THE SECRETS OF EXFOLIATION FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN
Reveal your radiant and healthy-looking glow
Exfoliation is a key step to reveal radiant and healthy-looking skin. At Maria Galland Paris, we believe in gentle and regular exfoliation combined with optimal hydration for visible long-term results. Let’s explore the secrets of successful exfoliation and the essentials to keep a healthy-looking and beautiful skin.
Why exfoliate your skin?
Your skin continuously regenerates, releasing impurities, including dead cells. Exfoliation removes these dead cells from the skin’s surface, promoting cell renewal. It helps prevent imperfections, even out the complexion, and prepares your skin to better absorb targeted treatments that follow.
Our must-have exfoliants for the face ; which one will be yours?
Our 41 | Gentle Exfoliating Cream for the Face is ideal for a gentle yet effective mechanical exfoliation. With natural and biodegradable exfoliating particles, it removes dead cells and impurities, helping to reveal smoother skin and a radiant complexion.
The creamy texture of this scrub makes the application enjoyable, facilitating a gentle and soothing massage. From the first use, your skin appears more smooth and thoroughly cleansed.
The exfoliation of the 66 | Gentle Exfoliator relies on the chemical action of enzymes for an exfoliating effect. This scrub offers complete and gentle exfoliation. Its wax texture transforms into a light and delicate fluid, facilitating a uniform and pleasant application.
Regular use helps your skin to get healthier looking, more radiant, and better prepared to absorb moisturizing treatments.
Our 63 | Overnight Peeling Lotion is perfect for a gentle yet effective chemical exfoliation. With a blend of exfoliating ingredients, it works overnight to remove dead cells and impurities, revealing smoother skin and a refreshed complexion.
The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, making it a breeze to apply before bed. Crafted for nightly use, it's the perfect solution for those wary of harsh peeling products. From the first use, your skin appears more refined and thoroughly revitalized, displaying a renewed complexion night after night.
Is exfoliation suited for all skin types?
Each skin type benefits from exfoliation:
For dry skin: Exfoliation helps remove dead cells that can accumulate and give your skin a dull, rough appearance. It also allows moisturizers to penetrate better, leaving your skin soft and supple.
For oily and combination skin: It helps unclog pores, reduces blackheads, and prevents imperfections. By removing excess sebum and dead cells, exfoliation helps balance sebum production and maintain smooth, soft skin.
For sensitive skin: Gentle and regular exfoliation stimulates cell renewal. It helps even out the complexion and improve skin texture while avoiding overly abrasive products.
The frequency of exfoliation depends on your skin’s preference. Sensitive skin may only need it once a week, while normal to oily skin can handle two to three times per week.
What are the two ways to exfoliate your skin?
There are two methods of exfoliation:
- Mechanical Exfoliation, which uses exfoliating particles to remove dead cells. Results are visible from the first use, and your skin immediately appears softer and smoother. Our 41 | Gentle Exfoliating Cream for the Face and 920 | Gentle Caressing Exfoliator rely on mechanical exfoliation.
- Chemical Exfoliation, which utilizes acids (AHA, BHA, PHA) and/or enzymes to dissolve dead cells. It offers uniform and generally more gentle exfoliation. This exfoliation type is the one used for our 66 | Exfoliator Scrub and our 63 | Overnight Peeling Lotion.
Why exfoliate your face and body differently?
The face requires special attention as the skin is more delicate. Use gentle exfoliants, either mechanical or chemical, depending on your skin’s preferences. Regular exfoliation helps even out the complexion, reduce imperfections, and prepare your skin for subsequent treatments.
Body skin is thicker than facial skin. A body scrub smooths your skin, prevents ingrown hairs, and promotes better absorption of moisturizing lotions. The 920 | Gentle Caressing Exfoliator is your go-to for smooth, radiant skin. Infused with natural exfoliants, it gently buffs away dead skin cells, prevents ingrown hairs, and enhances lotion absorption.
