A Head-to-Toe Body Care Routine
3rd Sep 2024
Caring for the skin on our body is just as important as the attention we give to our face. Dr. Sturm’s philosophy is that every skincare routine - whether it’s for the body or the face - should combat inflammation and deeply hydrate and nurture the skin using highly active, anti-aging and non-aggressive ingredients. And just like your complexion, your body routine should begin with thorough cleansing and include exfoliation and intensive hydration. A fully comprehensive Dr. Barbara Sturm body routine features the BODY WASH, SCALP SERUM, V COLLECTION and more. With consistent use, these essentials will leave your skin healthy and radiant, from head-to-toe.
Let’s start from the top:
Step 1
Begin your body routine before the shower, with Dr. Sturm’s BODY BRUSH. Regular exercise and a healthy diet contribute to smooth and toned skin and when combined with body brushing, can help diminish the appearance of cellulite. Dry brushing the skin also opens pores and mechanically boosts circulation to increase localized blood flow, giving you a little energy boost whilst also gently removing layers of flakey, dead skin.
Step 2
Once you’re in the shower, cleansing with hydrating and soap-free products is essential to keeping your skin barrier function healthy and your skin glowing. Dr. Sturm’s new BODY WASH is a velvety gel formula that cleanses without removing natural oils or moisture from the skin. The gentle wash is fragrance, color and sulfate-free and contains plant-based tensides and Glycolipids which provide a light foaming action that cleanses without drying out the skin.
Step 3
Imbalances of the microbiome and to the distinctive pH of the vulva and vagina varies with age, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause and more, and can lead to infections – so it’s important to opt for gentle, soap-free formulations that do not disturb the vagina’s natural pH. Dr. Sturm’s gynecologically tested V WASH contains Pre- and Probiotics that help maintain the microbiome of the skin and its optimal pH value to prevent unhealthy bacteria and yeast causing infection.
Step 4
Right after you shower it is essential to replenish and restore the skin’s moisture levels with a body cream or lotion. Dr. Sturm’s ANTI-AGING BODY CREAM is infused with pure Glacier Water, extracts of White Almond and Elderberry Blossom which help to firm the skin and nutrient-rich oils which restore elasticity. Its lightweight texture absorbs easily skin and is ideal in protecting against transepidermal water loss, leaving the skin nourished and glowing.
Step 5
V DROPS can be applied to the vulva after the shower and are specially developed to maintain the health of the female intimate area and to calm and hydrate the skin. The drops include precious Ruby Stone Powder and Prickly Pear Extract for hydration and soothing after shaving, and Pre- and Probiotics help support the microbiome of the skin and help reduce any visible signs of irritation.
Step 6
Our hands are constantly exposed to external factors like wind, rain, sun and water, which can dehydrate the skin as well as surfactants from frequent hand washing too. Dr. Sturm’s HAND WASH thoroughly cleanses the hands without removing the skin’s natural oils using plant-based tensides derived from Coconut Oil and Glucose which foam without drying out the skin. Follow with the SUPER ANTI-AGING HAND CREAM which contains a blend of vitamin-rich, nourishing vegetable oils and antioxidants that smooth and soften the skin.
Step 7
Finally, maintaining scalp health is often overlooked but can be the key to achieving beautiful hair. Dr. Sturm’s SCALP SERUM features Hyaluronic Acid and Purslane which provide intense hydration, Indian Kino Tree Extract, which acts as an intensive anti-aging treatment and Panthenol, which supplies additional moisture and has a calming effect. Trickle the formula directly onto your scalp (on dry or wet hair) and massage in gently. For best results, use the SCALP SERUM in the evening to optimize scalp health.
