Let’s face it -pun intended- our skin takes quite a beating every day. Dead skin cells, oil and environmental aggressors can build up throughout our day, leaving our complexions dull, rough and prone to frustrating breakouts. Enter the magic of exfoliation! This skincare step goes far beyond just a clean and fresh feeling, offering a range of bountiful beauty benefits that will have you literally glowing from within. So let’s take a look at why…
Unleash Your Inner Glow
Exfoliation buffs away the top layer of dead skin cells to reveal the fresh, radiant new skin beneath. This smoother surface reflects light better, leaving your face looking instantly brighter and more luminous. Think of it like polishing a gemstone – the more that you remove the cloudiness, the more its true brilliance can shine through.
Kiss Breakouts Goodbye
We all know that clogged pores are a recipe for disaster, leading to pesky blackheads, whiteheads and even acne. Exfoliation helps to keep the pores of the skin clear by removing the dead skin cells and debris that can trap oil and bacteria within. This can significantly reduce breakouts and promote a clearer, smoother complexion.
Boost Your Skincare Routine
Exfoliation doesn’t just improve your skin’s appearance, it also paves the way for your other skincare products to work their magic far more effectively. By removing the dead cell layer, you create a clearer path for serums, moisturisers and other beauty treatments to penetrate deeper, ultimately maximising their results and benefits without b.
Even Out Your Skin Tone
Sun damage, acne scars and hyperpigmentation may leave our skin looking uneven, but thankfully exfoliation can help to address these concerns by promoting cell turnover and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This can result in a more even and balanced skin tone over time – consistency is key!
Junoskin Feel Smooth Micropolish
I came across Junoskin whilst looking for vegan friendly, paraben free and cruelty free skincare for my combination / oily skin and instantly fell in love with their sustainable range. Their Feel Smooth exfoliant is a potent, yet gentle, micro-polish which contains six exfoliation and cell renewal ingredients. These ingredients gently remove your dead skin cells without increased irritation. The Pumpango enzymes content provides a gentle plant-based exfoliation, whilst its Glycolic Acid deeply penetrates and increases cell turnover whilst the bamboo and quartz provides sustainable mechanical epidermal shedding. Calming and hydrating, this micropolish contains scientifically evidenced natural ingredients to expertly reduce irritation whilst improving signs of pigmentation, spot prone skin, excess sebum and ageing.
Made from Silica 6%, Glycolic Acid 5%, Bambusa Arundinacea Stem Powder 4%, Pumpango 4% Lactobacillus/Pumpkin Fruit Ferment Filtrate, 3%, Carica Papaya Fruit Extract, 0.5%, Mangifera Indica Fruit Extract 0.5%; 95% of users notice a decrease in the appearance of pigmentation within three days, along with a 25% increase in cell renewal, improved hydration and reduction in breakouts, dilated blood vessels, milia, comedones, dryness and fine lines.
The 50g glass jar fits perfectly into my makeup bag and can be used 2-3 times per week, as needed, to achieve and maintain glowing skin. Designed for external use only, you simply massage a small amount onto your cleansed, dry skin using light circular movements for a couple of minutes, re-activating it with water if necessary and being careful to avoid the eye area and rinse off throughly with water. I love the feeling of exfoliating my face at the end of a long day as it provides such a deep and refreshing cleanse, relaxes me through such mindful self-love and leaves my skin feeling so silky soft before bed for a restful sleep.
It’s important to remember to wear an SPF daily when exfoliating the skin to stay protected from sun damage and maximise your results. By incorporating this into your skincare routine, you can reap a multitude of benefits, from enjoying a far smoother texture and brighter skin to having fewer breakouts and improved product absorption for the rest of the items in your makeup bag. Ultimately we can all benefit from a healthy exfoliating routine at every age and stage if life to keep our skin looking and feeling its best.
