### How to exfoliate properly?

The first step to successful skin care with a scrub is choosing the right product. It is important that the scrub is not too aggressive and is suited to your skin type. When applying it, be gentle and do not press too hard, as excessive rubbing can damage the skin's protective barrier. Massage the skin with gentle circular movements and avoid sensitive areas such as the area around the eyes. After exfoliating, always moisturise the skin with a suitable cream to restore moisture and protect the epidermis.

### How often should you exfoliate?

How often you exfoliate depends on your skin type:

- **Dry and sensitive skin**: Once a week with a gentle scrub, to prevent irritation and dryness.

- **Normal to oily skin**: You can exfoliate two to three times a week, as this skin type renews itself faster and needs more frequent cleansing.
