Body butter is a type of skin moisturiser that is typically thicker and richer than lotions or creams. Body butters are designed to provide intense hydration and nourishment to the skin, making it especially useful for dry or rough areas such as elbows, knees, and heels.

Body butters are used primarily for moisturising and nourishing the skin. Its rich and thick consistency makes it particularly effective for addressing various skin care needs. Here are the main uses of body butter: Moisturising Dry Skin: Body butters provide deep hydration, making it ideal for people with very dry or flaky skin. It helps to soften and smoothen rough patches. Soothing Irritated Skin: The natural ingredients in body butter, such as shea butter, can soothe and calm irritated or inflamed skin, making it a good choice for sensitive skin types. Preventing and Treating Stretch Marks: Pregnant women and people experiencing rapid weight changes often use body butters to help prevent or reduce the appearance of stretch marks. The vitamins and fatty acids in the body moisturiser improve skin elasticity and repair. Maintaining Skin Elasticity: Regular use of body butters can help maintain skin's elasticity and firmness, which is beneficial for preventing sagging skin. Healing Cracked Heels and Elbows: Body butter is particularly effective for healing and softening extremely dry areas like cracked heels, elbows, and knees. Post-Shaving or Waxing: Applying a body moisturiser after shaving or waxing can help soothe the skin, reduce irritation, and prevent dryness. Enhancing Skin Appearance: With regular use, body butters can improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin, making it look healthier and more radiant. Protecting Against Environmental Damage: The thick layer of body butter acts as a barrier, protecting the skin from environmental factors such as cold weather, wind, and pollution.

Use daily as needed. Perfect immediately after a shower or bath; towel off and massage gently into the skin making sure not to over rub. Don’t forget to give your elbows, knees, and heels some extra love! To get the best results, body butter should be applied to clean, slightly damp skin. This helps lock in moisture and ensures that the skin absorbs the product effectively.

• Banksia Oil - An Australian native, used widely in traditional skin care preparations due to its rich Omega 9 content which is a known acne preventer as it helps to control sebum levels whilst nourishing and supporting new tissue growth. Omega 6 is also a key component which brightens, softens and provides antioxidant protection from free radicals.

When we think about skin concerns and conditions – fine lines, laxity, uneven tone, dry, itchy, bumpy skin we often relate them to the skin on our face. When we do this, we neglect the skin on our body which, unfortunately, is just as much if not more susceptible to these conditions.

Aside from being the largest organ of the body, our skin has six primary functions: Protection, Heat Regulation, Secretion, Excretion, Sensation and Absorption. That’s a whole lot of work for an organ that’s often exposed to an array of external elements and environment aggressors that, without any care, leave it extremely vulnerable to body skin conditions.

Often overlooked and filed in the “too hard” or “I don’t have time” basket, dry legs, bumpy arms, aging hands and backne are all common skin conditions specific to the body. The good news? Just as it does for your face, a personalised skincare routine can work wonders for the body with the right, simple, easy to follow routine! Restoring and replenishing the natural oils lost in your skin will have you on track to soft smooth skin from head to toe.

GINGER&ME’s Body Collection is made with love, harmoniously blending Mindfulness with the daily practice of self-love and a message of empowerment to be Happy, Grateful and Brave. This decadent and luxurious body range offers a variety of body care products such as Body Butters, Body Oil, Sugar Body Polish, Hand Cream and Lip Balm available in three signature fragrances, as well as Foot Peel.

The GINGER&ME Body Collection is formulated using body-specific, dedicated actives across all steps you’ll need to personalise a simple yet results-driven routine for soft, smooth, youthful skin. Choose one, two or all of the GINGER&ME steps to actively treat and prevent common body skin concerns.

Step 1 – Exfoliate: Before you slather on the body moisturiser, ensuring your routine assists the skin in shifting dry, dead skin cells is crucial in the prepping phase leaving skin silky smooth and ready to treat. The luxurious, decadent G&M Sugar Body Polish, massaged into damp skin before a shower or bath, leaves skin lusciously soft after rinsing thanks to its Kakadu Plum Oil, known for its rich essential fatty acid nature.

Step 2 – Hydrate: Replenishing and protecting skin against natural moisture loss and external aggression like the cold, wind and sun is key to maintaining smooth youthful skin. G&M makes this super easy with two body hydrating options: G&M Body Butter and Bath & Body Oil.

Want simple daily hydration? Reach for the Body Butter after a shower or as needed. This lightweight yet rich, creamy butter boasts superior water-binding properties and essential fatty acids with Banksia Oil and Kakadu Plum Oil.

Need a simple or added hydration boost? The Bath & Body Oil is your saviour. This multifunctional gem can be applied to damp skin straight out of the shower, added to a warm bath for a silky-smooth soak or mixed in with or applied over your G&M body moisturiser for that next level goodness.

Step 3 – Don’t Forget Your Hands: A key area for showing early signs of aging and skin stress, the ‘Hands are the new Face’ with regular washing, sanitising and sun exposure requiring specific treatment. The G&M Hand Cream boasts a non-greasy formula that contains key pigment busting ingredients to treat and ward off incoming age spots on the back of the hands as well as Vitamin C enriched Kakadu Plum to treat and restore dry, stressed hands.

Food for thought – and for the skin – next time you catch yourself thinking showing your body some extra TLC and self-care is too hard or takes too long! Healthy, soft, smooth and glowing skin on your body is just a few steps away with GINGER&ME Body Collection.
