Skincare & Face Care

Shop Skincare and Face Care at The Body Shop

Our skincare products cover each step of a face skin care routine, from cleansing to eye care. If you wear makeup, melt it away first with the Camomile Sumptuous Makeup Cleansing Butter, which contains camomile oil. Our cleansers include the Vitamin E Cream Cleanser and the Seaweed Oil-Control Face Wash, and our toners include the Aloe Soothing Toner. Our serums include the Vitamin C Glow Revealing Serum, and our moisturisers include the Oils Of Life™ Intensely Revitalising Cream. Face masks, exfoliators, and peels complete the range as face care products you add to a routine as needed.

What skincare products do I need?

A basic routine needs a cleanser and a moisturiser, used morning and night, such as the Vitamin E Cream Cleanser and the Vitamin E Moisture Day Cream. If your skin is dry or oily, choose facial skin care made for your type, starting with these two steps. A toner or serum can go between them. Add one new product at a time so you can tell what each one does.

What order should I apply skincare in?

In the morning, apply skin care products in this order: cleanser, toner, serum, eye cream, and moisturiser. Our eye creams and serums include the Vitamin E Eye Cream and the Vitamin C Eye Glow Serum. At night, repeat the order with a night cream in place of the day cream. Our skincare sets bring steps together, and the Daily Hydration Set, the Daily Glow Set, and the Skin Reset Bundle each cover three.

How do I find my skin type?

Cleanse, wait an hour without applying anything, and note how your face looks and feels. Skin that feels tight points to a dry type, and shine across your whole face points to an oily one. If only your forehead, nose, and chin look shiny, your skin may be a combination type. If your skin is sensitive, start with a cleanser and a moisturiser made for it. Our skincare quiz also suggests a routine based on your answers.

How often should I exfoliate or use a face mask?

Follow the directions on each pack. Our face masks include the Charcoal Pore-Minimising Mask, which you can use two to three times a week, leaving it on for 10 to 15 minutes. The Edelweiss Bouncy Sleeping Mask goes on as the final step of your night routine and stays on overnight. The Edelweiss Liquid Peel, one of our face exfoliators, goes on cleansed, dry skin two to three times a week, and you rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Is your skincare suitable for men?

Our skincare for men includes the Guarana and Coffee Energising Moisturiser For Men and the Guarana & Coffee Energising Cleanser for Men, which both feature guarana and coffee and cover two steps of a men's grooming routine. Massage the cleanser onto a wet face morning and evening, then smooth the moisturiser onto a cleansed, dry face. A toner or serum can go between those two steps, as in any other routine.
