 | | Exfoliating Skin
Manual or mechanical, Chemical and Enzyme are the three exfoliating categories.
After the age of 28 your body is mature and fully grown the following years start the aging process. Our exfoliating scrubs and peels stimulate your skin back to its youthful self … you know, the old adage "men look younger because they shave" which is a daily exfoliation process. Women get the glow ... good-bye dull lifeless skin!
- Reveal fresh, healthy new skin. Your skin turn-over or replacement cells slow down with age by kicking off old cells your body replaces them at a faster rate … just like when you were younger ... yes, now you look younger!
- Polish your skin for a gorgeous luster, people ask “Did you just have a facial?”
- Remove old surface cells blocking the absorption of your other skin care products.
- At least, use 1 to 2 times weekly even on your entire body.
Manual, mechanical scrub
A topical exfoliating product applied to your skin which is manually moved across the surface with your fingers or applicator forcing dead cells off the surface with mechanical or physical friction. Our buff puff or washcloth is a manual exfoliator for any skin type.
- Ingredient examples are crushed irregular shaped oyster shells, seeds, apricot pits, any "natural" or "unnatural" inexpensive or exotic material suiting the product line. In extreme over use with very abrasive scrubs the jagged granules can cause microscopic lacerations on the surface sometimes leading to a tough feel as your body forms microscopic calluses against the constant abrasion.
- We use round micro beads or poly spheres ... so much gentler on your skin, the smaller the bead or sphere the kinder to your skin.
- Paraffin or wax mixed with water or oil manually moved across the surface with your fingers, the water evaporates allowing dead cells to adhere to the wax forming small balls of debris, and then brushed off your skin.
- Manual exfoliators are not for severe acne, fragile, broken capillaries called telangiectasis (tel-an-gi-ec-ta-sis) or any skin type and condition that can't tolerate pressure or friction.
Chemical
A topical bio engineered ingredient with the ability to dissolve or loosen the glue like substance holding dead cells together for exfoliation. The majority of these ingredients are Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) from lactic acid -sour milk, malic acid-apples, glycolic acid-sugar cane and tartaric acid-grapes or Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA) from salicylic acid in wintergreen and sweet birch. Lower strengths major benefit is exfoliation, higher strengths produce added anti-aging, acne control and other skin condition benefits. These are not manipulated or moved across your skin to perform unless combined with a mechanical or manual scrub ingredient.
- Recommended for acne, pimples, fragile, broken capillaries called telangiectasis (tel-an-gi-ec-ta-sis) or any skin type and condition that can't tolerate pressure or friction. Ultra sensitive skin can have an irritation problem if left on the skin too long.
Enzymes
Topical proteolytic enzymes are molecules catalyzing the chemical reaction to dissolve dead surface skin. These are not manipulated or moved across your skin to perform and in some cases may be used daily, low strengths often function poorly and too high will cause irritation.
- Recommended for acne, pimples, fragile, broken capillaries called telangiectasis (tel-an-gi-ec-ta-sis) or any skin type and condition that can't tolerate pressure or friction.
- Papain, papaya enzyme
- Bromelin, pineapple enzyme
