Why is body care important for your skin?
Every day, the body is exposed to factors that can put stress on the skin. Wind, cold, sun, hot showers, shaving and the daily friction from clothing can leave the skin dry and less flexible. Even if your skin already feels healthy and soft, it still needs ongoing care to maintain its natural suppleness and support the skin barrier.
Body care with body lotion and body oil is not just about indulgence. According to Rudolph Care, it is an essential part of skin wellbeing. Lotion and oil add moisture to the skin and help seal it in, improve elasticity and leave the skin feeling comfortable and supple. With the right care, the skin can remain balanced, healthy and glowing all year round.
Rudolph Care’s body care products combine natural ingredients with carefully composed formulations that work in harmony with the skin’s needs. Whether you are looking for daily care, deep nourishment or extra glow, the range is designed to suit all skin types and preferences.
Body lotion or body oil – what is the difference?
When choosing body care, it can be helpful to understand the difference between a body lotion and a body oil.
Body lotion is a light, fast-absorbing product, making it ideal for daily use. It protects the skin from dryness while leaving it soft and supple without a greasy feel. A body lotion or hand and body cream is suitable for all skin types.
Body oil provides a more intensive care experience. The oil helps bind moisture in the skin and creates a protective layer that supports the skin for longer. It feels silky on application and is especially well suited for dry skin or areas in need of extra nourishment. Body oil can also give the skin a natural glow and a soft finish that lasts throughout the day.
Find the right body care for your skin and your preferences
Rudolph Care’s Açai Body Lotion and Body Oil are suitable for all skin types. The key choice is whether you prefer oil or cream. Here are a few tips to help you choose.
For dry skin
If your skin feels tight, rough or lacks glow, it needs intensive nourishment. A rich body lotion or body oil provides deep moisture, improves elasticity and leaves the skin comfortable and supple. If you have dry skin, you can use both Açai Body Lotion and or Body Oil. Our very best body care tip is to mix the two. One pump of Açai Body Lotion and one pump of Body Oil. Blend between your hands and apply to the body.
For sensitive skin
If you have sensitive skin, you are in the right place. Founder of Rudolph Care Andrea Elisabeth Rudolph has always had dry and sensitive skin on her body as a result of many years of swim training in chlorinated water. This led her to make it her mission to develop a body lotion for sensitive skin that could soothe irritation and dryness.
Açai Body Lotion was one of the first eight products Andrea Elisabeth Rudolph launched when she founded Rudolph Care in 2009. It remains a classic today, coming to the rescue of dry and sensitive skin with a high level of nourishing organic oils and shea butter.
For normal skin and daily care
If you have normal skin that does not dry out or feel irritated, you are free to choose across the range. Whether you prefer a nourishing body lotion or a rich, silky body oil is entirely up to you. If you are looking for even richer care, the ultra-nourishing Açai Body Balm may also be for you.
For extra care and glow
If you dream of a spa-like moment at home in your bathroom, body oil is an excellent choice. It provides deep moisture, nourishes the skin and invites you to massage the body as you apply it.
Body Oil can be combined with massage using a gua sha tool, which may help stimulate circulation in the skin and ease tension in tired muscles.
How to use body lotion and body oil correctly
To get the most out of your body care products, it is important to use them correctly and make them part of a regular routine:
- Best after bathing: The skin is slightly damp when you step out of the shower. Apply your body lotion and/or body oil immediately, as the moisture on the skin helps the products absorb more deeply.
- Açai Body Lotion: Apply all over the body after bathing to help maintain moisture and comfort.
- Body Oil: Use on its own on dry areas or in combination with your lotion for extra nourishment. Especially suitable during the winter months, when the skin needs additional protection and care from cold and wind.
By adjusting your routine to both skin type and season, you can optimize moisture, comfort and the skin’s natural balance.
Tip for mixing self-tan with body lotion and body oil
A sun-kissed glow without sun exposure is possible, all year round.
The Rudolph Care bestseller A Hint of Summer – The Classic is created to be mixed with your Açai Body Lotion or Body Oil. Mix three to six pumps, depending on the desired intensity, with your usual amount of lotion or oil and apply evenly to the body. Take care to distribute the product evenly for a uniform golden glow. After a few hours, the skin develops a natural tan from the sugar molecule DHA. Repeat over the following days to build intensity.
