Fall Into Sexy Skin: Perfecting Seasonal Exfoliation
Just because the season to show off your skin is over doesn’t mean you shouldn’t continue to take care of it. It’s important to maintain your body care routine year-round, especially as the weather gets cooler. Exfoliation is an essential part of keeping the skin looking and feeling healthy, and LUV SCRUB is the perfect tool to do it!
Why Exfoliate In the Fall & Winter?
You may notice your skin getting dry or itchy as it gets colder. That’s likely because you’re not effectively exfoliating. The cool, dry air, combined with high heat indoors at work or home can strip the skin of its natural moisture. Many people make the mistake of only using moisturizer this time of year, believing it will help nourish their skin. However, exfoliation is an essential step in eliminating dead skin cells and creating a smooth canvas for moisturizing products.
How Do You Take Care of Your Skin in Cold Weather?
The cool winter weather is known to dry out the skin, but exfoliation works to eliminate those dead skin cells. LUV SCRUB’s Mesh Body Exfoliator is a modern take on the African net sponge, which has been used in Ghana for generations. Its supreme knotted texture allows you to effectively cleanse and exfoliate your body. You’re in control of how much pressure you apply when using the African sponge, ensuring you do not over-exfoliate. Steer clear of shower tools such as loofahs, shower gloves, and any similar products, as they do not provide effective exfoliation and can breed nasty bacteria. We recommend staying away from body care products (such as shower gels or moisturizers) with alcohol, as it is a drying ingredient. After using your LUV SCRUB, make sure to apply your favorite moisturizer all over your body to help maintain your skin's hydration levels. Feel free to test out different oils, lotions, and body butter to see what works best for you.
When Should You Not Use an Exfoliator?
LUV SCRUB is not recommended for those with sensitive skin or skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and others. Exfoliation should also be avoided directly after any skin treatments. This includes (but is not limited to) waxing, laser hair removal, or chemical peels. After these treatments, your skin will be extremely sensitive, meaning exfoliation could cause damage. Avoid using an African exfoliating net and other exfoliating tools for at least a few days, or up to a week after your treatment. Exfoliation should also be avoided if you have open wounds, as it can cause more damage during the healing process.
In Conclusion, Exfoliation is Key!
Although your skin may not be exposed, it’s essential to keep up with a good body care routine year-round. Exfoliation will remove dead skin cells and keep your skin looking and feeling smooth (and healthy). Use your LUV SCRUB (African sponge elevated) daily, and experience the difference yourself
