New Year’s Detox: Exfoliation From Head to Toe

If you want to keep your skin healthy and glowing in the year ahead resolve to regularly exfoliate your skin.  Exfoliation acts as a detox as it helps to clear the toxins from your skin and refresh circulation. If you think you only need to exfoliate your face. Think again!

We recommended that you exfoliate on a regular basis from head to toe for an all over detox.

Exfoliate Your Scalp:
 Your scalp is constantly shedding dead skin cells. Chemicals from hair styling products build up on the hair and scalp, making hair look dull, feel limp, and may even make it harder to style. Exfoliating your scalp regularly, as you would your face, helps to remove dead skin, unplugs “plugged” follicles, and helps to balance sebum production, which all works to increases blood circulation and promotes hair growth.

Exfoliate Your Face
Regular skin cleansing is an obvious daily essential, but exfoliating your face regularly can improve the results of your skin care routine and help rejuvenate your skin. Whether you have normal, oily, dry or even sensitive skin, regular exfoliation is keys to bringing new life to your complexion.

Exfoliate Your Lips
Especially during the colder months, dead skin cells tend to accumulate on the lips, leading to dryness and chapping. Regular exfoliation ensures your lips are soft and smooth and that your lipsticks and glosses go on smooth as butter.

Exfoliate Your Décolleté: 
Like your face and back, the skin on the chest is home to hundreds of pores, which produce just as much oil. If you are not exfoliating this area at least once a week, residue buildup can cause the skin to look dull and may lead to breakouts.

Exfoliate Your Back
Although your back is hard to reach, it’s very important to exfoliate this area regularly, especially to keep your back free of “bacne”. Like the chest, the skin on your back can become clogged with oil and dead skin, leading to pimples and blackheads.

Exfoliate Your Feet
The skin on your feet is thick and therefore can be hard to keep soft and hydrated. If you tend not to wear socks regularly, your feet may be more deydrated than normal and you may run the risk of getting cracked heels. Removing dead skin cells is essential to locking in moisture.
