🧼 What Is Exfoliation, Exactly?

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. This:

• Unclogs pores

• Prevents ingrown hairs

• Helps your moisturizers absorb better

• Leaves skin smoother and brighter

There are two types:

• Physical exfoliation (like scrubs or brushes)

• Chemical exfoliation (using acids or enzymes)

Our body scrubs fall into the physical exfoliant category—gentle but effective when used properly.

🚿 When Is the Best Time to Exfoliate?

In the shower, after your skin has softened from the warm water. Apply the scrub in gentle, circular motions, focusing on:

• Elbows and knees

• Shoulders and upper back

• Legs (especially before shaving or self-tanning)

Avoid scrubbing too hard—your skin should feel refreshed, not raw.
