid (AHA), the product visibly improves the skin's firmness and the appearance of texture and tone. Gluconolactone (PHA) has moisturizing properties and helps the skin lock in moisture; PHA also assists the skin by boosting its exfoliating process. Salix Alba Bark Extract, a natural salicylic acid (BHA), temporarily calms the appearance of redness and protects the skin from the visible effects of environmental stressors.

The beads used in this peel are made from cellulose and silica to ensure a gentle exfoliation without being too harsh on the skin.

The Verso Body Peel is developed with three main objectives in mind:

• Effective exfoliation with no drying effect.
• Promoting visibly smooth, radiant skin with an even texture. 
• Boosting results of your weekly body care routine.

Regular usage will help to boost your skin by removing old skin cells from the skin’s surface. Verso Body Peel is a complementary step to your body care routine to ensure healthy-looking and revived skin. 

HOW TO USE VERSO BODY PEEL

Use on cleansed skin. Apply all over the body or on the parts in need of exfoliation. Massage onto the skin and leave it on for 2-3 minutes, then rinse off. Body Peel can be used 1-2 times a week or added when needed.

STEP 3 – MOISTURIZE AND REPLENISH YOUR SKIN

Skin is our body’s first and foremost protective barrier. Day-to-day, our skin is exposed to elements that can cause visible dryness and tightness, which is why regular moisturizing is essential to keep the smoothness and resilience of our skin in check. Both shaving and exfoliating can cause the skin to dry out, so it is imperative to moisturize after either of these activities. If the skin is dry, it can often feel tight and itchy and may become more sensitive as it loses the moisture that keeps it from drying out.

Everyone should use a body moisturizer to hydrate the skin and lock in moisture effectively. Look for a formula that contains gentle, moisturizing, nourishing, and hydrating ingredients.  Find one you love and apply it as soon as you get out of the shower (when your skin is still damp) and then as needed throughout the day.

SKIN THAT´S SOFTER THAN SILK

Verso Body Lotion provides moisture, leaving the skin with an overall smoother appearance. The formulation contains a blend of beneficial ingredients to enhance the skin’s natural protection. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) provides hydrating, visibly brightening, and smoothing properties. Hydrolyzed Yeast Extract optimizes the hyaluronic acid level, leaving the skin plumped and supple. Nordic Oats have nourishing properties and promote a calm appearance, while Avena Kernel Oil and Avena Kernel Flour enhance natural skin protection against the visible effects of environmental stressors. Allantoin and Vitamin E visibly soothe the appearance of redness and irritation. Your skin will be left hydrated with a visibly rejuvenated texture.

This is a body favorite since it keeps your skin moisturized and radiant without going through a greasy phase since it absorbs in seconds while helping to visibly firm and tighten the complexion. A skin savior for a balanced body complexion.

Skin Expert tip! Verso Body Lotion perfectly doubles as a hand cream, disappearing into your skin in seconds and providing long-lasting moisture and softness. The thoroughly chosen ingredients help to promote a visibly even skin tone at the back of your hands, which are typically exposed to UV light.

As important as with our facial skin - be sure to stay safe in the sun by wearing sunscreen all over your body (including your hands!) and avoiding exposing bear skin to direct sunlight for extended periods – especially when the sun is stronges

HOW TO USE VERSO BODY LOTION

To help increase and maximize the skin’s moisture level, apply on warm and damp skin directly after the shower to enhance the effects of your body lotion. Massage the product onto your skin by starting with your arms and legs and moving towards your heart to improve radiance in the skin. Verso Body Lotion can be used as often as needed.
