From Dull to Bright: The Power of Double Exfoliation

As the golden days of summer soften into cooler evenings, our skin often carries the season’s story: long afternoons under the sun, days spent outdoors, and layers of sunscreen protecting us along the way. While these moments are beautiful, they can leave behind signs of the season: dullness, dryness, clogged pores, and a little unevenness in tone.

This is the perfect time to pause, nurture, and reset. And the best part? It doesn’t have to be complicated. With a quick, two-step double exfoliation ritual, you can easily restore your skin’s natural radiance and softness while caring for yourself in a way that feels soothing, refreshing, and deeply restorative.


Why Your Skin Needs Extra Care After Summer

Sun, sunscreen, and warm weather adventures can leave your skin craving renewal:

  • Sun exposure speeds up skin cell turnover but also causes damage, leaving skin dull and uneven.
  • Sunscreen and sweat (both essential!) can mix with dirt, leading to clogged pores.
  • Heat and humidity can increase oil production, causing late-summer breakouts.
  • This is where a gentle double exfoliation ritual comes in—your skin’s reset button.

What Makes Double Exfoliation So Effective

Double exfoliation combines chemical exfoliation (using gentle fruit- or sugar-derived acids) with manual exfoliation (a soft scrub) to refresh and renew your skin from multiple angles:

  • Step 1: Dissolve dull, dead skin cells with a gentle, science-backed peel like our Coconut Lactic Peel.
  • Step 2: Polish away remaining buildup with a refreshing scrub tailored to your skin type.

It’s simple, quick, and effective. The results are immediate: brighter, smoother, healthier-looking skin.


A Quick & Easy Shower Ritual

Your end-of-summer glow routine doesn’t have to take extra time. In fact, it’s designed to slip right into your shower:

  1. Wash your face as you normally would.
  2. Apply the Coconut Lactic Peel. The creamy, coconut-rich formula glides on effortlessly.
  3. Take care of your hair and body while the peel does the work.
  4. Rinse after 15 minutes and follow with your chosen manual scrub.
  5. Polish gently to lift away dead skin cells and reveal refreshed, silky-smooth skin.

That’s it: luxurious care in a single shower. What could feel better? Remember to always follow with deep hydration.


Step 1: Renew with Our Coconut Lactic Peel

At the heart of this ritual is our Coconut Lactic Peel, a creamy treatment powered by 5% sugar-derived lactic acid. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin yet effective enough to brighten, smooth, and hydrate.

  • Softly dissolves dull, dead skin cells
  • Boosts hydration for plumper, more supple skin
  • Brightens uneven tone for a naturally luminous glow

A bonus tip: This peel isn’t just for your face. Anywhere your skin looks sun-worn, dry, or dull- shoulders, décolleté, backs of the hands, arms, legs. Apply just as you would on your face, wait 15 minutes, rinse, and follow with one of our Sugar Scrubs for full-body renewal.


Step 2: Choose Your Perfect Manual Scrub

After the peel, choose the exfoliant that best supports your skin’s unique needs:

For Breakout-Prone or Oily Skin

Seaweed & Mint Exfoliating Scrub
Cool, refreshing, and invigorating, this scrub uses finely milled bamboo, raw honey, mineral-rich seaweed, and peppermint essential oil to deeply clean pores, sweep away impurities, and leave your skin balanced and clear.

For Dry, Sensitive, or Aging Skin

Cucumber Face Polish
This silky, ultra-gentle polish combines jojoba beads with soothing cucumber extract to refine texture without stripping moisture. Perfect for softening fine lines, calming irritation, and restoring your skin’s natural smoothness.


Don’t Forget the Rest of Your Body

After months of summer sun, our bodies need just as much love as our faces. The skin on our legs, especially, can get pretty dry and rough. The Coconut Lactic Peel can be used anywhere your skin looks dry, dull, or overexposed, followed by one of our Sugar Scrubs for softer, smoother skin. 


Preventing Late-Summer Breakouts and Ingrown Hairs

Sweat, sunscreen, and long days outdoors can create the perfect storm for clogged pores and breakouts. Dead skin starts building up faster, resulting in breakouts and ingrown hairs - sometimes in unexpected places.

To keep your skin happy and healthy:

  • Cleanse gently but thoroughly each evening
  • Double Exfoliate 2–3 times per week
  • Experiencing ingrown hairs? Try the Willow Bark Pore Refining Serum after exfoliating.
  • Follow with hydration to keep your skin barrier strong


Your Seasonal Skin Reset

Think of this as more than skincare. It’s a small ritual of self-care, a way to honor your skin and the season it has carried you through. With our Coconut Lactic Peel, paired with either the Seaweed & Mint Exfoliating Scrub or Cucumber Face Polish, you can bring back softness, clarity, and glow—quickly, easily, and beautifully.

Whether it’s your face, shoulders, arms, or legs, this ritual helps your whole body feel renewed, refreshed, and ready for the shift into autumn.
