Dead skin refuses to be moisturized or nourished. Our faces have 25-30 layers of it on the outer surface. The top layer needs to hop off daily. This is called cellular turnover. Without daily, healthy turnover, the skin becomes susceptible to free radical damage, acne, wrinkles, eczema, age spots, and overall dullness. To promote healthy cellular, daily gentle exfoliation is needed. The trick is to use mild, effective exfoliants to get the job done. Many cosmetic companies use harsh exfoliants like salt, microplastics, crushed shells and seeds, and alphahydroxy acids. They certainly work to exfoliate, but they are too harsh to use daily, and can cause micro tears in the skin, as well as disrupt the skin's natural microbiome.
Our formulations are gentle, simple, completely natural, and are both a mechanical and chemical exfoliant, giving you the best of both abilities.
Our rule: exfoliate in the evening, before bed. It helps to remove the day's grime from the face and allows your body to repair healthily while you sleep.
