If you've got your cleansing, toning and moisturising down, but your skin is still lacking a little something-something, you might want to add in 1-2 exfoliating sessions a week. You can literally scrub away the old/dead skin and face your day fresh faced and shiny-new. And in this cold and drying weather, trust your Auntie Natnee when she tells you - your skin needs a scrub.
It doesn't matter what skin type you have (even sensitive), regular, gentle exfoliation can help. Here's 5 ways exfoliating your face is a good thing:
- It can reduce breakouts. Acne prone and oil skin generally sheds more skin cells - but instead of falling off, they stick to the oils in your skin, clogging pores and creating spots. Exfoliating can help remove the skin cell debris and prevent a build up.
- It can reduce large pores. Clogged pores look larger - exfoliating unclogs the pores allows them to shrink back in size.
- It can improve the texture of your skin. Getting rid of dead cells allows new cells to take their place. Essentially your skin will go from dull to bright!
- It can help your skin absorb other products better. Blocked pores will not absorb your lotions and potions as efficiently as unclogged pores. A huge bonus is that it allows sunscreen to absorb more and better protect your skin.
- It can help prevent the signs of ageing. Exfoliating smoothes the skin and helps it keep it's elasticity.

So if you'd like to be one of twenty five ladies putting this to the test, why not get chatting to us about your exfoliating habits? Are you a regular scrubber or is it something you need to start including in your skincare routine? For the regular exfoliators among us, do you notice a change if you skip a session?
Go on, get chatting below!
I normally exfoliate every other day. My current is the St Ives Green Tea. For my body it's The Skin Kitchen Coffee scrub. Still trying to get through my Dry Cleanse by Tailor.
