How should I use a face scrub or exfoliator?
For optimal results, apply your face scrub to clean, damp skin. Start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser, then while your skin is still slightly wet, take a small amount of scrub and gently massage it onto your skin using circular motions. Focus on areas prone to congestion like your T-zone, but avoid the delicate eye area. The key is to use light pressure - let the exfoliating particles do the work rather than scrubbing vigorously, which can irritate your skin. Massage for 30-60 seconds maximum, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat your skin dry and immediately follow with a moisturiser to lock in hydration.
How often should I use a face exfoliator?
The frequency of exfoliation depends on your skin type and the specific exfoliating product. For most skin types, using a gentle face exfoliator 2-3 times per week strikes the perfect balance. Those with sensitive or dry skin might prefer once-weekly exfoliation, whilst oilier complexions and those looking for pore minimising skincare may benefit from more frequent use. Listen to your skin. If it feels tight or irritated, reduce frequency. Our exfoliating peels are designed to complement your routine without overwhelming your skin's natural balance.
What ingredients should I look for in an exfoliating peel?
The Body Shop's liquid peels feature a unique gel-to-peel formula that works differently from traditional chemical peels. Our peels contain citric acid as the gentle exfoliating ingredient, which helps lift away dead skin cells through the transformative gel-to-peel action. Key ingredients in our peels include sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) for hydration, vitamin C derivatives like 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid for antioxidant benefits, and botanical extracts such as Camu Camu fruit extract and Edelweiss extract. The innovative texture transforms from gel to peel as you massage, physically clumping up to lift away impurities and dead skin cells for smoother, more radiant skin.
Should I apply face scrub to wet or dry skin?
For optimal results, apply your face scrub to dampened skin. Water helps the product spread more evenly and provides lubrication to prevent excessive friction that could irritate skin. Massage the face exfoliator in gentle circular motions, paying particular attention to areas prone to congestion like the nose and chin. Avoid applying too much pressure, let the exfoliating particles do the work. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, and always follow with moisturiser to lock in hydration.
