Why should you exfoliate your skin?
The scrub is exfoliating care that is used to eliminate dead cells, unclog pores and rid the face of impurities present on the surface of the skin. Exfoliation has many benefits, it helps stimulate cell renewal, unify skin tone irregularities, or even refine skin texture.
The different types of facial scrubs
1) Mechanical scrub
Mechanical exfoliation is the most traditional exfoliation. In mechanical scrubs, we find: grain scrubs, made up of tiny balls which generally come from sugar, salt, or even pieces of crushed fruit stones, they are often presented in the form of cream or gel. Be careful though with mechanical scrubs which are sometimes too abrasive and risk damaging the skin. At MonCornerB we are twice as careful about their composition to offer you very gentle scrubs that respect the skin's balance.
2) Enzymatic scrub
Unlike mechanical exfoliation, enzymatic exfoliation does not work by friction but thanks to agents which themselves get rid of dead cells. The enzymatic scrub can consist of salicylic acid, glycolic acid or fruit enzymes. This type of scrub, softer, is suitable for all skin types.
3) Alternatives to the classic scrub
There are other types of scrubs besides the usual exfoliators. These types of products can be applied more often or even daily compared to a classic exfoliation which will have to be done once or twice a week.
The exfoliating sponge: is an economical and ecological alternative. Unlike a product that lasts over time and does not require packaging, it works like a grain scrub, that is, by rubbing against the skin.
Lotion, serum, exfoliating cleanser: They are practical to integrate into a beauty routine, the two-in-one products are useful for people who are short of time or who simply do not want to accumulate too many products in the bathroom drawers!

Integrate the scrub into your beauty routine
1) cleaning
I clean my face with my usual cleanser and moisten my skin with lukewarm water
2) I apply my exfoliant
Mechanical exfoliation: I apply my gel or my exfoliating cream all over my face, except the eye area and I massage gently in semi-circles for a few minutes.
Enzymatic exfoliation: I apply my peel all over my face, avoiding the eye area, and I leave it on for the indicated time.
3) I rinse thoroughly
I remove the scrub residue with lukewarm water and dry my face with a microfiber towel.
Exfoliation is an important step in a skincare routine because it allows the skin to prepare before receiving the treatments and promotes their absorption. It can be done once a week, or even twice a week if it's a very gentle exfoliant!
