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.
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.
