The Importance of Exfoliation

We all know exfoliation is an essential part of a healthy skin routine. When we talk exfoliation, we refer to the entire body, including our face, hands, body and feet. The benefits are positive and include unclogging pores, preventing acne, increasing cell turnover and much more.

When we exfoliate, we are helping to break up and remove dead cells from the surface, allowing new skin cells to generate. Plus, regular exfoliation helps remove daily grime deep within our skin’s pores, that our daily cleansers may not have washed away. Whilst your skin naturally sheds dead skin cells every 30 days or so, it does need a little help for those stubborn cells that bond together and result in dull, dry and flaky patches.

Furthermore, this easy act of exfoliation benefits our complexion more than we may be aware of, including our mindset. So, if you want to start your day with a feel-good attitude and overall vibe, make exfoliation part of your routine.

Now keep in mind, over exfoliation can damage skin, so ensure you do not exfoliate too hard.

Let’s look at the top 2 important benefits of exfoliation and how it can create a great start to your day.

 

Benefit 1

Increased Radiance:

It’s what we all desire is it not? Clean, clear, and glowing skin without the need to cover up imperfections and clog our pores with self tan or other skin enhancers!

When we exfoliate our body regularly, we are helping to unclog our pores, even out our skin tone and allow our beneficial skincare products to penetrate deeper and act more effectively.

Not to mention we are helping to prevent skin imperfections, by ensuring surface debris doesn’t penetrate deeper than it should. The last thing we need is dirt and grime getting too comfortable in our skin! When they say prevention is better than cure, they are not wrong. Exfoliation of the body not only helps stimulate the positive benefits, it helps prevent the skin issues that are harder to combat once they appear. Plus, economically, it’s more beneficial to the pocket when we don’t have to counteract those issues we can easily avoid with a simple act of exfoliation.

Our fave pick when it comes to body exfoliation is our Slow Beauty® Vegan Body Polish.

Benefit 2

Increased Circulation:

Good circulation is so important to our overall well-being, both inside and out.

When we exfoliate, we are actually increasing our body’s lymphatic drainage system which is promoting a natural detox. Ever wondered why the reference to exfoliate in a circular motion is suggested? There is good reason for that! By moving the skin and blood flow beneath, we are helping to increase circulation and this in turn, helps move and remove the toxins from our body.

And when you exfoliate and massage the skin upward in the direction of your heart, you are helping move the flow of lymphatic fluid and keep blood cells clean. Think of exfoliating as filtering your insides from pathogens and toxins that sit stagnant. By stimulating the movement of lymph fluid, you are helping filter the nasties through your body’s natural flow.

Whilst there are many ways to assist our lymphatic system, we can add that extra support with an added step in the shower. Gentle regular brushing also helps reduce the appearance of cellulite, promotes cell renewal, tighter and healthier skin. Who doesn’t want to look their best naturally?

Our fave pick is the Slow Beauty® Dry Body Brush.

 

Regular use will benefit and improve skin health by stimulating blood circulation to promote lymphatic drainage that helps eliminate toxins and stimulates the nervous system - leaving you feeling invigorated and energized. It’s a great little routine to kick start the morning and your day.
