Exfoliation<\/strong> dates back to antiquity<\/strong>! Egyptians<\/strong> were the first to exfoliate<\/strong> their skin using white clay<\/a><\/span><\/strong> extracted along the Nile or in the desert oases. They also used fine sand<\/strong>, Red Sea salt<\/strong>, or crushed grape seed powder<\/strong> mixed with vegetable oils<\/strong>. Their use on the skin was an integral part of their beauty rituals. Nearby, the Maghreb<\/strong> region evolved with this same ancestral tradition. In Morocco, residents exfoliate in hammams with black soap<\/a><\/span><\/strong> made from olive oil, black olives, and sea salt. The mixture is applied to the body and face with a kessa<\/strong> glove, made of rough fabric. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

In the 20th century, the method evolved with cosmetology<\/strong> and the beauty industry<\/strong>, spreading worldwide. It cleanses and reveals softer, smoother, and more radiant skin, provided it is practiced one or twice a month<\/strong>. Its practice is especially appreciated in summer (avoiding doing it before sun exposure), when the epidermis accumulates dead cells<\/strong> more quickly due to the sun, heat, and humidity. Exfoliation then offers a feeling of freshness with its scrubbing particles while stimulating<\/strong> blood circulation. Here are the best scrubs depending on your skin type!  <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\r\n

Not sure what your skin type is?<\/span>\u00a0Start by cleaning<\/strong> your face with lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, without adding moisturizer. Let your skin rest<\/strong> for about an hour<\/strong> and watch<\/span>\u00a0it. Oily skin<\/strong><\/span><\/a> shines on the forehead, nose, and chin. Dry skin<\/strong><\/span><\/a> looks dull, sensitive, and may feel tight. Normal to combination skin<\/strong><\/span> has moderate shine in the T-zone and a <\/span>rather smooth<\/span>, even texture with little to no irregularities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n

Hydration is the key for dry<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and sensitive skin<\/strong><\/span><\/a>! Its particularly fragile<\/strong> barrier<\/strong> leads to faster moisture loss, becoming irritable<\/strong> and prone to itching<\/strong>. For this skin mood, avoid large grains<\/strong> like fruit pits or thick salts and sugars. Alcohol, <\/span>sulfates<\/span>, and fragrances can also increase dryness. The epidermis needs to be restored<\/strong> and nourished.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A scrub based on sweet almond<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, vegetable oils, or shea butter is ideal. Also suitable are those with fruit enzymes or alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs<\/strong><\/span><\/a>), like our Cr\u00e8me Gommante.<\/strong><\/span><\/a> It contains<\/span>\u00a0blueberry, lemon, orange, cane sugar, and maple sap extract! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For the body, you can trust our Gommage Corps Eclat<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, which also adapts to other skin types with its nourishing, oil-gel texture. It is formulated with diatom powder, a microalgae that exfoliates without irritating the epidermis.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n

Oily skin<\/a><\/span><\/strong> doesn\u2019t mean tough skin! It can react to certain irritants and is prone to imperfections like acne, blackheads, and excessive shine. It\u2019s best to choose a gentle scrub that regulates sebum<\/strong> production with clay, activated charcoal<\/strong>, or salicylic acid<\/strong>, which deeply cleans pores<\/strong> and reduces shine. Tea tree oil<\/span><\/strong> <\/a>or witch hazel<\/a><\/span><\/strong> are beneficial for keeping imperfections at bay. For the grain size, opt for fine particles and gel or cream textures, which won\u2019t add excess oil to oily skin. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Combination to normal skin<\/strong><\/span> can be considered robust! It has fewer issues<\/strong> than oily and dry skin since its moderate sebum production<\/strong> keeps it hydrated without being too greasy. Be cautious with combination skin, which can have sensitivities<\/strong> in certain areas. Sea salt and sugar scrubs are very irritating so look for formulas that offer both mechanical and enzymatic exfoliation (like our Cr\u00e8me Gommante<\/strong><\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For your body, dry brushing<\/strong><\/span> is excellent to promote blood circulation<\/strong> and detoxifie<\/strong>\u00a0the epidermis, although we do not recommend it for <\/span>very sensitive<\/span> or problematic skin affected by eczema, psoriasis, or body acne.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n

whether you prefer gentle chemical exfoliants, fine grains, or enzymatic scrubs, exfoliation<\/strong> is a great way to maintain healthy skin. Not only does it improve skin texture and radiance, but it also soothes<\/strong> irritations and itching. This ancestral ritual it a true gift for both your body and mind! <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\r\n\r\n
