Body Exfoliators

A body exfoliator does two things: it removes the dead cells that make skin feel rough, and it helps the cream that follows absorb. A mechanical scrub (salt, sugar) works immediately; an acid exfoliator (lactic, glycolic) works more slowly but more gently and evenly.

PURE LAB stocks body exfoliators from QMS Medicosmetics, Juliette Armand and Janssen Cosmetics.

How to use one:

• 1–2 times a week on damp skin, with circular movements.
• Spend a little longer on rough areas – elbows, knees, heels.
• Apply cream straight afterwards, or the skin will feel tight.
• Do not sunbathe on freshly exfoliated skin – wait at least a day.
