It is a practice that removes dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin (the epidermis) on your face and/or body. You can use a beauty tool such as a loofah or mitt plus a grainy scrub or soap.

See why you need to exfoliate your skin more:

Reduces the appearance of wrinkles

Gentle exfoliation helps to straighten those laughter lines when they get funny.

Improves skin tone and texture

Whether you have dry bits, pigmented bits or blotchy bits; exfoliation can help. Sloughing away old skin cells and allowing fresh ones to peep through gives your complexion a new lease of life. Skin exfoliation benefits and improves texture and tone for a softer, smoother look and feel.

Cleans pores

Exfoliation for acne-prone skin is a great skin care hack. Unclogging your pores will make them clearer, and make your skin feel smoother. Plus, your complexion will be less prone to blemishes.

Stimulates skin cell renewal

While it’s not possible to turn back the clock, you can reignite your radiance without a trip to the fabled Fountain of Youth. The solution is, exfoliation, which actively promotes skin cell turnover for brighter, clearer, younger-looking skin.

Boasts circulation

Cold weather and central heating can dry out your skin and make it look dull. Scrub well to improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage to revitalise your skin.

Makes lotions work better

Skincare products will only work effectively if they can get deep down. By exfoliating your skin and removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, your lotions are better able to penetrate the dermis layers beneath.

Way to healthy skin

Chemical exfoliants are harsh for some skin types and can make skin complaints worse. Natural exfoliation is the way to healthy skin.
