Peeling – the key to radiance, vitality and balanced skin

What do dull skin, dry patches and tired pores have in common? They are all signals that it may be time to exfoliate! But what exactly is exfoliation, why is it important and how do you find the right method for your skin type? Let us guide you into the world of natural beauty 💚

What is exfoliation?

Exfoliation – or peeling – is about helping your skin get rid of dead skin cells that naturally accumulate on its surface. Your skin has its own system for cell renewal, where new cells replace the old ones that migrate to the surface of the skin and eventually fall off. However, over time, and as we age, this process slows down.

The result? Skin can feel dry, dull and lifeless. By exfoliating, you help your skin to:

🌿 Stimulate cell renewal

🌿 Improve moisture content

🌿 Increase radiance and even out skin tone

🌿 Prepare the skin for serums and creams

Mechanical vs. chemical exfoliation – which is right for you?

There are two main types of exfoliation: mechanical and chemical . Both have their strengths – and you can even combine them!

Mechanical peeling

Mechanical exfoliation involves small grains or fibers that you massage in to physically remove dead skin cells. Perfect for:

🌿Normal to dry skin

🌿To instantly remove flaking and dryness

🌿A tired skin that lacks glow

👉Recommended product :

Eco by Sonya Super Acai Exfoliator - a facial scrub with magnesium salts that both exfoliates and stimulates circulation. Choose how powerful you want the peeling, adding moisture melts the salts and becomes a gentle and gentle exfoliation.

Inlight Super-Food Face Mask – a gentle yet effective detox mask with botanical extracts and baobab seeds for gentle exfoliation. It nourishes and brightens the skin.

👉For the body :
Eco by Sonya Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub – a powerful body scrub with pink Himalayan salt, coconut and lemongrass. Perfect for detox and circulation boost!

Chemical peel

Chemical peels use acids – usually natural but can also be synthetic – to dissolve dead skin cells without the need for scrubbing. Depending on your skin type, you can choose:

🌿AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) – For dry, mature or pigmented skin

🌿PHA (Poly Hydroxy Acid) – For sensitive, dehydrated skin

🌿BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) – For oily, acne-prone skin with clogged pores

👉Recommended product :
Inika Renew & Restore Peel - contains both natural AHA and PHA. A real quick fix for the skin that gives instant radiance.

👉Tips for combination :
Inika Organic Phytofuse Renew Exfoliator – combines natural AHA from fruit with exfoliating grains for a double-action exfoliation.

How often should you exfoliate?

Once or twice a week is enough for most skin types. Milder peels can be used more often, while more powerful acids require longer recovery. And don't forget:
Sun protection is a must – especially with acid products!

👉Recommended product :
Sol de Ibiza SPF50 Natural Sunscreen – protects the skin effectively without unnecessary additives and is perfect to combine with an active skincare routine.

Don't forget your scalp in your exfoliation routine!
Just like the skin on your face, your scalp needs a little extra love. Regular exfoliation helps stimulate blood circulation, remove buildup, and create the best conditions for healthy, shiny hair.

Give your whole body a fresh start – from head to toe!

👉Recommended product :
MaterNatura Purifying Peeling with Tea Tree - a purifying scalp peel that eliminates dandruff, dryness, impurities and excess sebum. Perfect for giving the scalp a fresh feeling.

The ritual that makes a difference

Exfoliation isn't just about results – it's also an opportunity to take care of yourself. Create a great Thursday routine for the weekend or treat yourself to a Sunday ritual with an exfoliation, mask and facial massage. Your skin (and soul) will thank you.

Exfoliation is key to:

🌿 Luster, glow and more even skin tone

🌿 Fewer clogged pores

🌿 Better absorption of your skincare products

🌿 A stronger and healthier skin barrier

Whether you choose mechanical, chemical or combined exfoliation – always choose natural, gentle and sustainable. At Nordic Natural Beauty you will find carefully selected products that work with – not against – the skin.
