Body Luv Self Care

An eczema tip worth knowing: "fragrance-free" and "unscented" are not the same thing.

Fragrance-free means no fragrance was added.

Unscented means the product has no noticeable smell, but it can still contain fragrance used to cover up other scents.

If you live with eczema or sensitive skin, look for the words "fragrance-free," then check the ingredient list to be sure. A little label reading goes a long way. 💜

🥭 **What are mango butter and jojoba oil, and what do they do for your skin?**

When you know what an ingredient is, you stop buying on hope. In this week's Seasonal Skin School lesson, we cover:
✔️ Where mango butter comes from (hint: not the fruit)
✔️ Why jojoba oil is actually a liquid wax
✔️ Why the two work so well together
✔️ How to get the most out of them this fall

Our **Selah & Surrender** body butters are made with shea butter, mango butter, and jojoba oil. Now you'll know exactly what's working inside the jar. 💜

Eczema: myth or fact?

MYTH: Eczema comes from not washing enough.

October is Eczema Awareness Month 💜

If you or someone you love lives with eczema, you know the little things matter. Here is a gentle routine that is kind to eczema-prone skin in any season:

1. Keep showers short and lukewarm
2. Choose fragrance-free
3. Pat dry, don't rub
4. Moisturize within 3 minutes
5. Wear soft, breathable layers

Small, gentle habits add up. Save this for later and share it with someone who needs it.

These are everyday comfort tips, not medical advice. If your skin is struggling, please talk with your dermatologist.

Happy Selfcare Sunday!

This week's reminder: not everything needs your urgency.

Some things can wait. Some aren't yours to carry. Taking care of yourself means deciding what really deserves your energy.

Here's a little prep for the week ahead:
1. Pick three things that truly matter this week.
2. Name one thing that can wait, and let it.
3. Pause before you say yes. "Let me get back to you" is enough.
4. Save 15 quiet minutes a day just for you.
5. Set out your self-care tonight so your morning starts slow.

Self-care isn't selfish, it's stewardship.

What's one thing you're letting wait this week?

✨ Body oil doesn't add water to your skin. It helps hold onto it.

For the best results, apply body oil to slightly damp skin right after bathing. On completely dry skin, it may feel like it's just sitting on top.

In Your Words 🌿

A quick question about scent today, and there's no wrong answer. Share yours in the comments.

Is your lotion still keeping up?

Lotion is light, quick to absorb, and great for everyday care. If it still keeps your skin comfortable all day, keep using it.

But if you're reapplying by lunchtime, your skin may want something richer.

✔️ What makes lotion light and quick to absorb

Hello, October 🍂

"His mercies are new every morning." (inspired by Lamentations 3:22–23)

October brings crisp air, golden light, and mornings that feel like a fresh breath. Just like the season, we're reminded that every day offers a new beginning. Yesterday's stress, unfinished to-do lists, and skipped routines don't define today.

This month, we hope you'll meet yourself with grace. Start again as many times as you need. Take a few quiet minutes each morning for you, whether that's a warm shower, a little extra moisture for your skin, or simply a deep breath before the day begins. You don't have to have it all together to be worthy of care.

Welcome to October from all of us at Body Love. 🤍
