Why Exfoliating is the Secret to Smooth and Radiant Skin

Why Exfoliating is the Secret to Smooth and Radiant Skin

If your skin ever feels dull, rough, or just not as radiant as you'd like, the missing link might be exfoliation. This simple yet powerful step can work wonders for your skin, especially when done consistently and correctly. Soothe &Splash has got you covered. Our Life’s Peachy Body Exfoliator not only has physical exfoliators but also contains AHA’s and BHA’s.

What Is Body Exfoliation?

Body exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. Over time, dead skin builds up, making your skin look uneven, dull, or flaky. By gently sloughing away this layer, you reveal fresh, healthy skin underneath—and set the stage for maximum moisture absorption and better overall skin health.

The Key Benefits of Body Exfoliation

1. Smooth, Glowing Skin

The number one reason people love exfoliating is That instant silky-smooth feel. A good body scrub buffs away rough patches and uneven texture, giving you a healthy, natural glow.

2. Boosted Product Absorption

Ever notice how moisturizers or oils just sit on your skin sometimes? Exfoliating clears away the barrier of dead skin, allowing your body moisturizer to absorb more effectively. That means better hydration and better results.

3. Preps Skin for Shaving

Using a body scrub before shaving helps lift ingrown hairs and reduces the risk of razor bumps. It creates a smoother surface, so your razor glides more easily and closely, giving you that clean, close shave.

4. Helps Prevent Breakouts

If you’re prone to body acne or clogged pores (especially on the back or shoulders), regular exfoliation can help keep them in check by keeping pores clear.


How Often Should You Use a Body Scrub?

A common question we get is: how often should I exfoliate my body?

The answer depends on your skin type:

  • Normal to oily skin: 2–3 times a week
  • Dry or sensitive skin: 1–2 times a week
  • If you're new to exfoliating: Start once a week and work your way up

Pro tip: Always follow exfoliation with a moisturiser to lock in hydration and soothe the skin.


What to Look For in a Body Scrub

Not all scrubs are created equal. Choose one with:

  • Gentle and micro exfoliants (like organic walnut granules)
  • Nourishing oils or hydrating ingredients to prevent dryness
  • A refreshing scent for that spa-like experience at home

  • Avoid over-exfoliating—less is more when it comes to keeping your skin barrier healthy.
  • Pair with a Blissful Retreat Body Moisturiser right after.
