How Often Should I Exfoliate?

 Here’s the thing about exfoliation: it’s hit or miss. Shedding your skin too often and using scratchy scrubs can make skin redder than a boiled Habanero, but find the sweet spot—that perfect buffing cycle—and you’ll have the silky, sunlit sheen everyone craves. So if you’re scratching to get your glow on (literally~), let’s explore this common beauty question:“how often do I exfoliate?”. 

 

How often do I exfoliate?

 

Unlike what you might have heard, we CAN exfoliate everyday! As long as we’re using a gentle organic formula—without irritants like alcohols, fragrance or preservatives—our skin will benefit from daily resurfacing. 

 

Raw Organic Persea Americana (Avocado Seed) Flour

 

This exquisite ingredient harnesses the natural power of avocado seeds to delicately slough away dead skin cells, revealing a sunnier and more radiant complexion. 

 

But here’s the real kicker: it’s a synergistic ingredient! Meaning?? The exfoliating workmanship of the avocado seed flour is enhanced when this ingredient mixes with other skin-calming exfoliants. Like a symphony of notes, each ingredient performs better when combined with avocado seed flour—all working in harmony to keep your pores tight and toned for an illuminated look.

 

Organic Chondrus Crispus (Irish moss)

 

Also known as Irish Moss, this unique ingredient, derived from the sea, brings the gentlest exfoliating properties! It’s packed with enzymes (proteins that eat yuckies like excess sebum and dead skin), which keeps our skin fresh, polished and bright. Plus, Irish Moss has another benefit: antioxidants!

 

Packed with minerals and vitamins, it helps ward away free radicals—nasty molecules from sources like pollution, UV radiation and chemicals, all which cause aging. That’s what makes Irish Moss such an amazing exfoliant: it doubles as a complexion clearer and aging defender! 

 

Organic Vitis Vinifera (Grape Seed) Flour

 

A bit bougie, this fancy-pants ingredient is made from wine grape skin and seeds. Uncommon in most skincare products, it’s more expensive to produce and thus tends to appear more with boutique skincare brands—not your standard cornerstore products! 

 

These ground particles delicately polish the skin's surface, unveiling a renewed radiance—similar to that wine-buzz glow! Bursting with antioxidants, it protects against environmental stressors and promotes collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin. 

 

Organic Lavandula (Lavender) Oil

 

An oasis for your skin, this moisturizing essential oil gives our exfoliation experience that extra joie de vivre! With its serenading properties, it makes the perfect partner to other resurfacing ingredients to help calm our skin, restoring that supple dewy texture. Meanwhile, it also has gentle antiseptic qualities that fend off bacteria for skin that looks relaxed and unbothered.  

 

Probiotics

 

Just like how probiotics in yogurt keep our tummy happy, these microorganisms also work wonders for our skin!  

 

To understand this process more deeply, let’s get a little sciency: The surface of our skin hosts a warzone of good bacteria and bio-invaders: toxins, pathogens, allergens—all trying to crowd the dermis. This glob of live matter creates the microbiome of our skin, a delicate ecosystem that needs protection against nasty particles to prevent inflammation and infection.

 

To support our skin’s defenses, probiotics work in harmony with our natural dermal defenses by eating away dead skin cells and promoting a healthy microbiome. 

A skin resurfacer that contains probiotics AND all these top exfoliating ingredients is not an easy find. That’s why the Sea Moss Exfoliator was designed--it contains all the right plant-based ingredients, backed by recent studies in natural skincare. Free from harmful additives or harsh chemicals, this soothing formula will jive seamlessly with your current skincare routine.
