Exfoliation is one of the beauty rituals essential to have clear and luminous skin. It often follows the cleaning of your face and precedes the application of a mask. The principle ? Rid the skin of your face (or your body) of all the impurities accumulated throughout the day (pollution, dead skin, excess sebum, etc.) to “erase” skin imperfections. We commonly speak of "scrub" while there are a plethora of exfoliating treatments:
This is the classic scrub – or scrub – made with natural or synthetic grains that will “erase” the skin by rubbing. The size of the grains affects the intensity of the scrub:in general, a mechanical scrub is preferred with fine, gentle grains for the face, and a mechanical scrub with large grains (sugar, salt) to exfoliate the body.
We can speak here of peeling since it is a treatment with chemical action. Chemical compounds will attack the dead cells and eliminate them – to peel in English –. No small balls therefore, but rather exfoliating agents which are none other than enzymes from fruits. The enzymatic scrub often comes in the form of a mask to dissolve and eliminate impurities when rinsing.
This treatment is developing more and more and is inspired by professional methods practiced in dermatology. Here, it is the acidic agents rather than the enzymes that allow the elimination of dead skin cells. Be careful, however, to choose the right acidic agent according to your skin type!
If you're in a hurry and you risk skipping the exfoliation step, opt for the 2 in 1 with an exfoliating mask . In this case, it is the active ingredient (other than an acid or a fruit enzyme) that will act to rebalance the skin of your face.
Each skin type has its own scrub. The goal is not to strip your skin, but rather to help it flourish to give you a radiant complexion! If you're wondering which face or body scrub you need, you've come to the right place!
Mechanical exfoliation is suitable for all skin types, but it is best to avoid it if you have sensitive skin (because of the friction which could irritate it) or oily (to avoid stimulating the production of sebum). In any case, favor an exfoliation with fine grains, for example with the PROPOLIA dream grain face scrub whose small beads are suitable even for sensitive skin that it does not attack!
The option of the purifying exfoliating mask is quite suitable. Thanks to the purifying action of rhassoul, the O'NATUR bearberry purifying exfoliating mask helps, for example, to unclog pores and absorb excess sebum.
The ideal is to choose a scrub with chemical action, either enzymatic or acidic. Thanks to their ultra-fine grain-free texture, the peels illuminate your complexion while respecting your skin and without attacking it. 2 in 1, DENOVO Enzymatic Radiance Exfoliant smoothes the skin texture and reveals the radiance of the complexion.
We recommend a scrub with fruit acids (Alpha Hydroxy Acid or AHA), perfect when looking for an "anti-aging" action (age spots, loss of elasticity, wrinkles). The MADARA organic AHA radiance peeling mask is a must have!
For enzymatic or acid scrubs, however, be sure to get advice from a beauty professional or test the treatment on a small area of your skin beforehand, because the action is chemical, everything will depend on the personal sensitivity of your skin. !
So, ready to wipe the slate clean of dead skin and impurities by going through the exfoliation box? Scrub, peeling, exfoliating mask , it's up to you to choose the best ally!
You don't have the right cosmetic products in your bathroom to make a body or face scrub? Luckily, you can do a deep cleanse and regain a healthy glow with homemade recipes.
Using coarse salt (or sugar for more sensitive skin), with a few tablespoons of vegetable oil , it is possible to quickly concoct an exfoliant. All you have to do is mix the ingredients and apply the resulting scrub in circular motions on your body. The coffee grounds is also an ingredient of choice for making your own exfoliants, thanks to its toning and circulatory action.
For the skin of the face, finer and more sensitive than that of the body, it is necessary to favor a non-aggressive solution, which causes light friction. For example, mix fine sugar with honey, and apply it gently with your fingertips on the T-zone and on the cheeks.
For a gentler deep clean, you can also opt for lemon juice . Applied to the face using a cotton ball (taking care to avoid the eye area) and left on for a few minutes before rinsing with clean water, it will help eliminate dead cells and give a fresh complexion.
Despite all the benefits of scrubs, we must not neglect the additional care to be provided. Indeed, the hydrolipidic film of the skin can be a little attacked after an exfoliation, and it must be restored by moisturizing the skin.
For this, you can count on your moisturizing creams favorites, or better:make a mask . By adopting this beauty routine, you give your skin everything it needs, ridding it of dead skin, promoting cell regeneration, protecting it from external aggressions and deeply moisturizing it.
Another tip:do not renew your scrub or exfoliator too often and do it only once in a while. Otherwise, you risk upsetting the skin's natural balance and making it even more sensitive. Depending on your skin type and the products used, the ideal is to exfoliate the skin between 1/2 times a week and 2/3 times a month .
