Firstly, why does skin benefit from exfoliation? Well it removes all those dead skin cells that have accumulated on the surface of your skin. It's the dead skin cells that give aging skin the tendency to develop a dull lifeless appearance and this is the key difference between my skin and my daughter's youthful radiance. Her skin reflects the light and is naturally fresh and dewy. With exfoliation you can go a long way towards achieving this.
Older skin needs the opportunity to rejuvenate itself and exfoliation provides the stimulation and encouragement for the skin cells to renew themselves which results in a younger, fresher looking skin. Once the old dead cells are scrubbed off the surface of the skin and washed away, the skin is left with a lovely smooth glow. It also helps other products such as moisturiser etc. to work better as they are not sitting on top of the old skin cells.
I have found exfoliation to be an essential part of my anti-aging skin care regime and do this a couple of times a week.
Now I have trialled many facial exfoliators and come out of the shower with a bright red scratched face - not the look I'm after, but after using Liz Earle's GENTLE face exfoliator my face is now fresh and glowing, it feels so smooth and positively pampered! Not a red face in sight. It really is a gentle but very effective product.
The reason it is so different from the others I've trialled, is that Liz Earle uses tiny spherical Jojoba Beads. You can actually feel them roll over your skin as you massage it in. The exfoliating particles are plentiful but not as abrassive as some other exfoliators I've trialled, whose particles tend to scratch your skin and feel like you're rubbing sand on your face.
Liz Earle's exfoliator also contains Eucalyptus. The smell is so energising and gorgeous, a real wake me up in the mornings.
All in all, a lovely exfoliator that does an excellent job and won't break the bank!
