Natural exfoliants are frequently used in skincare masks and scrubs for a number of skin issues. Herbs, seeds, fruit acids, enzymes and certain botanical extracts work to slough off dead skin cells, treat acne, and firm and brighten the skin. Organic exfoliants take this concept one step further by leaving out synthetic ingredients and plants grown using pesticides.The formulas are gentle enough for sensitive skin while providing professional results.
The more commonly used natural exfoliants are various dried herbs and seeds within scrubs. Enzymes from papaya, pineapple, cranberry and pumpkin work by gently removing dead cells from the skinโs surface. Fruit acids help promote cellular turnover and firmness in the skin. Botanical extracts, such as willow bark and sugar cane, help heal and prevent acne.
