After a day in the sun, skin needs three things: gentle cleansing, hydration and barrier support. A quick moisturise is not enough. The Derma body routine delivers all three — The Body Wash cleanses without stripping, and The Body Cream follows with lasting hydration and comfort. Together they cleanse, hydrate and soothe sensitive summer skin without stripping or overwhelming it.
Long days outdoors, travel, swimming and heat can all leave skin feeling dry, tight and uncomfortable. That is when a gentle, barrier-supporting body routine becomes essential. The routine starts in the shower with The Body Wash and finishes with The Body Cream.
Step One: Cleanse Without Stripping
Your body wash is just as important as your body cream, especially after sun exposure. Sun, SPF, sweat, chlorine, sea water and heat all leave residue on the skin. A harsh cleanser can make dry or sensitive skin feel even tighter.
The Body Wash is a pH-balanced, dermatologist-approved body wash created for sensitive body skin. Powered by mild plant-based cleansing agents, glycerin, oat kernel extract and gotu kola, it gently cleanses while helping skin feel soft, hydrated and comfortable.
It is now available in a handy 200ml tube, so it is easy to bring on holiday, keep in your gym bag or pack for weekends away.
Step Two: Comfort and Hydrate
After cleansing, follow with The Body Cream to restore comfort to dry, sun-exposed skin. The Body Cream is 99% natural, fragrance-free, dermatologist-approved and clinically tested on sensitive skin. It is powered by squalane, shea butter, oat kernel extract, gotu kola, glycerin, panthenol, niacinamide, vitamin E, avocado oil and rosehip oil.
The rich yet non-greasy texture absorbs beautifully. It helps soften rough texture, support the skin barrier and soothe dry, uncomfortable skin. It provides 24-hour hydration with a single application — the perfect final step after showering, swimming or time in the sun.
Why the Routine Works After Sun
Sun-exposed skin needs gentle cleansing, hydration and barrier support. The Body Wash removes the day without stripping the skin. The Body Cream follows with lasting hydration and comfort. Together they create a simple body care routine for skin that feels dry, sensitive or reactive after summer days.
This is the same barrier-first thinking we bring to the face. If you are not sure whether your skin is dry or simply lacking water, read our guide to dry vs dehydrated skin. To understand why barrier care matters most when skin is reactive, see how to support and repair your skin barrier.
