body care

Skin and hygiene

Body care refers to the routine maintenance and grooming of one's physical self, encompassing practices like bathing, moisturizing, and skin treatment.

The term often appears in retail contexts to categorize products such as lotions, scrubs, soaps, and deodorants: The body care aisle has everything from shower gel to foot cream.

Body care overlaps with but is distinct from skincare, which typically focuses on the face, and personal hygiene, which emphasizes cleanliness over pampering.
