Feeling good about yourself also means taking care of your body. From cleansing to moisturising, here is a review of the right things to do!

During the day, a lot of dirt is deposited on the body and can clog the pores. This can lead to irritation. It is advisable to wash every day to get rid of sweat and dirt accumulated during the day (or while sleeping). This will keep your skin healthy and prevent body odour. At Horace, you can choose between several shower gel fragrances and also supergras soap bars. They have the advantage of cleansing your skin without drying it out, in addition to their gentle fragrances. We advise you to prefer showers to baths. Baths are not only not the best solution for the environment, but they also dry out the skin and can cause blood circulation problems. As for showers, take warm ones to maintain your skin's natural moisture. Once or twice a week, you can also use a cleanser to remove dead skin cells and give your skin a more radiant appearance.

Be gentle with your skin

In order not to damage your skin, it's best to dry your body with a clean towel after a shower. Go gently, without rubbing and instead dabbing your body. This is much more pleasant and effective.

A good dose of hydration on the body


Taking care of your skin means moisturising your body. Indeed, the skin of the body needs to be nourished to avoid being dry and looking like reptile scales. You can use a moisturising cream, delicately scented with eucalyptus.
