Even though our skin naturally turns over it’s cell regularly, by shedding old dead cells to reveal shiny, fresh new ones. However, if the dead cells hang about for too long, it can lead to your skin look dull, you pores tend to become clogged; that result with build-ups and breakout, plus ingrown hairs.
Okay, it might seem a little obvious, but a glentle exfoliator can really help to speed things along and polish away old skin cells in favour of some good old-fashion smoothness. Plus, if you’re looking to keep hold of a long-lasting, even a tan for longer [fake or natural], with a decent scrub that will kiss goodbye to dry, rough skin aswell as boosting circulation for soft, smooth and naturally glowing skin.
