You’ve probably seen your partner swear by exfoliation as part of her bathing routine. But do you know that your skin needs it just as much? Environmental pollutants like the sun and pollution cause several germs to settle on your skin, which eventually lead to dead skin buildup and a dull complexion. This is why scrubbing your body twice a week is a must even for men. Here’s more on how to exfoliate men’s skin...
 

Why should men exfoliate?

Why should men exfoliate?

One of the biggest reasons behind exfoliating is getting rid of dead skin buildup. When you exfoliate, you basically buff away the debris that may have settled on your skin. But we suggest restricting it to twice a week only because this is a deep cleaning process that, if overdone, can cause irritation on your skin. Moreover, as you start ageing, your skin cell turnover slows down but exfoliation can rejuvenate your skin cells and can therefore, save your skin from turning wrinkly and saggy.

For added benefits, we suggest using the St Ives – Smoothing Apricot Body Wash that’s made with 100% natural moisturisers and exfoliants. It’s hypoallergenic and suits all skin types.
