Why should you exfoliate? In order to remove dry, flaky skin, it is extremely important to exfoliate your body at least once a week. When you exfoliate, all the dead skin cells, dirt and oils that are trapped into the pores will be removed, revealing clear and healthy skin underneath.

In addition to this, the built up of dead skin blocks skin care products from properly penetrating into the skin, minimising the ultimate benefits of such skincare products such as body lotion and oil. Once the pores are unclogged, skincare products can easily penetrate the skin, leaving you with a hydrated glow!

Remember to always follow up with an oil! Whenever you wash your skin, use a body oil to keep it soft and hydrated. This is because hot water strips the skin of its natural oils leaving it dry, dull, and tight. In addition to this, many of the soaps and detergents you use on a daily basis remove moisture from your skin as they are formulated to remove oil!

You might ask: Why is a body oil better than a moisturiser?

Body oils are hands-down the best way to lock moisture into your skin, and they’ll generally hydrate your skin for longer than thinner body lotions. That’s because oils share a similar structure to the natural lipids found in our skin, so they’re ideal for repairing and re-regulating your skin's moisture barrier.

So, after cleansing and exfoliating your skin use body oil to make your skin look radiantly glowing throughout the day. While it is a misconception that body oils will make your skin greasy, it really doesn't! Or at least, not all body oils... like our CheekyGlo Juicy Peach Body Oil!

Many of skin care products that are easily accessible from our shopping shelves contain fragrances and alcohol but products with excessive amounts of it can dry out our skin with prolonged use. Products that contain a higher percentage of alcohol should be avoided, and consider using more hydrating and moisturising products instead.

To keep the skin hydrated, it is best to place a humidifier on areas at home where you spend most of your time like your bedroom and living room. Humidifiers are a great tool to help make the air in your home less dry, acting as a natural moisturising agent. For this reason, humidifiers are often used for relieving dry skin, dry cough, cracked lips, sinus congestion/headache, nose irritation and bloody noses.

To ensure our skin is smooth and healthy, our essential skin proteins such as elastin, collagen and keratin must be protected. These proteins can be protected through the use of sunscreen, whether it is Summer or Winter. So make sure you use sunscreen to help reflect those UV rays away from our precious skin and protect the activity of these essential proteins!
