Exfoliating lotion in the skincare routine: why and how to use it
In an effective skincare routine, using an exfoliating lotion can play a crucial role for smooth, glowing and blemish-free skin. But what exactly is this type of lotion used for and how can you wisely integrate it into your skincare routine? We explain the benefits of the exfoliating lotion and give you our practical advice for optimal use.
The benefits of exfoliating lotion
An exfoliating lotion is formulated to gently remove dead skin cells, impurities and excess oil, leaving skin smoother, clearer and brighter. Here are some of its main benefits:
- Gentle exfoliation : The exfoliating acids in the lotion dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting their removal without the need for abrasive scrubbing.
- Blemish Reduction : Regular exfoliation helps unclog clogged pores, prevent breakouts, and reduce the appearance of blemishes such as blackheads and pimples.
- Improved skin texture : By removing dead cells from the skin's surface, the exfoliating lotion promotes cell turnover, leaving skin softer, smoother and more even.
- Stimulates cell turnover : Exfoliating acids like AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) or BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) stimulate cell turnover, helping to fade signs of aging and reveal younger, more radiant skin.
How to incorporate an exfoliating lotion into your skincare routine
Here are some tips for effectively incorporating an exfoliating lotion into your skincare routine:
- Choose the right product : Opt for an exfoliating lotion tailored to your skin type and specific concerns, taking into account the concentration of exfoliating acids and recommended frequency of use.
- Use it sparingly : Start by using it once or twice a week, depending on your skin's tolerance, then adjust the frequency based on your needs and how your skin responds.
- Apply it after cleansing : Use the exfoliating lotion after cleansing your face and before applying other skin care products, like a serum or moisturizer.
- Protect your skin : After using an exfoliating lotion, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damage and minimize the risk of increased sensitivity to UV rays.
Our pro tips: use the Crystal Bright exfoliating lotion once or twice a week (depending on your tolerance) and apply the Crystal Bright SPF50+ mattifying fluid to protect your skin from the sun's rays.
In summary, regular use of an exfoliating lotion can benefit the health and radiance of your skin. Choose the right product and integrate it into your skincare routines to obtain visible and lasting results.
