Frequently asked questions
Shop face exfoliator & peels online
The Body Shop's face exfoliators and peels gently remove dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin. The range includes gentle scrubs for sensitive skin and more intensive liquid peels for a deeper cleanse, all made with nature-inspired ingredients and Community Fair Trade materials to work in harmony with your skin.
How often should I use a face exfoliator?
- Most skin types do well with a gentle face exfoliator 2-3 times per week. Sensitive or dry skin may prefer once weekly, while oilier or congestion-prone skin can often tolerate more frequent use. If skin feels tight, red or irritated, reduce frequency. The Body Shop's exfoliating peels are designed to complement your routine without disrupting the skin's natural balance.
Should I apply face scrub to wet or dry skin?
- For best results, apply face scrub to damp skin. Water helps the product spread evenly and reduces friction to avoid irritation. Gently massage in circular motions, especially around the nose and chin, using light pressure so the exfoliating particles do the work. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with moisturiser to replenish hydration.
What ingredients should I look for in an exfoliating peel?
The Body Shop liquid peels use a gel-to-peel texture with citric acid as a gentle exfoliant to lift away dead cells. They also feature hydrating sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), antioxidant vitamin C derivatives like 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, and botanical extracts such as Camu Camu and Edelweiss. As you massage, the gel clumps up to physically lift impurities for smoother, more radiant skin.
How should I use a face scrub or exfoliator?
Apply face scrub to clean, damp skin after cleansing. Massage a small amount in gentle circular motions, focusing on congested areas like the T-zone and avoiding the eye area. Use light pressure for 30-60 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water. Pat the skin dry and follow immediately with a moisturiser to lock in hydration.
