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).

Your Lips

Frequency:

As needed

Blame it on subzero temperatures, a sunburn or just general dryness, but peeling lips are annoying—and frankly, unattractive. A gentle lip scrub will safely slough away the dead skin while moisturizing the sensitive skin underneath. It’s basically a gritty lip balm, so apply and rub your lips together until smooth.

Maybe you’re seeing some flakes or perhaps your hair has been feeling oily and a little dull. That’s what dry skin and product buildup can do to your scalp. On the flip side, exfoliating regularly can stimulate circulation in the hair follicles to help hair grow naturally thicker and shinier. You could use a dedicated scalp scrub or just get one of these massaging brushes and go to town on your scalp.
