Why weekly exfoliation matters
To get the best results for your skin, exfoliating each week is essential.
Exfoliation does far more than remove dead skin cells. When done correctly, it supports skin clarity, boosts hydration, enhances glow and helps prevent breakouts and premature ageing.
The benefits below reflect what you can expect when exfoliating with a properly formulated exfoliant, such as the Gentle Exfoliant.
It provides a deep clean
A good exfoliant should not only remove dead skin cells but also support skin health at a deeper level.
The Gentle Exfoliant contains naturally derived ingredients with antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal properties. These help cleanse pores thoroughly and reduce the likelihood of congestion that leads to acne, pimples and blackheads.
When used before the White Clay Mask, exfoliation prepares the skin so the mask can draw out toxins more effectively and support skin repair, whether your goal is clearer skin or improved signs of ageing.
It increases absorption of your moisturiser
When dead skin cells sit on the surface, they act as a barrier.
Exfoliating removes this layer, allowing your moisturiser and treatments to properly contact the skin and penetrate more effectively into deeper layers.
Without exfoliation, even the best moisturiser cannot perform at its best.
Regular exfoliation ensures you are getting full value and results from products such as:
• Intense Hydrating Crème
• Light Balancing Crème
• Nature's Antioxidant Crème
Your skin will glow
Exfoliation instantly improves skin luminosity.
When dead skin cells are removed, light reflects evenly off the surface of the skin instead of being absorbed. This reflection creates a natural glow and a smoother, more refined appearance.
Many people find that after exfoliating regularly, they need far less makeup as skin appears brighter and more even on its own.
Better makeup application
If you do wear makeup, exfoliation makes a noticeable difference.
Makeup applies more evenly and smoothly, helping to prevent:
• Patchiness
• Flakiness
• Makeup settling into dry areas
This results in a more natural and polished finish.
Your skin will feel incredible
Exfoliated skin feels softer, smoother and more supple.
Using the Gentle Exfoliant followed by the White Clay Mask and then sealing with a nourishing moisturiser such as the Intense Hydrating Crème leaves skin feeling deeply hydrated and comfortable.
It helps keep your skin looking youthful
Exfoliation supports healthy skin cell turnover, which naturally slows as we age.
By encouraging the removal of old cells and supporting renewal, exfoliation helps soften the appearance of fine lines, improves texture and supports long term skin vitality.
It is never too early to care for your skin. A once weekly exfoliation routine is simple, effective and sustainable.
Bonus tips for exfoliation
Exfoliation tips for men
Shaving already exfoliates the areas that are shaved.
Men should exfoliate areas they do not shave to keep skin texture even and clear. Using the Lemon Myrtle Cleanser as a shaving lubricant also provides gentle cleansing and skin conditioning benefits.
Why we do not use micro beads
The Gentle Exfoliant uses fine jojoba beads, which are biodegradable and gentle on the skin.
We avoid abrasive exfoliants such as walnut shell powder or synthetic micro beads, which can scratch the skin and damage delicate capillaries.
Micro beads are also harmful to the environment, as they are too small to be filtered out of waterways and often end up in marine ecosystems.
