Your Body Needs Exfoliation – How-to Guide
Your Face
Frequency:
Two to three times a week
If you really want to see improvement in the texture and clarity of your skin, start exfoliating your face. By clearing away the dead skin cells, you uncover the fresh, healthy ones underneath while kickstarting the cell renewal process. That all translates to clearer, brighter, smoother skin—and that’s just what you want. Right now, we’re alternating between Goop’s citrusy scrub (packed with vitamin C, omega acids and soothing squalane) and Grown Alchemist’s scrub-free exfoliant (which is suitable for use around the eyes and even the most sensitive skin).

Frequency:
Twice a week, or whenever you shampoo

You could use a dedicated scalp scrub or just get one of these massaging brushes and go to town on your scalp.
