Why this worksExfoliation works by removing the build-up of dead skin cells on the surface. This process promotes cell turnover, leading to smoother, brighter skin. A good exfoliation routine can also enhance the absorption of moisturisers, making your skin feel even softer.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Exfoliant Select either a physical exfoliant like a body scrub or a chemical one with AHAs or BHAs. If you're new to exfoliation, start with a gentle scrub to assess your skin's reaction.
  2. Prep Your Skin Before exfoliating, dampen your skin in the shower or bath to help the exfoliant glide on smoothly. This makes the process more effective and comfortable.
  3. Apply and Massage Take a small amount of your chosen exfoliant and massage it onto your skin in circular motions. Focus on areas that tend to be rough, like elbows and knees, but be gentle to avoid irritation.
  4. Rinse and Moisturise Thoroughly rinse off the exfoliant with warm water and pat your skin dry. Follow up immediately with a hydrating body lotion to lock in moisture and keep your skin soft.

Where people go wrong

Many people over-exfoliate, thinking more is better, which can lead to irritation. Others skip moisturising after exfoliation, leaving skin dry. Make sure to choose the right exfoliant for your skin type and always patch-test new products.

The pro moveFor an extra glow, exfoliate twice a week rather than once, but listen to your skin and adjust as needed.
