Exfoliation is one of the most important -and often misunderstood- steps in any skin care routine. At Dove & Leaf, we believe exfoliation should be gentle, effective, and customized to your skins needs.
What is Exfoliation?
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, helping reveal fresher, healthier skin underneath. As we age, skin cell turnover slows down, which can lead to dullness, congestion, breakouts, and uneven texture.
Benefits of Regular Exfoliation
Consistent exfoliation offers powerful skin benefits, including:
-Brighter, smoother skin tone
-Improved product absorption
-Reduced congestion and breakouts
-Minimized appearance of fine lines
-Healthier, more balanced skin barrier
Choosing the Right Type of Exfoliation
Not all exfoliants are created equal. Using the right exfoliant for your skin type is key to avoiding irritation while maximizing results.
Physical Exfoliant
Our Bamboo Exfoliant gently buffs away dead skin cells using finely milled bamboo and colloidal oatmeal, making it ideal for dull or rough skin that needs immediate smoothness.
Chemical Exfoliant
The Cherry Glycolic Peel uses glycolic acid to dissolve dead skin cells at a deeper level helping improve texture, tone, and signs of aging without harsh scrubbing.
Enzyme Exfoliation
For sensitive or reactive skin, the Banana Avocado Enzyme Mask offers a gentle exfoliation using fruit enzymes that break down dead skin cells while nourishing the skin.
How Often Should You Exfoliate?
Most skin types benefit from exfoliation 1-3 times per week, depending on the product used and individual skin needs, Over-exfoliation can damage the skin barrier, so professional guidance is always recommended.
