Exfoliation is a long time tried and true method of maintaining smooth and healthy skin. The process, either chemical or mechanical, removes the outer layers of the skin to enable skin treatments and products effectively work their magic on the skin.
One of the the benefits of regular exfoliation is boosting circulation, facilitating the elimination of impurities that may be trapped in the skin. From a look perspective, exfoliation leaves skin luminous, smooth and soft in texture, and removes excess dead skin that cause skin to look dull and lack lustre, according to skin expert, Ole Henriksen. As the season hots up, it's more important to exfoliate regularly to help boost your sunscreen's effects as healthy skin has been shown to improve SPF effectiveness. Ole Henriksen shares his DIY recipe for at-home dermabrasion resurfacing treatment called a "Shower Smoothie." The Epsom salts in the Smoothie contain magnesium and sulfate which are readily absorbed through the skin. Both minerals work to reduce inflammation and flush impurities. As a concoction with coffee grounds, eucalyptus oil, and sesame oil, the scrub helps promote smooth, soft and rejuvenated skin.
Simply combine 4 oz. of Epsom salt and coffee grounds, 1 tsp eucalyptus oil and enough sesame oil to form a smooth paste. NB if you don't have eucalyptus oil, a staple in most Aussie homes, you can use peppermint oil.
Wet skin in the shower then turn off water. Use the palms of each hand to vigorously scrub your body for several minutes from next to feet. Rinse and indulge in the uplifting fresh feel of smooth and reinvigorated skin. Use as a weekly body treatment for silky touchable skin! |
