We’re acquainted with the concept of exfoliating our skin with a bamboo-based scrub, but how much do we truly know about bamboo as an exfoliant? Before you attempt to slough off dead cells from the surface of your skin, you must learn more about the agent you’re employing to enable the process of exfoliation. We’re investigating the benefits of bamboo as an exfoliator. Is it any good? Let’s find out.
It’s important to reiterate that research is key, regardless of how credible you believe a product is. Eg: Walnut scrubs are commonly found in skincare isles, but did you know that they are notorious for jeopardising the health of the skin? According to experts, the scrub triggers microtears on the skin because of how abrasive it is.
Circling back to bamboo; unlike other abrasive exfoliants, bamboo has a gentle structure that polishes the skin without causing any tears. It buffs the skin for the ideal amount of exfoliation and dissolves any build-up of oils on the surface to encourage better penetration of skincare products. It doesn’t interfere with the balance of natural oils produced by your body and retains the suppleness of your skin.
Benefits of using bamboo as an exfoliant
Bamboo contains a compound called silica that strengthens the skin, improves its elasticity, provides anti-acne and anti-wrinkle benefits, and promotes collagen production as well. An all-star ingredient, isn’t it? And it’s suitable for all types of skin, even sensitive and acne-prone skin because of how soft the fibre is. It’s also said that bamboo has the potential to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and age spots. Have we made the case for the natural exfoliant yet?
