Envelop your skin in Nourishing Body Cream, a deeply hydrating body lotion to transform dry, dehydrated skin. Medik8’s signature Moisture Magnets™ and natural glycerin keep water locked in tight for all-day comfort and hydration. Meanwhile natural cocoa butter lavishes skin with emollients to keep skin soft and supple. The sumptuous formula helps to improve skin tone and elasticity, smoothing dry, rough patches while restoring the skin’s natural protective barrier. Fast-absorbing and non-greasy, this rich body moisturiser is perfect for use post-shower to keep skin soft and silky. It can also be used to help soothe sunburn, calm irritation and pacify itchiness. Nourishing Body Cream™ has been formulated to work perfectly with your favourite Medik8 serums so that you can tailor your bodycare regime. Simply mix a few drops of serum into the cream before applying to your skin for a deeply moisturising and targeted body treatment. Key Benefits With the hydration of a rich lotion but the absorption of a light cream, Nourishing Body Cream™ is a perfect daily moisturiser. When applied after a bath or shower, the uplifting, clean scent doesn’t overpower fragrances applied afterwards. With a cocoa butter base alongside Medik8 signature Moisture Magnets™, the rich lotion provides the ultimate hydrating experience. Skin is left silky and soft, without any greasy residue, allowing you to put clothes on almost immediately.

Glycerin
What It Is

Glycerin works as a humectant, it attracts moisture from the air into the stratum corneum (top layer of skin), and due to its low molecular weight, will continue to draw moisture to the deeper layers of the dermis.

Glycerin also treats several skin disorders, ranging from dry skin to wound healing. The ingredient has the potential of improving your overall internal health as well.

Due to its versatility and ability to moisturise, it’s used in everything from lotions to soaps to toners.

What It Does

How to use in your skincare routine?

Products with glycerin can be used topically multiple times a day. You can safely and effectively use this ingredient in nearly every single step of your skin care routine. Several skin care brands use glycerin when formulating everything from cleansers and toners, to serums and moisturisers.

Benefits
  • Glycerin tightens and firms - Use this ingredient for a few weeks or even a few days and we think you'll find that it plumps and softens your look significantly, especially if you have more mature skin.
  • It improves your complexion - Glycerin is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores.
  • It brightens - Between glycerin’s rejuvenating properties and its ability to moisturise, glycerin plays a key role in keeping skin looking bright and luminous.
  • The ingredient is also a good choice for sensitive skin. Because it’s a natural component of skin, it calms redness and inflammation. It’s one of the gentler ingredients you can find in skin care products and can even help alleviate sensitivity over time.
AHAs / BHAs / PHAs
What It Is

The world of acids can be divided into a few categories, three to be precise: Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) and the underdog, Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs). If you're using a skincare acid, it'll fall into one of these three categories.

AHAs

These may ring some bells as you're bound to find an AHA already hiding in your skincare routine. AHAs are chemical exfoliators that can be extremely helpful for oily or blemish-prone skin if used on a regular basis.
The top dogs in this category are Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid. You can find them mixed in with serums, moisturisers, cleansers and toners, depending on how high of a dosage you want to use (the smaller the percentage, the less potent the formula).

BHAs

Whilst they are also chemical exfoliators, AHAs and BHAs treat different skin problems.
AHAs are ideal for those concerned with ageing skin, whereas BHAs are best for those who are one the oilier side of the skincare spectrum and struggle with acne, blackheads and milia (the little white bumps you sometimes see under the skin).
Whilst AHAs are only water soluble, BHAs are oil soluble, which is why they are ideal for those struggling with an oil-slick T-zone. They can get below the oil that’s clogging up your skin and also have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. So they help spots disappear quicker and calm any redness.
The most popular BHA is Salicylic Acid. It can be found in a range of different formulas targeted at spot treatments.

PHAs

The underdog of the acid trilogy, PHAs don't get the praise they deserve.

"PHAs (AKA Polyhydroxy Acids) are very similar to traditional alpha hydroxy acids, because both work by breaking down the 'glue' that binds dull, dead cells to the surface of the skin." Daniel Isaacs, Scientific Director at Medik8

They're especially beneficial for those who find other acids too strong. 'Even very sensitive skin types can harness the resurfacing powers of PHAs,' says Daniel. 'In clinical studies, they have been proven to be compatible with dry, itchy skin conditions such as eczema and atopic rosacea.'
The most common PHA acids are Gluconolactone, Galactose and Lactobionic - bit of a mouthful to say but well worth looking out for the next time you’re in the market for a new chemical exfoliant.
