Exfoliants

Support your skin’s natural cycle with an African Botanics face exfoliator 

Factors such as age, lifestyle, seasonal changes and the environment can all play a role in slowing down epidermal cellular turnover; the skin’s natural exfoliation cycle. This can leave skin sluggish, dull and congested and enhance the appearance of fine lines. 

Incorporating an exfoliating scrub or exfoliating face wash into your routine can reinvigorate the cycle and support the skin’s natural turnover mechanism.

The best face exfoliator to select is one which gently lifts away debris and impurities without causing irritation or dryness. Our range of exfoliating products for the face respect the skin barrier and natural moisturizing factors (NMF) present on the outer layer of the skin. 

African Botanics exfoliators work harmoniously with your complexion rather than stripping it of protective, much-needed oils and moisture.
