At Simple Body, we believe beautiful skin starts with simple, effective steps using clean, nourishing, and natural ingredients. This guide outlines six skincare essentials—rooted in dermatological research and elevated by our natural skincare formulations. From the moment you cleanse to the lifestyle choices you make, each step supports a radiant, resilient complexion.

1. Start With the Right Cleanser – Respect Your Skin Barrier

Your cleanser sets the tone for everything that follows. Instead of stripping your skin, it should lift away dirt, makeup, and buildup—without disrupting your skin’s microbiome.

At Simple Body, our Foaming Face Washes are pH-balanced at 5.3 to match your skin’s natural acidity. Whether you choose Rose (ideal for dry or mature skin), Chamomile (soothing for sensitive skin), or Lavender (great for acne-prone or combination skin), you’re getting gentle coconut-derived cleansing agents that support—not stress—your skin.

Pro Tip: Cleanse twice daily, and always rinse with lukewarm (not hot) water to avoid drying your skin.

2. Exfoliate Gently – Reveal Brighter, Smoother Skin

Exfoliation is where dull, rough skin transforms. By sloughing off dead skin cells, you allow fresh, healthy skin to shine through and prep your skin for better absorption of serums and creams.

We recommend our Bamboo Face Polish for physical exfoliation that’s non-abrasive, using finely milled bamboo, sugar, and kaolin clay. Prefer a chemical option? Try our Exfoliate + Glow Tonic with natural fruit AHAs (like sugarcane, lemon, and maple extract) to stimulate cell turnover gently. Now, don’t panic when you see the work “chemical.” That doesn’t mean we put chemicals in our Exfoliate + Glow! “Chemical” exfoliation refers to the method. In this instance, we use natural fruit AHAs that dissolve dead skin instead of a “physical” exfoliator. The Bamboo is a “physical” exfoliator that uses small, round bamboo pieces to exfoliate! So, rest east, we just use botanical extracts to help dissolve dead skin~!

How often? 2–3 times a week for most skin types, and once a week if you’re sensitive or prone to redness.

3. Hydrate With Purpose – Layer in Deep, Lasting Moisture

Hydration isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of healthy, happy skin. Our Face Cream delivers ceramides, kokum butter, green tea extract, and glycerin to moisturize deeply without clogging pores. It’s ideal for sealing in moisture morning and night. Contrary to popular belief, even people with oily or combination skin NEED to moisturize! Sometimes oily skin is created because the skin is overly dry. Oil glands attempt to self moisturize the skin and begin over producing oil if the skin is too dry!

Need oil-free hydration? Our Barrier Defense Serum is packed with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, aloe vera, and green tea to restore hydration and strengthen the skin barrier—especially for oily or acne-prone skin.

Layering Tip: Mist your face with our Brighten + Boost Tonic, leave your face a bit damp, then apply your Barrier Defense Serum followed by our Face Cream to lock in the benefits.

4. Wear Sunscreen Every Single Day

Sun damage is one of the biggest contributors to aging and uneven skin tone. As a matter of fact, 80% of aging on the skin is due to extrinsic factors–like sun and environmental pollutants! We recommend using a mineral sunscreen daily, especially if you’re using products like Exfoliate + Glow or Age Defense Serum, which support skin renewal. While Simple Body doesn’t currently manufacture sunscreen, we proudly recommend All Good Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30—a clean, reef-safe formula that’s ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Fact: The most effective anti-aging product is sunscreen. No exceptions.

5. Target Concerns With Serums That Work

Simple Body serums are designed to deliver high-performance results using natural, plant-based actives. Whether you’re addressing fine lines, dryness, or barrier issues, there’s a serum for every concern:

• Wrinkle Defense Serum: Packed with hyaluronic acid and floral waters to visibly plump and hydrate.

• Age Defense Serum: Featuring bakuchiol (a gentle retinol alternative) and sea buckthorn to firm and smooth.

• Eye Defense Serum: With astaxanthin, phyto C3, and rosehip to reduce puffiness and soften wrinkles.

• Pomegranate Facial Serum: 100% pure organic pomegranate oil to deeply nourish and support elasticity.

Apply after cleansing and toning, but before moisturizing. For best results, use morning and night.

Pro Tip: Treat your skin like a garden. Feed it with the right nutrients and watch it flourish

6. Support Skin from Within – The Simple Body Lifestyle

Beautiful skin doesn’t stop at what you put on your face—it’s also about how you live. At Simple Body, we believe in a holistic approach:

• Eat antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, and nuts

• Stay hydrated

• Sleep 7–8 hours a night

• Move your body regularly

• Reduce stress with practices like journaling, nature walks, or yoga

We also host wellness events like our Gratitude + Glow Workshops to help you explore self-care beyond skincare.

Consistency, inside and out, is the real secret to glowing skin.
