Exfoliation: How much should you apply?

The exfoliation is an essential part of any beauty routine. Composed of micro-grains (apricot powder, cranberry powder, etc...), this treatment primarily serves to remove dead cells present on the surface of the epidermis. It also helps to deeply unclog pores by eliminating excess sebum, thus preventing the appearance of imperfections. Exfoliation is also capable of reducing the appearance of hyperpigmented spots and stimulating cellular renewal, helping to prevent skin ageing. The skin then becomes smoother, the complexion uniform and radiant, and the skin texture refined. Finally, the exfoliant prepares the skin to benefit from the active ingredients contained in the subsequent treatments for better effectiveness.

A small clarification : While mechanical exfoliants are generally not recommended for dry and sensitive skin due to the action of rubbing the epidermis, our face scrubs and body scrubs can, on the other hand, be used by all skin types, particularly due to the presence of fine grains from fruit kernels and also its formula with 3 textures: gel, oil, and milk.

To avoid the risk of damaging the epidermis and causing discomfort, such as itching or dryness, it is important to use the correct amount of exfoliant. Therefore, the ideal is to apply a dose of product comparable to a hazelnut on the face and neck. For the rest of the body, the recommended amount of product depends on the size but the equivalent of 2 to 3 walnuts ofexfoliant is sufficient to scrub the entire body of a person of average build, or up to a hazelnut of product per area.
