How to Customize our Facial Masks | Part 2
Last week we discussed the importance of using a weekly exfoliant consistently in your routine, especially when using plant-based products. This step is vital to encourage a healthy cellular turnover allowing nutrient dense ingredients to penetrate to the dermis. By removing just a pinch of dead skin cells each week this step allows your products to be absorbed by skin where they can truly hydrate and repair.
Just like with overusing acid-based products, if we incorporated an exfoliant more often than once weekly, you would find that the function of our skin barrier would be negatively impacted which would compromise the overall health of skin.
In this blog we will continue the conversation on How to Customize our Facial Masks by breaking down the remaining products in our Facial Exfoliant Collection that we have not discussed in Part 1 of this series.
