• What is the importance of exfoliation in anti aging skincare ?

  The outermost layer of our skin is known as the epidermis. And new cells are continuously formed in the innermost layer of the epidermis. These cells, over a period of about 27 days, travel up to the outermost layer of our skin, dying slowly; and then get sloughed off. This is a continuous process. As we age, the balance between the production of these new cells, and sloughing off the dead cells, is upset. This results in accumulation of dead cells on the surface of the skin; giving it a dry, scaly, rough and dull appearance. Exfoliation or scrubbing helps us remove the excessive dead cells from the surface; smoothing the face and allowing younger skin (cells) to surface. Moreover, the process itself, promotes cell renewal, by stimulating the blood circulation. This two-way action makes exfoliation and important part of any anti-aging skin-care regimen.

  How does Cinnamon oil help exfoliation ?

  Cinnamon oil is highly anti-bacterial and anti-microbial; and mildly astringent. These properties help fight acne and other skin infections; while helping ease any redness and inflammation. Cinnamon oil is also a rich source of anti-oxidants; neutralizing free radicals; and delaying the aging of our skin. Moreover, because of its warming effect, cinnamon oil stimulates blood circulation; granting your skin an increased supply of nutrients. This too reduces acne break-outs, as well as improves the overall health of the skin.

  How do walnuts make a good exfoliation scrub ?

  Walnuts shells are hard and fibrous, making them naturally abrasive; perhaps a little too abrasive for our skin. However, when crushed to a fine powder, they are an effective natural exfoliant ingredient. As their angular, multi-faceted particles retain the same hardness, yet owing to the fine particle size, are rendered gently abrasive. Walnut scrub helps restore the natural exfoliation process of the skin; while ridding the epidermis of f the dead cell accumulation. It is also effective in removing impurities from our skin, which are not taken care of by routine cleansing. Thus, walnut scrubs smooth the skin and eliminate dullness, but gently.
