Exfoliation is the first step in beauty care that you should treat your body to. Freed from dead skin cells, it is ready for subsequent care. But do you know how often you should use a body scrub?
How often should you use a body scrub?
Your skin cells renew themselves every 28 days. In addition, new cells are created every day in the deep layers of the skin and migrate to the surface, where they die and are removed by the natural phenomenon of exfoliation. With age, this regeneration process slows down a bit. Using a body scrub allows you to rid your skin of dead cells. These gentle creams, used once or twice a week, restore radiance to your skin.
Why should I use an exfoliant?
When cell renewal slows, dead skin cells build up on the skin’s surface. The skin loses its softness and becomes sallow and rough. When used regularly, a peeling cream helps to remove dead skin cells and promotes cell renewal. These scrubs are also the ideal ally for women removing their body hair. The exfoliating effect avoids ingrown hairs under the skin. In addition, a tan is more durable if exfoliation is performed before sunbathing.
A body scrub is the first step before applying other care products, especially figure care products. The skin, freed from dead skin cells, is more receptive and absorbs the care applied afterwards better.
How often should you exfoliate?
We all remember our first scrub purchase, those little plastic jars from the drugstore filled with pink or purple, deliciously scented, oily salts to soften your hands or feet. We also remind ourselves that they eventually mix with the abundance of products in the bath and that we don’t think about them again until the product’s oils have already gone bad.
That’s why finding an exfoliation routine that suits your lifestyle, and your skin is the only way to healthier, brighter skin.
But what is a scrub?
Exfoliation is the massaging of the body with a body scrub, body cleanser, or chemical treatment to remove dead skin and debris and refresh the skin. That doesn’t mean that the occasional exfoliation treatment isn’t healthy for your skin and complexion. But it does mean that the best results are achieved when a plan and routine are implemented.
So how do you know where to start? What are the different types of scrubs? What should you use for your scrub? And how often should you exfoliate? In this post, we’ll answer these questions head-on, so you can feel confident as you put together your dream Skincare exfoliation routine.
