From face exfoliation to body exfoliation, the art of exfoliation is a satisfying process.
Whether it’s an everyday face exfoliation or a shower-time body exfoliation, it’s a key part of keeping our skin healthy and glowing.
Before we get into products to use for exfoliation, let’s take a look at what exfoliation actually is and why it’s so important for keeping our skin happy.
What is Exfoliation?
Exfoliation is a lot more than just giving your skin a good clean, it benefits your skin in the long run.
When you exfoliate, you’re getting rid of dead skin cells and making room for new ones. This process is what helps retain your skin’s radiant, youthful complexion, rather than it looking dull and damaged.
It’s important to be exfoliating both your body and your face on a regular basis. As a rule of thumb, you should be exfoliating your face around three times a week (less if you have dry or sensitive skin,) and your body two to three times a week (again, less if you have dry or sensitive skin.)
The benefits of exfoliating include:
- Improvement in skin tone, texture, and pigmentation.
- Help with reducing acne.
- Helps to remove tan when it’s time for it to come off.
How to Exfoliate Properly
When it comes to face exfoliation, it’s important to find a product that is gentle yet effective for a good exfoliation.
Our Witch Hazel Toner is a perfect example of this. Infused with Retinol, Witch Hazel, and Hyaluronic Acid, it refreshes, smoothes, and tones pores while giving a gentle exfoliation.
A product with slightly more exfoliation is our AHA Glycolic Glow & Hydrate Skin Tonic.
Infused with a blend of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) including Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and Lactic Acid, this product exfoliates the skin, effectively removing dead skin cells and leaving a fresh, radiant complexion.
For the ultimate exfoliation experience, our AHA Glycolic Skin Tonic & Bamboo Pads Bundle is a must-have.
Partnering our Glycolic Skin Tonic with our reusable Bamboo Pads, this bundle gives you the tools for gentle yet effective exfoliation.
Now, we’ve all been there. You’ve had your favourite fake tan on for a while and let’s be honest, it’s seen better days. This gives us the perfect chance to remove that tan while exfoliating our body!
The perfect combo for when it’s tan-removing time, our 5 Minute Magic Fake Tan Remover & Exfoliating Bath Glove Bundle combines our Tan Remover and Exfoliating Bath Glove to help remove every last bit of leftover tan, while giving the skin a deep exfoliation.
Don’t worry, we see some of you out there quickly googling “How to use exfoliating gloves”, we’ve got you.
Simply pop the glove onto your hand and apply the tan remover (or soap of your choice!) onto the glove.
Then gently rub your skin in circular motions, and watch as the glove works to get rid of dead skin cells to reveal glowing skin!
