Why is Exfoliation Essential For Your Skin

Why is Exfoliation Essential For Your Skin

Hi guys,

Let’s talk about exfoliation today and why it is essential for your skin. So many people still don’t exfoliate this date and that basically adds layers and layers of dead skin. Our skin goes through a natural shedding process every 30 days or so and if we don’t exfoliate, it would take a long time to shed on it’s own and it also leads to ingrown hair, rough patches, debris and dead skin sitting on the skin’s surface.

Exfoliating regularly helps get rid of the dead skin cells and also helps in faster regeneration of the new layer of skin.

Let’s see some benefits of exfoliation:

  • Unclogs pores
  • Removes dead skin cells
  • Makes skin smooth and supple
  • Helps get rid of ingrown hair
  • Helps get rid of uneven tan
  • Removes the dirt and debris sitting on the skin
  • Helps in blood circulation
  • Helps loosen and remove the blackheads
  • In the long term, also helps in producing collagen keeping skin softer, smoother and wrinkle free
  • Helps reduce cellulite

So there are numerous benefits of exfoliation and it is the key to a soft, smooth skin.

I have been using and loving the mCaffeine Coffee Body Scrub currently. Coffee is the best ingredient when it comes to body scrubbing/exfoliation.

About mCaffeine: mCaffeine is India’s 1st Caffeinated Personal Care Brand. All of mCaffeine’s products are infused with caffeine. Caffeine being a superfood for hair and skin, it’s an extension to the hyperactive lifestyle and individualistic identity.

All mCaffeine products are SLS-Paraben Free, Vegan, Clinically tested, cruelty free, Made Safe Certified

This scrub has the goodness of both coffee and coconut. Coffee polishes skin, exfoliates, removes tan, dead cells and reduces cellulite. The caffeine in coffee tones the skin and coconut moisturizes and nourishes the skin.

The texture is very fine and not at all harsh, so it is even safe for sensitive skin. It comes with a wooden spoon which helps you scoop out the product. Take some product in your palms, mix with a little bit of water and exfoliate all of your body parts, especially the parts where we tend to get rougher, drier skin like elbows and knees.

It smells absolutely amazing, if you love coffee, the entire bath experience when using the scrub is sensorial and the whole bathroom smells like the Coorg coffee plantation.

I love the ingredients and it leaves the skin super soft post exfoliation, and because of the coconut oil skin feels moisturized and hydrated.

Coffee Body scrubs are gender neutral and this can be used by both men and women. Men need to keep their skin soft too 😀

How often should you exfoliate? I would say once a week is good enough. You will need about 4 spoons of this scrub for exfoliating the entire body, so this tub will last you quite long.

It’s a total value for money at Rs.449/-

Overall, I really like this mCaffeine Coffee Body Scrub and would recommend it.

The Nature’s Co. Coffee Face Scrub Review

The Nature’s Co. Coffee Face Scrub Review


I had mentioned about the Nature’s Co. Christmas Hampers here..They have a Berry Hamper and a Chocolate Hamper in a special silver tray packaging and at a discounted price only for Christmas…the offer is valid till 1st January 2012..

The Chocolate Hamper consists of the Coffee Face Scrub, Chocolate Mint Lip Balm and the Chocolate Body Butter…I am reviewing the Coffee Face Scrub. Its a part of their Earthborne Range.

What the Company claims: Pamper the coffee lover in you with our invigorating Coffee Face Scrub. It is full of anti-microbial and antioxidant properties that sloughs dead skin, boosts circulation and imparts an instant radiant glow. Wet your face and neck, massage using light circular motions. Rinse off and pat skin dry. Can be used daily. Go ahead and get addicted!

Net Wt: 125 ml (4.2 fl. oz)
MRP: Rs. 525.00

Ingredients: Each 100g contains: Coffee extract 0.5%, Coffee powder 1%, Coffee grits 3%, Vegetable Glycerin 6.5%, Olive Oil 1%, Cream Base, Aroma and Natural Preservatives Q.S

Now obviously since its a coffee scrub it would have a coffee aroma and coffee grits for exfoliation..the smell is strong Madras coffee one ! I quite love the smell…the texture is just fine..not too harsh and not too mild..but I guess sensitive skin should stay away. The base is very nice and creamy though. Coffee is very good for detox and cellulite too.

Pros:

1. Love the coffee smell.
2. Perfect scrub texture.
3. Scrubs off dead skin or dry flakes and without being too harsh or dry on the skin.
4. Its quick and easy.
5. Tube form is easy to use and carry around.
6. Its creamy enough to massage on the skin.
7. Would last long.

Cons:

1.  A little expensive.
2. Granules can be a little harsh for sensitive skin.

No other cons as such for this..I quite liked this..and would surely recommend it to others.
