Exfoliate w/ NOVACleanse by Sur

As they say, thereโ€™s a 100 ways to โ€œskinโ€ a cat, the same thing goes when it comes to exfoliating your skin. There are 3 types of exfoliation: Physical, Mechanical and Chemical! What type of exfoliator are you? ๐Ÿค”

I like to exfoliate at night to help get off all the layers of sunscreen, sweat and debris and to prep my skin to receive my nighttime elixirs! Sometimes I do all 3 at the same time!! ๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿง๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ (I use an exfoliating cleanser that contains an AHA + a mechanical exfoliation tool).

Physical:

  • Exfoliating scrub ๐Ÿงฝ
  • Loofa ๐Ÿซง
  • Scrubby Gloves ๐Ÿงค

Mechanical:

  • BFF Skin Scrubber โœจ
  • NOVACleanse ๐Ÿงผ

Chemical:

  • AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) * All skin types benefit
    • Glycolic
    • Lactic
    • Mandelic
    • Malic
    • Citric
  • BHA (Beta-Hydroxy Acid) *Acne prone skin / overly active oil production
    • Salicylic Acid
    • Willow Bark
  • PHA ( Poly-Hydroxy Acid) * Most Gentle
    • Gluconolactone
    • Galactosen
    • Lactobionic acid

๐ŸŒŸ Exfoliating at least 2-3 times a week can be so beneficial when it comes to maintaining a healthy glow as it helps prevent clogged pores, resulting in fewer breakouts.
๐ŸŒŸ Long-term exfoliating can increase collagen production.
๐ŸŒŸ Collagen is key to glowing, vibrant skin. The protein also promotes skin elasticity, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and related sagging.

๐Ÿ’• Lastly, giving your skin a fresh canvas, allows your products to penetrate and help increase effectiveness of your targeted treatments.

Iโ€™m doubling down my cleansing routine with TWO exfoliators: Dermalogica Glycolic Wash & my NOVACleanse by Sur:

  • Deep cleansing facial tool for a relaxing spa experience at home when you canโ€™t see me!

  • 7,000 sonic pulsations help penetrate into your pores to eliminate dirt, oil, makeup residue, and bacteria to help prevent future breakouts
