Letting your skin glow is easy.

Whether to avoid dry winter skin, or to get a natural glow for the summer: exfoliating from head to toe is one of the easiest steps for silky smooth and glowing skin.

What is exfoliation?

Exfoliation is the term for removing dead skin cells. Buffing away dead skin cells reveals fresh and youthful looking skin that radiates an irresistible glow.

How to exfoliate your body – the definitive mini-guide

Be aware: exfoliation is great for your skin, but in some cases you should put it off, e.g. if you are sunburned or have any open cuts or wounds.

1. Get wet: Step into the shower and wet your body from head to toe.

2. Circular rotation: buff your skin in gentle circular motions. Start with the bottom of your feet and work your way up.

3. Don’t scrub too hard.

4. Use your favorite product or scrub to exfoliate.

5. Apply a moisturizing / hydrating lotion after getting out of the shower or bath.

6. Remember: always moisturize.
