When It-girl Sofia Richie Grainge talks (or rather, posts), the world tends to listen. The soon-to-be mom and unofficial queen of the "clean aesthetic" has swiftly become one of the most sought after talents for her enviable style, complete with a slick "quiet luxury" bun [1] and natural makeup look [2]. But with regular details on her skin-care and makeup routine, we naturally wanted to know more about her body care regimen — particularly as warm weather, summer activities, and her due date approach.
"I love a good body care regimen," Richie Grainge tells PS. "[Applying] body oils and lotions immediately after the shower are a must for hydrated skin." Alluding to the way that the still-moist skin from the steam allow for maximal product absorption, she also takes steps to prepare her skin with some physical exfoliation. "I [also] love a good body scrub and always use body oil after showering."
In late March, she unveiled her campaign with the Brazilian-inspired beauty brand Sol De Janeiro for the launch of its Rio Radiance SPF 50 Sunscreen Collection [3], consisting of the Spray [4] ($36), Lotion [5] ($40), and, of course, Body Oil [6] ($38), all featuring sun protection. This partnership is ideal for Richie Grainge, who is a self-described "sun worshiper."
Her signature sun-kissed glow, by the way, is entirely natural. "I'm not a self-tanner, actually, [but] I love a sunbath," she says. "And I always use SPF. It's a must." Naturally, she is anticipating plenty of quality time under the rays this summer. "I am looking forward to family life this summer, by the pool and BBQing. I will, of course, be using the Sol Rio Radiance SPF all summer."
With almost a year of marriage to husband Elliot Grainge under her belt, the beauty announced her pregnancy in January. "I have always been a big believer in self-care," she says. (This is practically to be expected as she is a Virgo.) "My philosophy hasn't really changed, I am just taking good care of myself, and being kinder to my growing body."

Her regimen has changed somewhat. She shares that she has reached for Bumpology Bump Butter [7] (sold out) on repeat during her pregnancy, and that her skin has also been more oily than usual, and she now carries Tatcha Blotting Papers [8] ($14) in her purse. Her skin is also sensitive, which makes it product-dependent on whether she can tolerate fragrances, as fragrance in skin care [9] can be problematic for sensitive and dry skin types. However, she is "obsessed" with the fragrance of The Rio Radiance SPF, and we all know a few mothers-to-be with strong opinions on scents.
Richie Grainge also incorporates regular lymphatic drainage massage [10] into her body-care regimen. "I love lymphatic massages at Detox by Rebecca [11] and see her once per week. It has helped so much," she says of sessions with the celebrity massage therapist Rebecca Faria, who espouses the hands-only Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage technique. The modality is a celebrity-favorite for the way it simultaneously supports bodily detoxification via the lymphatic system, while also contouring and sculpting via the drainage of lymphatic fluid — perfect for the swimsuit-clad summer months ahead.
Aside from practices, a cornerstone of self-care relaxation, Richie Grainge intentionally lives a lifestyle that facilitates time to unplug and decompress. She is a major fan of staying in to do just that. "I live in lounge sets at home. Le Set [12] is a personal favorite at the moment," she says. "Comfy and cozy always."
