Referred to as “dew from the heavens” by native Hawaiians and known for its rich hydration properties, coconut water is widely believed to help revitalize and refresh skin.

It’s important to be respectful of the skin barrier when choosing a scrub and gently massaging the skin in circular motions during application. Irritation can occur if physical exfoliation is attempted too frequently or too aggressively. If any redness or irritation is noted, I would recommend stopping physical exfoliation altogether and discussing with a dermatologist before restarting. Also, since chemical exfoliation achieves the same outcome as physical exfoliation, make sure you aren’t over exfoliating which can lead to irritation. Choose either chemical or physical exfoliation at first and wait a few days before incorporating another product into your regimen.The benefits of physical exfoliation are clear and St. Ives scrubs contain 100% natural exfoliants and all variants contain a creamy formula to allow the product to gently glide over the skin. Oil free and non-comedogenic, St. Ives scrubs help with congestion, leaving the skin looking and feeling fresh every season. Select a St. Ives scrub that suits your skin and rest assured these dermatologist-tested products will incorporate nicely into your skincare regimen and leave you with a glow! Even someone with dry, sensitive skin can use St. Ives’ Gentle Smoothing Rose Water & Aloe Vera Scrub two times a week and increase to four times a week as tolerated. It’s so important as a first timer with any skincare product to start slow and increase usage to avoid irritation. If you want to try a more moderate scrub, the St. Ives Soft Skin Avocado & Honey Scrub is a great choice to use a few times a week. For a deep exfoliation, try the Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub twice a week, increasing usage to three times a week as the skin acclimates. If you’ve ever spent too much time in the sun, you know all about aloe vera’s soothing and refreshing properties. But did you know that rose water benefits for the skin are similar? And when you put them together, their soothing powers are off the charts! Our Rose Water & Aloe Vera is the ultimate refreshing body wash. We included 100% natural rose water and aloe vera extracts into one super soothing formula. There’s no questioning this classic beauty care duo!

Physical exfoliation is the process of manually removing dead skin cells and dirt typically with either a scrub containing small particles or tools like loofahs, towels, or gloves. Dead skin cells can clog pores, so exfoliation is essential for all skin types. The first benefit of physical exfoliation is removing the top layer of skin cells – exfoliation can lead to an immediately brighter appearance of skin for any skin type. Another benefit of physical exfoliation is a smoother, even texture which allows makeup and other skincare products to sit more evenly. There are so many “a-peeling” things about physical exfoliation, and we love the power it has to make your skin feel refreshed. Our St. Ives Board-Certified Dermatologist partner, Dr. Claire Wolinsky loves the benefits of physical exfoliation as much as we do, so we asked her to share the advantages of this important step in your skincare routine, all year round!Because everyone’s desquamation process works differently, your natural skin renewal process isn’t always able to remove enough dead cells to maintain the kind of bright, clear skin most of us strive for.
