Exfoliation delivers a tighter, firmer, smoother look and feel of skin. Because of this result, many fall into the trap of over-exfoliation: an over-zealous approach that can actually reduce skin’s vitality and make it more susceptible to damage from UV light. Over-exfoliation triggers the inflammatory response, leading to a compromised lipid barrier that won’t function properly, a sensitized skin condition, and accelerated premature ageing.
If you’re showing the signs of over-exfoliation, speak with a professional skin therapist, who will most likely prescribe our UltraCalming Cleanser, UltraCalming Mist and Calm Water Gel to start the recovery process.
Sun protection is a must: use our Invisible Physical Defense SPF daily, this soothing invisible physical sunscreen with Ultra-sheer Zinc Oxide and Anti-oxidant Matcha Green Tea blends with every skin tone and defends against UVA/UVB and Blue light. (wear a sunscreen with physical UV blockers Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide that won’t irritate the skin.)
After skin recovery, begin exfoliating with Daily Microfoliant designed for daily use. If you desire a more intense level of exfoliation, look to non-abrasive exfoliants like Daily Superfoliant containing skin smoothing actives like Lactic acid and enzymes or Hydro Masque Exfoliant containing Ultra-fine bamboo to gently exfoliate the skin. Pair a more gentle regimen with professional exfoliation treatments from your professional skin therapist to enjoy smoother skin without undesirable side effects.
