Caring for your face and body doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We break down what to use where and how, so your routine stays effective.

The Hair

Whether your hair type is dry and brittle or oily, the condition of your hair often comes down to the health of your scalp. "Beautiful hair starts at the scalp," says Sam McKnight. "Your scalp and its microbiome need to be healthy to produce strong, vibrant hair." His Pure Genius 98% Natural Scalp Restoring Oil soothes, balances, and clarifies, while the Deeper Love Intense Treatment Mask delivers the regular hydration McKnight calls an often-overlooked step.

When it comes to tools, a La Bonne Brosse Brush detangles without breakage and helps distribute natural oils from scalp to ends. On low-wash days, Lazy Girl Dry Shampoo refreshes without powdery residue — just volume, texture, and a proper luxury scent.

The Eyes

The eye area is one of the most delicate on the body, and mascara is a surprisingly common culprit behind irritation and sensitivity. The Ruby Hammer Beauty Mascara & Brow Duo was three years in the making, formulated without common irritants and enriched with skin-loving actives instead. Hot Tip: No need to rub harsh makeup removers over the eye area, which can further irritate skin. Mascara & Brow Duo dissolves with just a few splashes of warm water.

For ongoing eye care, Biologique Recherche’s Creme Contour des Yeux VIP O2 was recently reformulated to better absorb into the eye area and combat dark circles, while Flash Patch Rejuvenating Eye Gels provide an instant soothing pick-me-up. And then there's Mimetique's CTRL EYE Cream. An advanced peptide-rich eye cream that smooths fine lines, reduces puffiness and brightens dark circles with biotech actives and multi-weight hyaluronic acid. A best-seller for a reason!

The Cheeks

When volume is a key indicator of youth, keeping your face fit can make a big difference. 

“A big part of being a fit fat cell is maintaining a healthy size. You can promote healthy fat cell size through regeneration — the more cells you have, the smaller the average cell size. You can also promote healthy fat cell size by inducing lipid release. Our formula combines both strategies. It’s unique in that respect.” —Ivan Galanin, founder of Adipeau.

The Lips

Lip filler can be helpful for those with concerns regarding fine lines on their lips and dehydration and wanting to create or restore volume. By respecting the natural anatomy of one’s lips, great results are inevitable and will allow for the lips to appear increasingly hydrated and rejuvenated. Book a consultation with our Nurse Injector, Adela, to find out what's possible for you.

The Décolletage

Every professional Biologique Recherche facial treatment tends to the décolletage and the neck, not just the face, and it’s something that Veronika Gueorguieva, education director at Living Beauty Inc., says should be taken into consideration at home. “There is a saying that the skin on the neck shows the true age of the person,” she says, pointing to the fact that people often neglect to apply their skincare and SPF to the area. “That’s why we should never forget to use our products for the face on the neck and the decolleté as well.” 

The Arms

A little bronzing can go a long way to giving the appearance of toned arms. “If you're looking for a way to add a little extra confidence to your skin, then using self-tan might just be the perfect solution,” says James Read, founder of Self Glow by James Read. For a touch of radiance, his Endless Summer Gradual Tan Moisturizer is fool proof. “Your skin will be left looking toned and radiant, boosting your confidence and making you feel your best.”  Hot Tip: The compact travel size means you can apply anywhere making it the perfect addition to your gym bag, to bring on holiday or to add to your daily skincare routine, whether it's morning, afternoon or even before bedtime.

The Hands

Hands are put through a lot of manual labour every day, from environmental stress to exposure to drying products like sanitizer or dish soap. Keep your bathroom stocked with products that nourish this hardworking area and remember to make time for some dedicated pampering for your mitts.  

The Stomach

Lymphatic drainage is a popular professional treatment with big-time benefits that include strengthening the immune system, reducing cellulite and boosting your mood. Performed on the stomach, it can improve bloating, break down fat cells and ease tension. Here’s our tips on how to treat your tummy to some TLC at-home

    1. Prepare the skin by using Lotion P50 Corps and Gant de Massage Corps, spreading over the abdomen in a clockwise motion about five times.
    2. Press your palms flat down gently onto the area in between your hip bones five times.
    3. Apply a generous amount of Huile Fondamentale to hands and make circular movements around the belly button five times in a clockwise pattern.
    4. Place hands under the middle of the rib cage and gently brush down, working around the belly button, covering the abdomen surface area.
    5. Lastly, place either palm on the side of each rib cage and bring together towards the middle with gentle pressure and down towards the groin again five times.
    6. End by pumping the lymph nodes between the hip bones three times. 

The Legs

Got a pair of Jacquemus’ Le Short in your cart? Prep your gams for their summer reveal with a combo of exfoliating, sculpting and firming products like Biologique Recherche Liposculpt AC, Biologique Recherche Gommage P50 Corps, Susanne Kaufmann Body Butter Cream and more.

The Feet

Take time at the end of a busy day of summer adventure to refresh your feet with a soothing treatment. Margaret Dabbs' Foot Hygiene Cream earns its "miracle in a jar" reputation — a rich, restorative formula that makes tired feet feel brand new. Hot Tip: We're all about zesty citrus toenails this season. Think Hermès orange, Gen Z yellow, and pink grapefruit. Explore Manicurist's newest shades for your next pedicure.
