Smooth & Supple: Exfoliating Guide

Have you ever noticed your skin feeling dry and flaky after showering? This is caused by a build up of dead skin. By exfoliating you can rid your body of this excess and it will leave your skin smooth and supple. 

 

Benefits of Exfoliating

Removes excess dead skin on your body

Improves texture and evens out skin tone 

Helps circulate the blood flow reducing the appearance of stretch marks & cellulite 

Reduces ingrown hairs that come from shaving or waxing 

 

When To Exfoliate

The best time to exfoliate is either before or during a shower. If you choose to exfoliate before a shower use a dry brush, or if you exfoliate during the shower use a loofah with a gentle, moisturizing body wash. Both options are very beneficial for your body. By exfoliating 2-3 times a week, you'll notice a nice improvement in your skin. 

 

How To Exfoliate

Start at the bottom of your body and work your way up, going against your hair growth, using circular motions. 

After exfoliating apply a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
