A deep exfoliation for new skin

New year, new skin. Therefore, a deep exfoliation is the most advisable thing to do to make it look vital, bright and renewed for 2021 that is almost here. We recommend two brands with a vegan seal: BCL SPA with its sugar scrubs with antioxidants and a moisturizing effect, and CALIFORNIA MANGO with its softening exfoliating cream based on clay and refined pumice stone.

Now that the year is over, it is a good time for our skin to regenerate cellularly thanks to a complete exfoliation, restoring its vitality, firmness and flexibility, also favoring circulation and oxidation, a key process so that it can breathe optimally. In the world of cosmetics there are hundreds of products to exfoliate the skin, many with similar formulas and ingredients. Our recommendations are natural and totally vegan and cruelty-free, based on mango and clay, in the case of California Mango, or sugar in the case of BCL SPA, both North American firms, from the sunny Californian coast.

Sugar as an exfoliant

Who was going to tell us that a product as maligned in the field of food as sugar, would be one of our best allies to cleanse the skin in depth and eliminate the remains that may remain from other cosmetics, such as makeup. BCL SPA's sugar scrub is one of its star products on these dates, along with its essential oils, as they moisturize the skin and lightly exfoliate it, leaving it soft, silky and fully restored. Enhanced with argan oil from Morocco and other natural oils and extracts, these scrubs do not need water for rinsing either, since it is clean and it is only necessary to moisten the hands and rub so that the sugar dissolves and the aromas are impregnated in Our skin.

Among the recommendations for this time of year, Karen Miller, the firm's brand manager, highlights honey and milk, green mint and vanilla, pitahaya or dragon fruit, and jasmine and coconut: "For example, the latter is formulated with rice to make the texture smoother. It has many properties that make it unique, it is rich in vitamin B, in phytic acid that allows impurities and dead skin cells to be removed and it is also anti-inflammatory and hypoallergenic”.

Clay scrubs and natural ingredients

Another classic in the world of beauty is clay, most commonly used in masks. The firm California Mango has it as the basis of its mango scrub that also cleanses and conditions. In many beauty centers it is used in manicures, pedicures, cabin and spa treatments, with refined pumice stone that exfoliates naturally. It is easily removed and does not leave a greasy feeling.
