Saving on Skincare and Body Care: The Body Shop, Rituals and Eyewa
Skincare and body care costs add up quietly, because products run out and get replaced every few weeks. The best savings come from a simple routine, a clear understanding of what each product does, and a little care when you use a code. This guide helps you build all three.
A routine does not need ten steps
For most people, three or four products are enough.
- Cleanser: a gentle one, used morning and evening.
- Moisturiser: choose a lighter texture for hot weather and a richer one for air-conditioned rooms.
- Sunscreen: the most useful product in the Gulf, applied every morning.
- Body lotion or butter: after showering, while skin is slightly damp.
Add a serum or a treatment only if you have a specific concern, and introduce one product at a time so you can tell what helps or irritates.
Know your skin and read the label
- Dry skin: look for glycerin and ceramides.
- Oily skin: choose light, non-comedogenic formulas.
- Sensitive skin: avoid heavy fragrance and test a small patch first.
An expensive product is not better by price alone. Check ingredients, the size of the container and the price per millilitre.
Stores and codes
The Body Shop sells skin and body care. Code AB89 gives 10% off, valid for West KSA and the UAE. If you live elsewhere in Saudi Arabia, check whether the code applies before adding items.
Rituals offers body care, home fragrance and gift sets. Code A67 gives 10% off full-price items only, and is listed for Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Because it excludes marked-down items, check the price tag before relying on it.
Eyewa is useful for the sun-protection side of your routine, such as sunglasses. Code GO93 gives 10% off, for Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
| Store | Code | Terms |

| The Body Shop | AB89 | 10% off (West KSA and UAE) |
| Rituals | A67 | 10% off full-price items only |
| Eyewa | GO93 | 10% off |
Practical ways to spend less
- Buy one new product at a time. It is easier to see results and avoids waste.
- Finish what you have. Use up half-empty bottles before opening new ones.
- Choose the larger size for products you use daily, if the price per millilitre is lower and the shelf life allows it.
- Check expiry symbols. The open-jar icon shows how many months a product lasts after opening.
- Refill when possible and recycle containers according to local guidance.
Fragrance in body care
Many body care products are scented. If you are sensitive or you wear a separate perfume, choose unscented or lightly scented lotions so the scents do not clash. For those who pray, remember that ablution requires water to reach the skin, so allow time for creams to absorb before wudu or use them after.
Hot-weather tips
- Use a lightweight lotion and keep it in the shade, not in a hot car.
- Wear sunscreen even on cloudy days and reapply after sweating.
- Wear sunglasses with UV protection to protect the delicate skin around the eyes.
- Drink water, since skin care cannot replace hydration.
When a code is worth it
Use a code on products you already use and trust. It is poor value to buy a new product only because it is discounted, since an unused jar saves nothing. Compare the final basket, including delivery, with another store before paying.
Build the routine in stages
Start with the basics for a month. Then add one item if you still feel a need, and judge it for a few weeks before adding another. This avoids the common trap of owning a shelf of half-used products and gives you a clear picture of what works for your skin.
Note: codes, discounts and terms can change at any time. Please check the terms at checkout before you pay. We are not the official store of these brands.
