Its nearly Easter, the school holidays have started and it at this time of year I start thinking about booking our own holiday. This itself makes me realise that for the past few months I've managed to keep my body hidden under the vast layers of winter clothes.
So where do you start?
Exfoliation
Most of us exfoliate the skin on our face but what about our bodies? We seem to forget about our bodies over the winter months.The central heating and layers of clothes contribute to your skin becoming grey , dull dry and flaky.
Why exfoliate?
As we age, the process of cell regeneration slows down. This means that the body is slower to shed skin cells and generate new ones. When old skin cells start to pile up on the surface of the skin, it can leave skin looking dull, rough, and dry. Proper exfoliation removes the barrier of dead skin cells clogging the skin and uncovers fresh new cells below. This allows your moisturiser to absorb better into the skin, which makes them more effective.
In short, a regular exfoliating routine will leave your skin looking fresh and healthy.
Which exfoliator?
The Katherine Daniels Gentle Oil and Salt Exfoliator £29.00 is perfect for this. Himalayan Sea Salts and essential oils of Lavender, Petitgrain, Cypress , Geranium, Rosmary and Camomile give a luxurious and gentle exfoliation.
How to use
