Summer is here ☀️ and with it, the scrubbing season is in full swing. For those who like to renew their skin as the much-anticipated beach tanning session approaches, here's a short guide to using a scrub.
Scrubbing is that moment in our skincare routine where we "make ourselves beautiful again" 💆♀️, meaning we eliminate the old and make way for the new! This deep cleansing of the skin also leaves it soft and smooth.
Normally, scrubbing the skin on our body and/or face should be done once or twice a month, or even weekly, depending on your needs.
We're talking about scrubbing season today because it's true that this practice always sees a resurgence at this time of year, as it also helps to prepare the skin for the sun and promote what is called the release of melanin, the cells responsible for our skin's pigmentation. Fundamentally, scrubbing is a deep cleansing of our skin; it eliminates dead cells to make way for new ones, supporting natural skin renewal and promoting refined skin texture. It's a 100% beneficial operation, and above all, necessary for a natural skin glow and a healthy skin barrier. However, pay attention to this essential rule: a scrub is ALWAYS followed by deep hydration 💦 using a nourishing and protective cream. Some scrubs can hydrate while exfoliating your skin, but nothing replaces moisturizing cream, the essential partner to scrubbing.
For natural 🍃 and holistic 💫 scrubs, two choices are available to us. The first is a rather gentle scrub, the Marine Scrub from our Swiss range PHYTO 5, recommended for sensitive and dry skin. With its soft and refreshing gel texture, this scrub, rich in rice powder, jojoba pearls, and wakame seaweed, gently exfoliates and effectively eliminates dead cells, leaving the skin texture refined, the skin soft, and a more radiant complexion.
Second option, the Phyto-Peel 100% ORGANIC scrub from our Ageless La Cure range.
This creamy scrub with a cinnamon scent exfoliates dead cells using lotus grains and shea nut shells. Rich in natural tropical fruit extracts, it is also a scrub that works by chemical action. A double exfoliation (grain and chemical action) for renewed, unified skin, free of dead skin cells.
Make your choice, alternate, dose, but most importantly, don't miss this annual opportunity where pampering your skin has never been so pleasant!
