People often feel that if their skin is dry or rough they need more moisture. What your skin may actually need is exfoliation. The lifecycle of your skin cells means that new skin cells are constantly being generated to replace existing skin cells. If we over moisturise without exfoliating the dead skin cells can become compacted & hard, making the skin feel dry because it is more difficult for oils to penetrate the skin. Exfoliating, hydrating & nourishing together reduce the hardness & soften the skin - creating more vibrancy.
Our organic Herbal Face Cleansers are natural gentle exfoliants composed of organic grains, herbs, spices & clay minerals that can be used once a week or once a day.
Mixed with water their texture assists in sloughing off dead skin cells. The skin is able to absorb organic Nourishing Oils & natural, organic, Hydrating Mists far more effectively when there are less dead skin cells. Clay minerals work to nourish & refine skin, whilst organic spices & herbs act as a cleansing & purifying agent, simultaneously strengthening the tissue structure of the skin. The thicker your skin, the more exfoliation generally is required. Dry/Vata & Oily/Kapha skin types can use them more often than Sensitive/Pitta types.
Pitta types benefit from avoiding excessively hot, steamy environments - so avoid bikram yoga & the sauna! Find out more
