How to Properly Exfoliate for a Flawless Glow

by Coco Skin Therapy

Exfoliation is the secret to radiant, healthy-looking skin. By gently removing dead skin cells, you can reveal the fresh, smooth layer beneath and allow your skincare products to work their magic. But exfoliation isn’t one-size-fits-all! It’s important to know the right techniques and products to achieve that flawless glow without irritating your skin.

Here’s a guide to proper exfoliation with a focus on natural hydration, brought to you by Coco Skin Therapy.

Why Exfoliation Matters

Your skin naturally sheds dead cells, but sometimes, they don’t slough off completely. This can lead to:

  • Dull, dry skin.
  • Clogged pores and breakouts.
  • Uneven skin texture.

By exfoliating, you help your skin stay smooth, radiant, and better able to absorb hydrating ingredients like those found in Coco Skin Therapy products.

Step 1: Choose the Right Exfoliator

For dry skin, it’s crucial to use a gentle exfoliant with hydrating ingredients. Our Coconut Body Scrub is infused with coconut oil and jojoba oil to exfoliate and moisturize simultaneously.

Step 2: Prep Your Skin

  • For your face: Wash with a mild cleanser and pat dry.
  • For your body: Use warm water to soften the skin before applying the scrub.

Warm, damp skin allows the exfoliant to work more effectively without causing irritation.

Step 3: Apply in Gentle Circular Motions

  • Take a small amount of your exfoliator.
  • Massage it onto your skin in gentle, circular motions for about 30 seconds.
  • Be extra gentle on sensitive areas like your face.

Avoid over-scrubbing, which can cause micro-tears and irritation.

Step 4: Rinse Thoroughly

Use lukewarm water to rinse away the scrub, ensuring no residue is left behind. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel—never rub!

Step 5: Lock in Moisture

Immediately after exfoliating, apply a hydrating product to lock in moisture. Our Coconut Body Butter is a perfect follow-up, packed with mango butter and shea butter for deep nourishment.

How Often Should You Exfoliate?

  • Face: 1–2 times a week for dry or sensitive skin.
  • Body: 2–3 times a week, depending on your skin type and activity level.

Over-exfoliation can strip your skin of natural oils, so it’s important to find a balance that works for you.
