5 Transformative Benefits of Facial Exfoliation
For youthful, glowing skin
All-natural and organic face exfoliants or scrubs are essential in a holistic pro-ageing skincare regime. It’s fair to say these glow getters may have had a bad rap in the past thanks to mainstream brands using synthetic microbeads that bring havoc to our marine life, not to mention the abrasive and damaging micro tears to our delicate epidermis! But when correctly used, an all natural exfoliator that is specially formulated to gently buff, polish and dissolve, these wonder products are a fast track to revitalising and restoring a bright and even glow. Read on for our guide to the transformative benefits of facial exfoliation.
5 Benefits of Facial Exfoliation
1. Promote Cellular Renewal to improve the look and texture of your complexion. Each day dead skin cells, excess oil, dirt and product build up on the surface of your skin. This build up can leave the complexion looking dull, dry and uneven in texture. Gentle facial exfoliation removes the build-up of these dead skin cells revealing new smoother skin that looks plump and healthy.
2. Help to keep your skin looking youthful. As we age the cellular renewal process slows dramatically. A facial exfoliator helps to boost the natural skin rejuvenation process keeping the skin fresh and functioning at its optimum. Regular exfoliation helps to stimulate collagen synthesis due to the repetition of the cell renewal process. And it doesn’t stop here. Exfoliating also boosts circulation and encourages lymphatic drainage, the stimulation encourages oxygen-rich blood to the skin’s surface, flushing toxins and boosting cellular health for tight and firm skin. As part of a pro-ageing regime, we recommend you embrace all the benefits of facial exfoliation by making it a part of your weekly skincare routine.
3. The deep cleanse keeps spots at bay. Our range of natural facial exfoliators are formulated with clever fruit enzymes, natural acids and gentle ground plant matter that work to deep cleanse the pores. They work on a deeper level than your daily cleanser, removing and dissolving excess sebum, dirt, sweat and the build-up of pollution caused by outdoor living. This deep cleanse clears the pores and helps to keep blackheads, whiteheads and pimples at bay.
4. Help fade pigmentation, scars and spots. Consistent and diligent exfoliating supports the skin rejuvenation process aiding the breakdown of dry, dull and dead skin revealing a smoother, more uniform tone over time. Diligence in an exfoliating routine will lead to an improved appearance of hyperpigmentation, dark spots and acne scars.
5. Boost the efficacy of your skincare. Removing the dead skin cell layer weekly reveals new healthy skin cells and allows your natural serums and moisturisers to work as they are intended. Exfoliating ensures an optimum “base” for which your skin treatments can be layered for maximum efficacy.
How often should I exfoliate?
The frequency of exfoliation depends on your skin type and the type of exfoliant used. As a rule we recommend facial exfoliation once or twice a week for normal, combination and oily skin types and once a week for sensitive and dry skin types. Select an all-natural exfoliator, read on to see our recommendations below and it is important not to use a harsh exfoliant or over-exfoliate, as this can leave the skin inflamed and dry.
How to Prep the Skin for Exfoliation
To allow your exfoliator to work as it is designed pre-cleansing will ensure that the exfoliant can penetrate deeply and effectively. Start by cleansing your face with a gentle natural cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup. Gentle cleansers that balance the skin without stripping oils are an essential first step in your skincare routine. For oily, combination skin or breakout skin the AMALA Pore Clarifying Gel Cleanser works to clear up even the most problematic complexions. A little goes a long way and it’s a great replacement for overdying foaming mousse cleansers. For normal or dry skin types the AMALA Creamy Moisture Cleanse dissolves makeup and pore-clogging pollution in a single wash. This cleanser boosts a daily dose of AHAs and plant oils to leave the skin so smooth and clear.

Unleash the Power of All-Natural Chemical Exfoliators
When we think of chemical exfoliators the harsh peels of the eighties are certainly not what we are referencing! All-natural and highly effective chemical exfoliators are gentle, yet effective products offer a range of benefits for your skin. Derived from plant enzymes these exfoliators work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, revealing fresh and rejuvenated skin without causing micro-tears or irritation. Individuals with sensitive skin often struggle to find suitable exfoliation methods. All-natural chemical exfoliators provide a milder alternative, as they tend to be less abrasive and more tolerable for sensitive skin types. These products help remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover without causing redness, inflammation, or excessive dryness.
The AMALA Retexturizing Gel Aqua Peel is a potent resurfacing peel that combines 15% AHA fruit complex to gently exfoliate the complexion. It is a miracle in a jar for refining pores and replenishing hydration. This mask is clinically proven to deliver a more even toned and vibrant skin without the irritation of synthetic peels.

How to Exfoliate
Take a small amount of the exfoliant and gently apply it to your face, using light, circular motions. Be cautious not to press too hard or scrub aggressively, as this can cause irritation. If you have specific areas of concern, such as blackheads or dry patches, give them a little extra attention while exfoliating.
Once you have exfoliated your entire face, rinse off the product with lukewarm water. Ensure that no residue remains on your skin. After exfoliating it’s crucial to moisturise your skin to nourish the newly revealed layer.
Whether you are a morning person or a night owl, there’s never a bad time to exfoliate! Set aside a little time once or twice a week to keep your skin silky smooth and bright, for a glowing happy complexion.
