Lets take care of our skin this month so it shines with health. Exfoliation done gently and regularly gives your skin a healthy glow and feels great. Hands feel amazing.

The gentle application of an exfoliating product enables the flaky old skin cells to be removed from the surface of the skin. This leaves the skin feeling fresh and looking brighter.

Dry, rough skin is unattractive and can build up,  resulting in irritating rashes and spots and flaky dry peeling. Cracked dry feet not only look uncomfortable and ugly but can also be painful as well

Applying your exfoliant product in circular movements, working from the feet towards the heart, will also help improve circulation of blood and lymph in the body.

Because you are increasing blood circulation, breaking down toxins and encouraging new skin cells to come through, our best advice is to drink lots of water which drains toxins and helps give those new skin cells a "drink from the inside”.

Natural Exfoliants

Natural exfoliants are made by combining ingredients that are derived from nature’s bounty.

Some can be made from fruits, nuts and grains. Other products that have a sugar or salt base and are combined with moisturising oils have the two-fold effect of removing the dead skin and providing moisture at the same time.

Benefits of Body Exfoliation

Dry Skin and Hands

When your skin is dry or dehydrated, the dead skin you can see and feel will benefit  hugely from exfoliation. Elbows, knees and legs are common dry areas. Hands lead a hard and busy life and cleaning them every day with an exfoliator will keep them in good condition.

Cracked and Rough Feet

An oil based exfoliator is best for rough skin on feet.  It allows the oils to get in with the salts to break up those really hard patches. It is also a luxurious treatment making your feet feel lighter and refreshed.

Tanning

Exfoliating dead skin cells from your body is essential for either natural sun tanning or before applying fake tan. By getting rid of dead skin cells the sun or fake tan product will be affecting the new skin cells, which will last longer and leave your tan looking more even. Make sure you moisturise and keep your skin protected safely when tanning.

General Health and Well Being

When you exfoliate your body, you are also improving blood circulation and the lymphatic system. Making you feel more alive, while also draining toxins and breaking down fatty tissue.

Ingrown Hairs

When waxing or shaving there is always a stubborn hair or two that can't pierce the skin to come out easily. Exfoliating the area will remove the skin over the hair and let it break through next time.

Benefits of Facial Exfoliation

It is very beneficial and safe to perform a gentle facial exfoliation regime regularly about twice a week or as needed.  Apply the exfoliant and work it into the skin in small circular motions. This movement will enable the dry, dead skin to loosen from the epidermis, so that fresh skin can be revealed. Pay particular attention to the T zone around the nose.  Remove the product by either rinsing off or removing with a soft moist cloth.
