This gently foaming exfoliator combines sunflower and safflower oil to help cleanse the skin, along with aloe vera to hydrate. Micro exfoliating beads and glycolic acid work together to loosen dead skin cells and smooth away roughness. Those with spotty or blackhead prone skin will find this scrub helps to clear skin and prevent blocked pores. Skin is left feeling incredibly smooth and ready for moisturising. This can be used all over the body and will quickly smooth dry, rough patches on knees and elbows and is very effective for reducing Keratosis Pilaris.
How does it work?
Micro exfoliating beads and glycolic acid combine in this effective exfoliating treatment.
Alpha-hydroxy acids are naturally occurring acids, derived from the sugars of selected plants and fruits such as Sugar Cane, Grapes, Citrus Fruits, Apples and Bitter Almonds. These acids perform at the base of the stratum corneum, dissolving the ‘glue’ that holds dead skin cells together. Because this increases cell turnover, skin becomes smoother, more elastic and more even in tone and texture.
At the same time Glycolic Acid also stimulates your skin to produce more collagen. Collagen is the main structural protein of the skin and keeps it elastic and line free; when this starts to disintegrate, skin begins to sag and wrinkle.
Glycolic Acid has been known to help the following conditions
* Acne
* Sun damaged skin
* Blotchy pigmentation (chloasma)
* Fine wrinkles
* Over production of sebum (oily skin)
* Shaving rash
* Scars
* Stretch marks
* Blackheads
* Dry skin
* Open Pores
* Milia
Skincare tips
Pump a generous amount of the scrub into the palm of your hand and work over the body using a circular motion. Pay special attention to the skin on your knees, elbows and feet, or anywhere where there is dry or rough skin. Rinse thoroughly in warm water.
For best results, follow with our Rejuvenating 12% Body Lotion Glycolic Acid to leave your skin super smooth and hydrated.
When using any product containing glycolic acid you must use a moisturiser with a spf of at least 15 during the day, if you plan on sunbathing or visiting a hot climate use a minimum factor 25.
DO NOT USE If you're pregnant/breastfeeding, under the age of 17, if you are undergoing any kind of intense beauty treatment (microdermabrasion, glycolic acid (at a salon) treatment, Retin-a, laser therapy etc) or if you're on medication which increases the skins sensitivity such as roaccutane
We no longer supply pump tops as standard as the pumps are reusable which is better for the environment. This item can be used with or without a pump
