In the summer or skin works overtime to keep us hydrated and protected by increasing the amount of sebum or oils to maintain hydration within our skin and shield our skin from external irritants. We also use more sunscreen that needs to be well-removed each day. If not, it can block our pores and cause a cascade of factors that can worsen the texture of our skin, which can lead to comedones and acne. Skin congestion can also be affected by sun exposure and environmental irritants that can cause our skin cells to multiply faster to repair the damage.

One of the simplest and easiest ways to decongest and rejuvenate our skin is through exfoliation. Exfoliating removes the most superficial layer of dead skin to reveal brighter and radiant skin.  When choosing an exfoliant, it is best to select a physical exfoliant to avoid sensitizing your skin.

For the face, the BioLove exfoliant 1 -2 times per week or even daily. Exfoliating frequently with this product will ensure deep cleansing and exfoliation of the skin.

The Passion Fruit Exfoliating Bar is our summer favorite for its uplifting and invigorating citrus aromatherapy synergy. Prebiotics and rooibos tea leaves that gently remove dead skin cells while nourishing and cleansing your skin.

For sensitive skin and babies, we recommend the Konjac Sponge.

Konjac root has been in use for centuries as a food and textile. When used as a sponge, its cloud-like texture is ideal for sensitive and delicate skin types and will not irritate. The sponge can be used daily or as needed to enhance any foaming cleanser on the face and body.
