Buff Away the Winter Blues with Source Vitál

Spring is more than just a season—it's a fresh start. As the world comes back to life, your skin deserves renewal, too. You've battled cool, dry air for the past few months, and your complexion might look lackluster and need a wake-up call.

What's the secret to stepping into Spring with a fresh, dewy glow? Exfoliation.

What is Exfoliation?

Exfoliation involves removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, revealing the fresher, younger cells beneath. It also helps unclog pores, improves circulation, and allows the skin to absorb any products applied on top. It's also one of the most transformative steps to incorporate into your skincare routine. It's a seasonal reset for your complexion, helping you shed the old to reveal the new.

For Face

Your face deserves extra special care when it comes to exfoliation. You must pick gentle yet potent natural exfoliants that remove buildup without stripping moisture. Ingredients like seaweed and finely milled volcanic pumice are excellent at polishing away dull skin while keeping it nourished. For a gentle yet invigorating exfoliation experience, try our Algae Deep Scrub. It's rich in antioxidants, minerals, and essential fatty acids to keep your skin balanced, healthy, and hydrated.

Looking for the benefits of manual and gentle chemical exfoliation? Try our Silt Scrub. Colloidal Freshwater Silt contains humic acids, which provide similar benefits to alpha hydroxy acids, leaving you with a smoother and more toned-looking complexion. Or, if you're looking for a natural alternative to chemical peels, check out our Aroma Peel.

For Body

Much like your face, your body likely needs some post-winter TLC.  Dry brushing before your shower stimulates circulation and promotes lymphatic drainage, while a nourishing body scrub removes dry patches and boosts hydration. Look for scrubs infused with natural oils to exfoliate and moisturize simultaneously.

Many body scrubs are too abrasive, leading to irritation and dryness. Our Body Scrub formula uses a creamy lotion base to cleanse and comfort the most delicate skin. We add gentle yet effective, natural exfoliant particles and essential oils such as Lavender, Lemongrass, and Peppermint.

Try our Fango Scrub to promote clarity and balance and a natural glow to upset skin. It's made with Dead Sea Mud, Red Algae, and essential oils. Unlike other harsh scrubs, Fango features ultra-fine particles that won't tear the skin or cause redness and irritations. Best of all, it can be used on the body and the face. It is normally used for acneic and oily complexions.

Tips for Proper Exfoliation

Consistency is Key– Try gently exfoliating a few times a week. Two to three times is perfect for most skin types.

Hydrate & Protect – Follow exfoliation with a nourishing moisturizer and always apply SPF, as fresh skin is more sensitive to the sun.

Listen to Your Skin – If you notice irritation, change the frequency or switch to a more gentle exfoliant.

Don't Forget Your Lips – A light buff with a scrub keeps them smooth and soft, ready for all the bright spring lip colors.

Prep Your Skin – Exfoliation also prepares your skin for an even self-tanning application, ensuring you're fully prepared to bare more skin once the warmer weather arrives.
