(Re)Discover exfoliation
There is exfoliation and exfoliation... In powder, mask, lotion and even serum, exfoliants are everywhere! And depending on their active ingredients and concentrations, they can do much more than simply improve skin radiance. Anti-imperfections, anti-spot, anti-aging and even moisturizing (yes, yes), we guide you to find the one really made for you.
What if I want to exfoliate exfoliation?
Not much going on with your usual scrub? The ones you've already used haven't really revolutionized your beauty routine? It's because your skin needs to move on to the next level. Best bet: Track down skincare products that contain multiple exfoliating actives in the same product, and switch to a more concentrated one.
To remember for a successful exfoliation .
-
Are you a regular exfoliator? For AHAs (glycolic, lactic, mandelic acids...) a concentration of 5% or more of acid will give you an even more "wow" effect.
-
Always give your exfoliating care products time to work (unless, of course, it is specified to rinse quickly on the instructions to stop the exfoliating effect).
-
And for those who do not rinsewait several minutes before applying another treatment... or nothing if you don't feel the need and it is applied in the evening.
-
The neck and décolleté age as much as the rest of the as the rest of the face. The ideal is therefore to extend the movement to these too often forgotten areas.
-
If you have sensitive skin, avoid grainy scrubs. Or, make sure they are in super nourishing formulas (for example, accompanied by vegetable oils to compensate).
And finally, in the evening, it's always best: you avoid exposure to light, which can sensitize your skin, and you boost the effectiveness of your exfoliator to the max since your epidermis is most receptive at night.
