Why face exfoliators provide a bright and glowy complexion

Exfoliation not only rids your face and body of dead skin, it also helps with other imperfections. Facial scrubs improve the effectiveness of your regular skincare routine so you can benefit from healthy and glowing skin.

The benefits of using facial exfoliators

Daily cleansing is essential to remove dirt, sweat, pollution and makeup residue. In addition, exfoliation increases cell turnover and blood circulation.

It means that it helps your face to keep a healthy, fresh and radiant complexion.

Removing dead skin cells is an important step of your weekly skincare routine. The benefits are numerous:

- Minimize blemished skin and breakouts

A gentle face wash with exfoliators ingredients can help to get rid of bacteria and to unclog pores. It will be more effective than a simple cleanser to reduce the appearance of blackheads and blemishes.

- Improve skin hydration and texture

By adopting a beauty routine that includes exfoliants, you will be able to remove all those dead skin cells. New skin cells are more prone to absorb hydrating creams and keep moisture. You will get back an even skin tone and a smoother texture.

- Help fight first signs of skin aging

Over time, you may notice the first sign of skin aging: darker pigmentation spots, loss of elasticity, dehydrated skin. With a regular exfoliating and moisturising regime, you will soon notice that your complexion gets softer and more brightening.

How to use a face exfoliator

Start by washing your face with one of Darphin's best cleansers, that suit your skin type. Then once or twice a week, use a face exfoliator to remove dead skin cells that can pile up on skin's surface.

Face scrubs are more effective on damp skin. It’s better to exfoliate your face during your morning shower or night-time bath.

When you’re using an exfoliating cleanser, make gentle and circular motions during 20-30 seconds in each area. Then rinse off with warm water. Complete your beauty treatment by applying a moisturizer cream, to get a softener skin.

If you have a skin prone to acne or sensitive skin, use an exfoliating cleanser with a good balance between exfoliating ingredients, like salicylic acids, and soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin.

Opt for skincare products that do not contain alcohol, sulfate or fragrance, which are all known skin irritants, according to dermatologists.
