CLEAR<br />
the way<br />
Clemency Alice highlights our need<br />
to exfoliate – but not overdo it.<br />
Exfoliating your skin is a vital step to your beauty ritual.<br />
However, it is essential that you do not overdo this<br />
(ideally one to two times per week) since this can strip the<br />
skin of its essential protective barrier. Through regular and<br />
correct exfoliating application methods, the skin actives and<br />
nutrients from your serums, essences and moisturisers will<br />
penetrate into the deeper layers of your skin. If you eliminate<br />
exfoliating from your ritual, the dead skin cells will act as a<br />
barrier to those essential ingredients.<br />
Regular exfoliation helps smooth, refine and brighten the<br />
skin and ensures a more flawless, easeful makeup application.<br />
