Don’t stop at your face—your body deserves a beauty routine, too! Glistening skin is in, and a dedicated body care regimen will help you maximize your radiance. Here is the ultimate body care routine for glowing skin from head-to-toe.
Step-By-Step Body Care Routine for Glowing Skin
These are the exact steps you’ll want to take to achieve stunning, illuminated skin that looks as good as it feels.
1. Exfoliate for a Smooth Canvas
A glowing skin routine should always include exfoliation. Old skin cells build up on the surface of the skin, contributing to dullness and rough, irregular texture. By buffing away these skin cells, you’ll reveal fresh, smooth, and luminous skin underneath.
What’s even better is that exfoliating helps your body care products work more effectively. Dead skin cells create a barrier on the skin’s surface, preventing body lotions, oils, and other products from penetrating deep into the skin. Exfoliation preps your skin for the next steps in your routine, ensuring you are getting the most out of your favorite products.
When you shower, reach for a body scrub or an exfoliating mitt or sponge to gently exfoliate your skin. Pay special attention to any areas that tend to be rougher, such as the knees and elbows.
2. Hydrate After Showering
After you’ve showered and exfoliated, it’s time to treat your skin with some serious hydration.
The secret to maximizing your skin’s hydration levels is applying a hydrator right after showering, when your skin is still damp. The product will draw that moisture deep into the skin to increase water content for ample suppleness, softness, and natural glowiness.
Our go-to body care product for next-level hydration and gorgeous glistening skin is the Major Glow High Shine Nourishing Body Oil. This silky smooth body oil mist offers a shimmer-free, high-shine finish. Simply spray it onto the skin and massage it in to reveal your radiance.
This luxe body oil dries down quickly for ultimate ease. No need to worry about a greasy, unwearable feel! Even better, it’s enhanced with the Patrick Ta signature scent—a blend of bergamot, jasmine, and sandalwood.
Beyond delivering dramatic shine, this oil is made to promote healthier skin. It’s crafted with deeply moisturizing meadow seed extract and a barrier renewal complex, as well as a protective plant-derived antioxidant blend. Expect instant shine and long-term hydration.
3. Highlight and Illuminate
The perfect complement to body oil? A body balm that will turn up the glow. An oil will give you envious all-over shine, while a balm will put a spotlight on your best features.
The decadent Major Glow Balm is going to give your skin a glass-like glow that will turn heads. Think of it as a highlighter for your body.
Made with micro-fine pearls, this glossy balm has a subtle shimmer for luminous skin. Jojoba oil, shea butter, and rice bran emollients moisturize, hydrate, and protect for healthy and luxuriously dewy skin with a striking, glossy finish.
This indulgent body balm is available in two universally flattering shades. She’s Glossy is a clear illuminating balm, while She’s On Vacation is a radiance-boosting bronze. Like the body oil, it is crafted with Patrick Ta’s signature sweet and sultry scent.
Using a body brush or your fingers, apply the balm to your shoulders, collarbones, décolletage, and shins—basically any area that you want to accentuate. It can even be applied to the high points of the face for a head-to-toe glow.
4. Fragrance Layering for a Luxe Touch
For a final touch that is sure to make a statement, finish your body care routine by spritzing on the Major Glow Hair and Body Fragrance Mist.
This irresistible floral fragrance has warm, spicy notes that are balanced by a subtle sweet undertone. Top notes of bergamot and orange are joined by middle notes of jasmine, tuberose, and warm sugar. A sensual blend of moss, amber, sandalwood, patchouli, and musk lingers all day long.
It’s an indulgent, effortlessly chic scent that is sweet enough for day and sultry enough for night. The decadent, delicious fragrance will turn heads without being overpowering.
Combining this hair and body mist with the oil and balm is a pro-level technique for a long-lasting fragrance. Spritz generously all over your hair and body to smell as good as you feel—all day long.
5. On-the-Go Glow
Be sure to maintain your radiance all day long! Reapply to Major Glow Balm as needed for a gorgeous glossy look. This keeps your skin looking and feeling its absolute best.
There’s so much talk around achieving a glistening makeup look, but we’re just as passionate about giving the body the same care and attention. A glow-enhancing body care routine is the ultimate way to take your beauty to the next level for head-turning, irresistibly stunning skin.
