The secrets for perfect face and body exfoliation
Face and Body Exfoliation is an essential component of your beauty routine if you want to keep your skin soft and glowing. This treatment provides immediate benefits, acting deeply to unclog pores, reduce fine wrinkles and restore a soft, fresh appearance to the complexion.

However, the high frequency with which this practice is sometimes repeated can cause problems if not done with caution. It is therefore essential to follow specific guidelines indicated by experts to obtain optimal results and preserve skin health.

What is exfoliation
Exfoliation removes the outer layer of the epidermis, including dead cells, residual makeup, sebum and environmental contaminants.
It is an essential treatment to counteract the age-related slowdown in cell turnover and skin aging.

How often to exfoliate
Avoid excessive exfoliation to avoid causing irritation and hypersensitivity of the skin, including redness and rashes.
I recommend exfoliating your face no more than once a week to maintain the skin’s natural balance and prevent dryness and dehydration.

Facial exfoliation based on skin type
When we talk about scrubs, scrubs and facial peels, it is essential to distinguish between mechanical and chemical exfoliation. Both methods aim to remove dead cells and surface impurities for glowing, smooth skin.

Mechanical exfoliation uses small particles to remove impurities through rubbing, while chemical exfoliation uses acids or enzymes to dissolve dead cells.

Facial scrubs are mechanical exfoliants, suitable for impure and oily skin, while scrubs have finer granules, ideal for sensitive skin.

Chemical peels, with acids such as glycolic, mandelic or salicylic, offer deep exfoliation, suitable for dry skin, avoiding the stress of mechanical treatment.
