Exfoliate w/ NOVACleanse by Sur

As they say, there’s a 100 ways to β€œskin” 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? πŸ€”

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!! πŸ™†πŸΎβ€β™€οΈπŸ§πŸΎβ€β™€οΈπŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ (I use an exfoliating cleanser that contains an AHA + a mechanical exfoliation tool).

Physical:

  • Exfoliating scrub 🧽
  • Loofa 🫧
  • Scrubby Gloves 🧀

Mechanical:

  • BFF Skin Scrubber ✨
  • NOVACleanse 🧼

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

🌟 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.
🌟 Long-term exfoliating can increase collagen production.
🌟 Collagen is key to glowing, vibrant skin. The protein also promotes skin elasticity, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and related sagging.

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

I’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 can’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
