Exfoliation: skin rebirth from antiquity to today

The ancient Egyptians and Greeks discovered the benefits of exfoliating the skin dozens of centuries ago. If it’s not already part of your beauty ritual, you should definitely give it a try and enjoy the benefits it brings.

Our skin usually renews itself every 30 days. The accumulation of dead skin cells can lead to rough, uneven or pale looking skin. By removing the top layer of dead cells from the epidermis, we slow down the natural renewal process and thus our face is beautiful and brightened longer.

We have the option of using physical or chemical exfoliants to achieve the desired effect.

Ideally, we should exfoliate our skin twice a week so that we don’t dry it out or put unnecessary strain on it. In the morning, before putting on makeup, for those who wear it, so it “lies” comfortably on our smooth skin and stays there all day. Another big plus is that for fake tan lovers, this is a magic trick for better and even application.

Exfoliating is a necessary part of any skincare regime: like rearranging your wardrobe according to the season, for example. No matter how busy and tired we are, if we do it, we’ll be happier with ourselves and make our daily lives easier.

And most importantly: exfoliate not only your face, but your whole body and don’t forget your neck and arms!
