The “dolphin skin” trend began as a makeup finish—smooth, hydrated, and light-reflective. Now, it’s evolved beyond the face. Think soft, even skin that looks freshly moisturized and naturally glowy from head to toe. It also aligns with the rise of the “dolphin girl” aesthetic—minimal, clean, moisture-focused, and ocean-inspired.

At Saltair, we treat body care like skincare. That means using the right products in the right order to support skin that feels healthy, balanced, and visibly smooth. Here's how to build a step-by-step dolphin-skin body care routine to help skin stay hydrated, even in tone, and naturally radiant.

Step 1: Exfoliate with a KP Body Scrub

Smooth, even skin starts with regular exfoliation. It helps remove buildup, soften dry areas, and allows hydration to absorb more effectively.

Saltair’s KP Body Scrub available in 5% or 10% glycolic acid combines chemical exfoliation with physical polishing agents like volcanic sand, pumice, and microcrystalline cellulose. Glycolic acid helps loosen dead skin cells, while the physical exfoliants buff away rough texture. A blend of kukui, coconut, and macadamia oils provides lightweight moisture during use.

Use 1–2 times a week on damp skin, especially on areas like the backs of arms, thighs, and shoulders.

Step 2: Hydrate with a Hyaluronic Acid Body Serum

Saltair’s HA Body Hydrator is designed to be your first hydrating step after showering. This sheer, fast-absorbing hyaluronic acid body serum helps draw moisture into the skin and helps prep skin for lotions, creams, or oils. You can use it alone as a lightweight hydrator or follow with a body lotion, cream, or oil to help seal everything in.

Formulated with sodium hyaluronate and red algae, the serum delivers both immediate and lasting hydration. A phyto-collagen complex helps support elasticity, while magnesium chloride works to reinforce the skin barrier.

Apply to damp skin after towel drying to maximize absorption and boost the effectiveness of any moisturizer that follows.

Step 3: Moisturize with Body Oil or Body Butter

After hydration, apply a moisture-rich formula to help seal it in and support the skin barrier. Choose what fits your skin’s needs:

• Saltair Body Oil is lightweight and quick to absorb, offering soft moisture and a subtle sheen without heaviness. It’s ideal for layering on damp skin and works well in warmer weather or as a finishing step before heading out.
• Saltair Multi-Lipid Body Butter offers deeper moisture. It contains nourishing ingredients like sea buckthorn oil, ceramides, and a blend of lipids to help replenish dry or depleted skin.

Both options work well over a hyaluronic acid body serum and help maintain that soft, hydrated look and feel.

Step 4: Protect and Finish with Sunscreen Body Oil SPF 50

To complete the routine, finish with Saltair’s Sunscreen Body Oil SPF 50 PA++++, which provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection and finishes with a soft, natural-looking sheen.

The formula includes mongongo and kukui oils for lightweight moisture, plus vitamin C to help support the skin’s appearance. A film-forming polymer ensures even coverage without heaviness or stickiness.

Use the Sunscreen Body Oil as the final step in your body routine, especially on areas like the arms, chest, and legs when you want both sun protection and a smooth finish.

• Apply products to damp skin to help improve absorption.
• Be consistent to support smoother, more resilient skin over time.
