A radiant complexion and flawless skin are probably everyone's dream. However, everyday life, environmental stresses and other factors can often leave skin looking dull and tired. Fortunately, there is a simple way to bring your complexion back to life - with a scrub.

What is exfoliation and what are its benefits?

A scrub aims to remove dead skin cells from the skin's surface. This is done with the help of special care products that contain fine exfoliating particles and are activated by gently rubbing them on the skin. By removing dead skin cells, exfoliation reveals fresher skin. This results in a more even complexion, better texture and a radiant appearance of the skin. In addition to improving the appearance of the skin, there are numerous other benefits of exfoliation:

  • Reduction of impurities: Exfoliation can help reduce blackheads and acne by keeping pores free of debris
  • Increasing circulation: Gently massaging the skin during exfoliation improves circulation, resulting in a healthier complexion
  • Reduction of pigmentation spots: With regular use, exfoliation can help reduce dark spots and sun damages
  • Better absorption of skin care products: After exfoliation, skin care products can be better absorbed by the skin because the barrier of dead skin cells has been removed

 

How to use a body scrub?

The correct application of a scrub is crucial to achieve the best results and avoid skin irritation. There are a few important steps to follow here.

 

  • Always start with a thorough cleansing - especially when using a facial scrub - to remove dirt and makeup
  • Choose an exfoliating product that suits your skin type. Our range of products is specially formulated to meet different needs - for normal to dry and oily skin, as well as combination skin, we recommend our enzyme scrub. Our fruit acid peel is especially suitable for mature skin, while the gentle cleansing scrub is the best choice for particularly sensitive skin.
  • Apply the scrub gently to the skin and massage in circular motions. Avoid the eye area and be careful not to irritate the skin too much
  • Rinse the exfoliating product thoroughly with warm water
  • After exfoliating, it is important to moisturize the skin to soothe and hydrate it. This works best with our hydro-regenerating cream, hydrating cream or hydrating depot cream - again, of course, tailored to your skin type.

 

How often should I use a scrub and what should I pay attention to?

The frequency of application is also a question of skin type. Especially people with sensitive skin should pay attention to how the skin feels and adjust the frequency accordingly to avoid skin irritation. Basically, however, one to two peeling treatments a week is a good basic rule to refresh your skin. However, you should avoid scrubs in case of acute skin problems, open wounds and rashes as well as sunburn in order to avoid further damage of the skin.
