Body Serum, Hand Cream & Scrub: Build Your Body Care Routine
A body-care routine can be simple: choose products for the areas you want to care for, understand how each is used, and make room for a few unhurried moments. A body serum, hand cream and scrub have different roles, so choosing between them starts with what you want from your routine.
Body serum: your everyday body-care step
A body serum is applied over the body as a leave-on product. When comparing options, look at the texture, ingredients, fragrance and directions rather than relying on the word “serum” alone.
NEA's Sandalwood Botanical Body Serum has a lightweight texture and contains jojoba and rosehip oils. Its directions suggest smoothing it over the body after a shower or bath and taking a moment to massage it in. It is a straightforward choice if you enjoy a body-care step after washing.
Hand cream: care where you need it
Hand cream is a separate step for the hands, rather than a replacement for your entire body routine. Consider whether you prefer a richer texture and where you will keep it: next to the sink, at your desk or in a bag.
NEA's Sandalwood Nourishing Hand Cream contains cocoa butter, sunflower seed oil and Sodium PCA. The product directions recommend massaging it into clean hands, paying attention to dry areas and cuticles.
Scrub: a rinse-off step
A scrub is used differently from a serum or cream: it is massaged onto the skin and rinsed away. It should not be treated as a leave-on moisturiser.
The Icelandic Volcanic Face & Body Scrub has a creamy texture with volcanic sand. Its directions recommend gentle circular movements on dry or damp skin, followed by a thorough rinse. Follow the product's own instructions for your routine.
A simple way to choose
- For a body-care step after washing: explore the body serum.
- For focused hand care: compare the hand cream's ingredients and texture.
- For a rinse-off polishing step: read the scrub's directions.
You do not need to buy every product to start. Choose the step you are most likely to enjoy and use. Check the ingredient list and fragrance information, particularly if you already know certain ingredients do not suit you.
Before you order
Review the product size, directions, delivery information and returns details. If an ingredient list or another detail you need is missing, ask NEA before purchasing.
