If you want smooth skin, the key is a great exfoliator! Here are my top 4 favorite exfoliators for smooth skin that you will love!!
What does exfoliating do?
First off, what is exfoliating and what does it do? Over time, our skin collects buildup from skin care or makeup products, outdoor elements, or dead skin cells. It’s great to wash your face daily, but to truly get rid of the buildup, you must also use an exfoliator to scrub the layer off to achieve smooth skin.
I like to think of our face as a windshield on the car. Days and weeks after you wash your car, your windshield gets a film or layer of grim on it. Unless you wash it and scrub it, it continues to build up. Same thing happens to our face. If we don’t wash it and scrub it, it will have a layer of grim built up on it.
Skin Exfoliating Tips
Here are a few skin exfoliating tips so you get the healthiest and smoothest skin possible:
- Avoid using harsh and abrasive exfoliators. A good example of this is an apricot scrub. The granules are too big and tough and may leave your skin smoother but it will also scratch it in the process. Those tiny scratches can become infected and cause blemishes and breakouts. Harsh exfoliators end up doing more harm than good.
- For most exfoliators, only use 1-3 times a week. Exfoliating too often will irritate the skin.
- Don’t just rely on exfoliation for smooth skin. Also cleanse, tone, and moisturize daily to have happy and healthy skin!
Top 4 Favorite Exfoliators
There are a ton of exfoliators on the market. Some are great and some aren’t so great. Here are my top 4 tried and true exfoliators that I use and love:
- Daily Essential Co Exfoliant– This one is by far my very favorite!! It’s a plant based exfoliant. It has salicylic acid and jojoba oil beads that leave your skin so soft! It’s so gentle that it can be used daily. Since I’ve been using this in my skin care routine, my skin has never been so smooth and healthy! I also LOVE their oil cleanser, hyaluronic acid, and oil serum! (for 10% off, use this discount code at checkout: TDEJOELLEN)
- Salis Salt Scrub– I love that this is all natural. It contains Redmond Real salt, Redmond clay, essential oil, and jojoba oil. It’s very healing! My personal fave is the Sandalwood Salt Scrub.
- Rodan + Field Microdermabrasion Paste– This is a great face and body exfoliant. It leaves your skin feeling nice and smooth!
- Seint Masque– This is used as a masque to exfoliate your skin. It removes the dead surface cells of your skin by leaving it on for several minutes.
An honorable mention that I have not used but I have a lot of friends that use it and love it is Cure exfoliator. This one is a stronger exfoliator so it’s best to use it less often.
