Summer is getting near and will officially kick out soon. So it's now, more than ever, the time to prepare our skin to expose itself to the sun, the air and the outdoors.
One of the main measures to adopt is exfoliation or scrubbing, also known as gommage in French. You know me so you are aware, because I'm always recommending products, that I'm a fan of gommages and I go for luxury brands and also homemade preparations, such as those with coarse salt and olive oil.
I asked Myriam Jerusalmi, in charge of the Spa at the Yoo Punta del Este, to tell us why it's so important to exfoliate from time to time...
"Exfoliation is essential to eliminate toxins and dead cells deposited in the outer surfaces of the dermis. Removing dead cells is key because if not they form a barrier that does not allow the absorption of the products and creams that we use daily. And this, in summer, is basic, specially because we use lots of sun-blocks and moisturizing post-solar lotions. Exfoliation must be done on our body and face. At the Yoo Spa we use gommages based on honey and lemon or mineral salts, always depending on the skin type of your client.
When finishing the scrubbing routine, it is important to nourish the skin, for it is now when you'll have it in the best situation to receive all kinds of treatments. In your face you must follow the steps we all know: cleansing milk, toning lotion and hydrating cream.
At the Spa we offer Givenchy products, which have great experience in the area and are a guarantee of excellent quality."
Thank you Myriam! And not to lose time... everyone, to exfoliate!
