Body care has come a long way from fruity shower gels, with active ingredients now common in our creams and lotions. But we’re not about to set you off on a seven-step daily ritual. ‘Taking care of your skin from the neck down is just as important as it is for the face, but it doesn’t have to be as complicated,’ says Paula Begoun, founder of Paula’s Choice. A few simple steps will change the way your body looks – and how you feel about it.
