From head to toe: Why full-body skincare matters all year round

When it comes to skincare, most of us focus on our face, while the rest of our body is often an afterthought. But did you know that your body makes up over 90% of your skin’s surface area? And, explains Su-Marie Annandale, Clere Skincare brand manager, neglecting it can lead to dryness, uneven tone and discomfort, no matter the season.

Why full-body skincare matters

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and it plays a critical role in protecting you from external elements. Unlike facial skin, the skin on your body tends to be thicker and less oily, which makes it more prone to dryness, especially on areas like elbows, knees and heels. Seasonal changes, sun exposure and indoor heating or cooling can all strip your skin of moisture, leaving it tight and flaky.

According to global skincare studies, more than 60% of consumers experience dry skin at least once a year. In South Africa, dryness is a common concern during both winter and summer months due to fluctuating humidity levels. The solution? A consistent full-body moisturising routine that caters to your skin’s specific needs.

Your body deserves the same attention as your face

The same care you take in choosing facial products should extend to your body. Just like facial moisturisers are enriched with active ingredients, body lotions and crèmes can deliver hydration, nourishment and even complexion-enhancing benefits when formulated with the right ingredients.

“We know women’s skincare needs are as diverse as their lifestyles. That’s why Clere’s range of body lotions and crèmes is designed to do more than moisturise alone. These products nourish, protect and restore your skin,” Annandale adds.

Here’s why Clere stands out:

• Deep, long-lasting hydration: Clere lotions and crèmes offer up to 48 hours of moisture, so your skin stays soft and supple all day.
• Packed with skin-loving ingredients: From Gly-Co-Oil^®, a first-in-SA innovation loved for its hydrating power, to Vitamin B3, Clere formulations work to improve texture and tone for smooth, even-looking skin.
• For every skin type and need: Whether you prefer the light feel of a lotion or the rich texture of a crème, Clere has you covered with options that provide effective care without breaking the bank.

Year-round care, simplified

• Summer: Your skin needs hydration to counter sun exposure and air-conditioned environments.
• Winter: Indoor heating and dry air can cause rough patches – a richer crème can help.
• Every day: A quick all-over application after your shower helps lock in moisture when your skin needs it most.

Your face isn’t the only part of you that deserves to glow. With Clere’s trusted range of lotions and crèmes, you can keep your entire body nourished, radiant, and ready for every season.
