When it comes to body positivity, there’s no one-size-fits-all routine that serves everyone. We all have different (so-called) ‘flaws’ and ‘imperfections’ that we’d sooner change about ourselves.
At least, that’s how we used to feel!
We’re doing away with toxic opinions, shattering the stigma around skin conditions and body hang-ups that do nothing but decrease our self-worth. This August, it’s all about celebrating and supporting our skin from top-to-toe – and we mean all shapes, sizes, flaws – EVERYTHING!
But naturally, our bodycare rituals have become a staple part in our routine, and why should a (necessary) wave of skin positivity ruin the regime we know, love and look forward to on the regular? So, without further ado, these are our favourite body positivity essentials to enhance (NOT change) your skin’s natural beauty.
Frank Body Original Coffee Body Scrub
Texture is a part of all of us, and we’re okay with that! But for the times when your skin needs an even platform (see – self-tan application)… talk to Frank Body. An invigorating blend of coffee grounds and skin-loving oils help to buff away dead skin cells while delivering a quick surge of hydration.
