Taking care of your body

While taking care of our face with scrubs, masks and moisturizers has become a ritual for many of us, we have to admit that the body is often one of those forgotten beauty routines. For lack of time or suitable products - or because it's hidden under a layer of clothing - we don't always take the time to pamper it. Wrongly so, because like the face, it needsmoisturizing and special attention to preserve its softness.

Simply because the skin on the body is fragile, just like the skin on the face. It's true that facial skin is very thin and is constantly exposed to external elements (sun, wind, cold, air conditioning...) which can dehydrate it and cause premature aging. But the skin of the body is also subject to daily aggressions: rubbing from clothes and shoes, hard water or water that's too hot in the shower, which dries out the epidermis, detergents that damage the skin... The body is not spared and all these elements can result in dry or dehydrated skin, which can be uncomfortable or tend to peel, chapped hands or calloused knees.

Remember to use targeted cosmetics (soap, cleansing gel, moisturizing creams...) to keep your skin comfortable all year round. And with Polaar products, with their pleasant textures and fragrances, taking care of your body is a truly relaxing, cocooning experience!

Shower and bath water can dry out the skin. To counterbalance this drying effect, you can act at the base, by opting for a water softener, and choose asurgras soap , like our Soap The Genuine Lapland Cream. Conventional shower gels and soaps tend to alter the hydrolipidic film, often leaving skin feeling tight. On the contrary, Extra Rich Soap gently cleanses and nourishes the skin in a single step. Our soap is enriched with nourishing agents (Arctic Berries, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil and Glycerin) and cleanses all skin types, even the driest and most sensitive, such as children's skin. It prevents roughness and tightness for 24 hours, for unrivalled comfort. Formulated without alcohol, mineral oils, parabens, phenoxyethanol or water, it's good for your skin and good for the planet.

If you're into bathing, make sure you don't use water that's too hot, and don't stay in the tub for too long. A ten- or fifteen-minute bath every now and then is fine, but a 30-minute session or more every day is definitely not recommended to keep your skin soft and beautiful.

In all cases, remember to dry your skin thoroughly, right down to the creases, after each wash.

Give your body a good dose of hydration morning and night with our moisturizers. The Moisturizing Body Milk The Genuine Lapland Creamwith its rich, creamy texture, pampers the epidermis and penetrates quickly without leaving a greasy film. Its counterpart, the Moisturizing Body Milk NUIT POLAIRE provides a revitalizing and anti-aging effect, thanks to the presence ofBoreal Algae. It guarantees perfectly moisturized skin for 24 hours.

Some areas of the body, such as the hands, elbows or feet, take a bit more of a beating every day, and need more intensive care that can both protect and repair them. This is where our hand creams and our Face and Sensitive Areas Cream really come into their own! Its creamy texture envelops the skin for deep nourishment. Formulated with Arctic Berries, it is particularly effective in repairing damaged skin, whether it's chapped, flaking or suffering from eczema. This velvety-finish 2-in-1 product is equally effective on face and body, and is perfect for the whole family! It's also an excellent after-sun care product, soothing overheated skin after exposure to the sun.

And because prevention is better than cure, we also offer a whole range of SPF30 and SPF50+ suncare products, to protect your skin and enjoy the sun in complete safety.

It's impossible to talk about body care without talking about hand creams. Hands are in a class of their own: highly exposed to external aggression, they are constantly subjected to weather conditions that are not always favorable: cold and wind make them dry, UV rays and the passage of time can cause brown spots, household products and hydro-alcoholic gel tend to damage them...

This is a good reason to protect them as much as possible, for example by wearing gloves as often as necessary and giving them a good dose of moisturizing, morning and evening, but also during the day, after each wash. And to make this gesture as useful as it is pleasant, think of our Hand Cream The Genuine Lapland Cream which protects, nourishes and repairs in a single step. Inspired by the beauty secrets of Lappish women, it penetrates the skin without any greasy or sticky effect, for visibly more beautiful hands.
