You might be cleansing your body with body exfoliators and water every day, moisturizing with the most expensive body lotion, and slathering your hands with the best SPF on the market, but does that make your skin healthy? Most probably not! If you are not exfoliating, your skin is not as healthy as you think it to be.
Exfoliation is necessary for healthy skin because as we age, the process of cell regeneration slows down and the skin cells shed slower. When old skin cells pile up on the surface of the skin, the upper skin starts looking dull, dry, and rough.
But what is unhealthier is the clogging of pores by the excess oils that build upon the dead skin cells resulting in blemishes and acne. No matter how much you wash or moisturize your skin, until and unless you remove the barrier of dead skin cells, it won’t penetrate your skin or work its wonders. Hence, for your skin to look fresh and rejuvenating, it is essential to exfoliate your skin once or twice a week.
To save your time, we have curated below some of the best body exfoliators available in India currently.
Best Body Exfoliators for all Skin Types
