Did you know our exfoliants are proudly made right here in Australia?
Our unique handcrafted formulas harness the power of our incredible native botanicals to give you naturally radiant skin, instantly.
As we head into the colder months, the change in seasons can be harsh on our skin. The cold, dry air can strip our skin of its natural moisture, leaving it feeling dry, flaky, and dull. This is why it is equally important to exfoliate your skin regularly during the winter months.
Exfoliating your skin helps to remove dead skin cells, which can clog pores, make your skin look dull, create imbalances and prevent your daily moisturiser from absorbing deeper into the skin.
Regularly exfoliating your skin can improve circulation and help to boost collagen production, which can improve and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Physical Exfoliants
Physical or mechanical exfoliants are scrubs that contain tiny particles that physically scrub away dead skin cells. They are typically made from natural ingredients like finely ground oatmeal, botanicals, fruit powder and clays. For an effective body exfoliation, coarser scrubs like sugar or salt are combined with ground botanicals, clays or other powdered exfoliants.
For face exfoliation, we suggest:
Aussie Enzyme Face Polish
Buff Away Face Powder
Coconut & Wild Plum Organic Lip Scrub
Red Earth Skin Polish
Seaweed Polishing Cleanser
For body exfoliation, why not try one of our Australian Native Body Scrubs, Buff Away Body Powder or Rainforest Lemon Foot Scrub.
AHA Exfoliants
These type of exfoliants use natural fruit acids and enzymes to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells. They are typically made from gentle, yet very effective AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) or BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) that come from our native fruits, such as Finger Lime, Kakadu Plum, Quandong, Davidson Plum & Desert Lime. AHA's are equally as important to use as they dissolve the 'glue' that holds dead skin cells together and 'peeling' them away, thereby enhancing your skin's overall glow, smoothness and radiance.
For an amazing AHA exfoliation, we recommend trying:
Foaming Enzyme Cleanser
Gentle Peel Gel Mask
Aussie Enzyme Face Polish
Choosing the Right Exfoliant for Your Skin
The type of exfoliant you choose will depend on your skin type. Many of our exfoliants can safely be used across a broad range of skintypes, including our Red Earth Skin Polish, which contains only 4 ingredients and was formulated especially for sensitive skin types. Activated by water, it is so gentle and calming to the skin. Overall however, if you have sensitive skin, try to avoid using common physical exfoliants and go for a more gentle AHA exfoliant as a better option instead, such as our Gentle Peel Gel Mask.
If you have oily, dry or combination skin, you can use either physical or chemical exfoliants or both. However, it is important to choose a gentle exfoliant that will not irritate your skin. Exfoliating once or twice weekly is usually sufficient, although our exfoliantants are so gentle, they can be used more frequently if desired. Above all, always be gentle to your skin!
