SCS - Do I need to exfoliate if I'm using Sun Coast topicals?
While it is not required to exfoliate, you may find benefits in doing so while using our product(s).
Benefits of Exfoliation:
Exfoliation can leave your skin looking brighter, improving a topical product's effectiveness by enhancing its absorption. Long-term exfoliating has even been shown to increase collagen production.
Exfoliating tips:
- Exfoliating can be done on almost every part of your body, which works to remove dead skin cells and reveal healthy, new skin! Natural exfoliants include baking soda, finely ground sugar, almonds, sea salt, or even coffee grounds. These are inexpensive products typically found in your kitchen.
- For the face, exfoliating 1–2 times a week works best for most skin types. Use baking soda, cinnamon, or finely ground oatmeal, as these contain smaller particles and are gentle on the face.
- Sugar or coffee goes well with honey or oils such as almond, coconut, or olive to create a luscious lip scrub once a week.
- Be careful not to over-exfoliate your skin and build your routine around your individual skin care needs and skin type.
