Relax and have beautiful skin with a facial scrub

Just because we're going out less during this period of confinement, doesn't mean we shouldn't take care of our skin, quite the contrary. It's important to pamper your skin to keep a purified and radiant complexion. Plus, isn't it nice to take care of yourself and relax by having a facial treatment?

Exfoliation is one of the facial treatments that should be done at least once a week; it will make your face soft and radiant.

Choosing a scrub suited to your skin type

Before you begin, it is essential to choose the right scrub for your skin type.

For combination to oily skin, it is recommended to use a purifying scrub to unclog pores.

For normal to combination skin, it is recommended to do a gentle scrub to cleanse the skin.

For dry or sensitive skin, it is recommended to use a moisturizing scrub to avoid drying out the skin even more. You should choose a soft, melting texture that will envelop the skin, moisturize it and, above all, not attack it.

For mature skin, it is recommended to do a micro-bead scrub to eliminate dead cells and energize the skin.

At Dr Pierre Ricaud, there is a clay peel that adapts to all skin types. It gently exfoliates thanks to its formula that contains clay and apricot kernel powder. The skin is clear and radiant.

How to make a perfect scrub?

There are 4 steps to a successful facial scrub.

^Step 1 : Prepare your face, tie your hair up to keep it out of the way and wet your face with lukewarm water.

^Step 2 : Apply your scrub using light circular movements. Take advantage of this moment to relax and enjoy the exfoliating and massaging effect that the scrub provides. Do not rub too hard, the scrub should be gentle and soothing.

^Step 3 : Rinse the scrub with warm water and be careful to remove everything. Once your skin is rinsed, pat your face dry with a towel. Your skin will be soft and your complexion will be radiant.

^Step 4 : Moisturize your skin. After exfoliation, it is important to apply a day cream adapted to your skin type to prevent it from drying out.

This exfoliation ritual should be done once a week to have a soft and radiant face while allowing yourself a moment of relaxation.
