Fresh towel, bar soap, and body lotion next to a running shower

From Shower to Soft: A 5-Minute After-Bath Routine

Cleanse kindly

Gentle cleanse → seal on damp skin → soft all day

Choose a soap that matches your goal—clarifying bars for back-of-shoulder breakouts; creamy bars for comfort. Pat skin, don’t rub; you want it slightly damp. Explore our Soaps.

Lock it in while skin is damp

Moisture is easiest to trap right after the shower. Apply lotion in long strokes toward the heart—arms, legs, then torso. If your skin is extra dry, add a drop of body oil over lotion on elbows and shins.


Apply within two minutes of toweling for best results.

Give feet and hands a moment

A pea of richer cream massaged into heels and cuticles pays off fast. Slip on lightweight socks to help products penetrate while you get dressed.

Small step, big comfort — heels and cuticles love richer cream.
