What is the most hygienic way to exfoliate your body?
Whether you’re using an exfoliating tool or not (think mitts, gloves, loofas or brushes), it’s imperative that your hands are clean, your tools are sanitised and the formula you’ve chosen has some sort of antibacterial ingredient added into it, think: salicylic acid and tea tree oil.
How often should you exfoliate your body?
It is recommended that you should exfoliate your body between two-three times per week. This is because it helps with promoting skin renewal, clearing away dead skin cells, preventing ingrown hairs and maintaining smooth skin.
Is it better to exfoliate in the morning or at night?
There is no hard and fast rule to whether it’s better to exfoliate in the morning or at night. This totally depends on your personal preferences and how you like your self care routine. There are pros to both. For example, if you exfoliate in the morning, it helps wake up your skin and boosts circulation, while at night it helps remove build up, supports your skin to repair itself, and allow your body lotions to absorb better.
And there you have it, a full body run down of the best body exfoliators to ensure the skin from your hands to your toes feels soft, smooth and super slinky.
