Body care
Treating the skin of the body with exfoliation, mechanical or chemical, is the first step for an elastic and toned skin: let's find out together how to do it best.
BY INSIGHT PROFESSIONAL - 30/11/2021
Have you noticed that your body skin, after the summer months, has become drier, less toned and lost its usual complexion? These are the classic signs that alert us that our skin needs a good exfoliation. We often focus all our attention on the skin on the face, neglecting the rest of the body. Never fear, in this short guide we reveal all the ways to exfoliate your body skin, and why it is a good practice to do it regularly.
Exfoliating the skin means removing the uppermost layer of the epidermis, on which dead cells are usually deposited, and thereby facilitating cell turnover, bringing out the underlying layer of new cells. Dead cells on the surface of the skin can make the complexion look grayer and the texture less even and smooth. For this reason, regular exfoliation is an excellent practice for the overall well-being of the skin of the face and body.
There are various ways to exfoliate the skin of the body, each has its merits and you can opt for them according to your preferences. The important thing is to choose the right products, which are both effective and gentle, so as to exfoliate without promoting skin irritation or sensitivity.
Performs the same function as mechanical exfoliation, but instead of doing it by friction, it does so through the action of chemical molecules. The most commonly used exfoliants for this purpose are certain fruit acids, such as glycolic acid or lactic acid, which help speed up cell turnover. Another ingredient also increasingly used for body products is retinol. Within lotions or cleansers, it helps eliminate the topmost layer of the epidermis, improving and evening out the skin's texture and complexion.
