Exfoliate

Exfoliation is an integral part of the maintaining beautiful healthy skin.

Techniques may vary but the benefits of exfoliation are many. First, exfoliation removes the skin's surface of any dirt or oil residue by rubing off the uppermost layer of dead skin cells which prepares the skin for subsequent treatments or allows the skin to ore effectively absorb or react to products utilized in treatments that follow such as moisturizers or cleanser. Another benefit is that exfoliation helps to stimulate and circulate lymph fluids which aid in the elimination of toxins. Also, the scrubbing motion serves as a stimulating massage and improves circulation which has been found to help with the appearance of cellulite.

The entire body should be exfoliated once or twice per week but even a quick 5 minute scrub per day is healthy and helpful. Use a circular motion, starting with the feet, ankles and legs, then working on the hands, arms and shoulders, gradually working your way down the back, then up through the torso towards the heart. A cool water rinse after exfoliation removes any residue and will further activate blood circulation throughout the body. Pat dry and follow your scrub with one of our great lotions or cremes for new soft skin.
