A true institution in the Maghreb, exfoliation with a loofah glove is part of weekly habits.
The glove is in crepe, so to the touch and with a rough appearance, it is the one you will find in your BIO BelleauNaturel box this month. It is he who will help exfoliate, eliminate dead skin and illuminate the skin. When we talk about exfoliation, know that it is a level above traditional body exfoliation, sensitive skin will have to be careful when using it. Attention for your face prefer the softer organic Kiwi and Grape exfoliator!
The soap is for me essential in the preparation phase. The traditional black soap used will act on your skin and make it "dry" once rinsed, which will make exfoliation much easier. You can of course do your exfoliation without, but the soap increases the action of the exfoliation tenfold.
The loofah glove exfoliation process:
My first tip is to heat up your bathroom as much as possible before taking your shower. You will have a hamam effect at home and this will make it easier to exfoliate, because if it's too cold it's not very practical! For my part it is heating for 20 minutes before and I keep it for to maintain the effect. Once your conditioner is on, tie your hair up high to prevent dead skin from sticking to it. Above all, do not put on shower gel before your exfoliation! Now it's the black soap step, in the palm of your hand take a small amount and apply it all over your body. Leave on for one to two minutes and rinse with warm water.
It's time to grab your loofah mitt and start scrubbing in circular motions. Rub in places like the top of the shoulders, arms or chest to start to "come out" your dead skin, these are usually the places where it comes out easily. Once you see a kind of grayish "little streamers" appearing, you have found the right technique. Rub your whole body in this way and if it's the first time, don't be surprised at the impressive amount of dead skin that will come out. Insist on the armpits, under the chest and between the thighs, these are the most "dirty" places and do not hesitate to ask someone for help for the back. Wash your glove in hot water as you go to maintain its effectiveness. When you think the job is done, wash with hot water, it will tingle but don't worry it's normal.
Enjoy the softness of your skin like never before, I can guarantee you will feel clean like never before! Liberate your skin will more easily absorb organic carrot oil and all these virtues to keep your complexion tanned until the fall. This technique also helps to get rid of ingrown hairs, and tones in the long term. Personally when I don't have time to do it, I feel "cramped" in my skin, and I can assure you that it becomes addictive. So who will try and take the plunge? And who is a fan of oriental scrubs like me?
See you soon,
