You see your girlfriend, sister, wife or mum do it all the time. So you Mr. Perplexed Male, might be asking: what’s the big fuss with exfoliation?
Your skin’s job is to protect you day and night from the elements of the outside world and part of this process involves the constant regeneration of cells. You might not be aware of it, but your body produces new skin cells nonstop around the clock. Sometimes old skin cells don’t slough off as well as they should, leading to dry skin, ingrown hair and breakouts.

The skin on your face is quite different to a woman’s. It contains larger pores, whiskers, a denser supply of blood vessels, and produces more sweat. Put all these factors together and you’ve got a recipe for attracting oil, dirt and grime – which ultimately leads to rougher skin, ingrown hairs and breakouts.

Exfoliation should leave your skin feeling smoother, not red and irritated. Therefore, only use gentle and natural exfoliants like our Rugby Facial Scrub, rather than harsh chemical scrubs, and keep exfoliation to a maximum of twice a week.
Regular exfoliation has a number of benefits – It can help slow down signs of ageing, as well as control acne breakouts and pesky ingrown hairs. So in short, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be exfoliating.
