Exfoliating facial scrub

If your skin is drier in the winter months, or you want that summer glow, exfoliating is ideal for removing the layers of dead skin cells. However, it’s important to exfoliate the right way.

USE A FACIAL SCRUB

Our body constantly sheds dead skin cells, so, the top layer of skin you’re looking at now will be gone in a month’s time. Pretty strange, right? These dead skin cells build up and can make skin look dull and flaky. Adding an exfoliator to your weekly skin care routine removes these dead skin cells leaving skin looking more radiant and brighter. There are different types of exfoliators including chemical or a granular scrub with micro beads which buffs the skin’s surface.

ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF EXFOLIATING

Skin polishing

The small beads in a face scrub buff away any dead skin cells on the surface, allowing moisturisers to properly sink in, instead of just sitting on the skin’s surface.

Reduces blemishes

In the long run, the regular removal of dead surface skin cells also helps to prevent the formation of clogged pores thereby reducing and preventing blemishes. It’s important to find the best exfoliating product to suit your needs from the variety of face scrubs on the market.

Stimulate blood circulation

Take the time to exfoliate on a regular basis – it will stimulate blood circulation which contributes towards a healthy glow.

Finding the best exfoliating product for you depends on your skin type, age, skincare habits and overall lifestyle. Make sure to use your face scrub regularly to get the optimum benefits. If you have sensitive skin, use exfoliators cautiously.

EXFOLIATE RIGHT

Exfoliate once or twice per week.
Apply the scrub to face and neck on wet skin, distribute evenly, working your way from forehead to temples. Do not rub too harshly, as this may damage the skin, especially if it’s sensitive.
Gently rub, moving in small circles. Avoid the eye and mouth area which are sensitive. Do not overdo it - exfoliating too often may upset the skin’s natural oil balance leaving it dehydrated.
Thoroughly wash face scrub off using warm water.
Make sure to always moisturise your skin carefully after using your face scrub.
