Exfoliation rids the body of dry, dull skin by removing dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin, the epidermis. Although your body can naturally shed up to 40,000 skin cells per minute, adding exfoliation to your regular routine can leave skin looking bright and feeling refreshed.

1. Improve tone and texture: Exfoliating rough or dry skin is the perfect way to rejuvenate. Skin will feel smoother and softer!  This Buff body wash uses apricot seed flower and walnut shell powder to gently slough away dead skin cells and leave skin smooth and glowing.

2. Help prevent breakouts: Exfoliation helps clean out clogged pores, which notoriously lead to breakouts due to trapped oil beneath the surface. Planet Beach’s Polish facial exfoliator uses ginseng and natural menthol to deep clean and provide an invigorating cooling sensation.

3. Encourage product absorption: Dead skin cells or clogged pores can block the absorption of beauty products like moisturizers and lotions, as well as spray tans! Exfoliating prior to product use provides a blank slate of skin, which allows the product effects to last longer.

4. Prevent the signs of aging: Fresh, exfoliated skin looks and feels younger than dry, dull skin. Dead skin cells make fine lines and wrinkles appear more noticeable. Exfoliate to rid your face and body of the dead skin and reveal the vibrant skin beneath! Our Scrub cream buffs and moisturizes with the power of volcanic rock crystals and pineapple and papaya enzymes.

 

Have we convinced you yet? If you don’t already exfoliate weekly, add it to your beauty regimen ASAP! Your skin will thank you. To see Planet Beach’s face/body exfoliators and other products, visit our online shop!

 

For those that know me, know that I’m joking with that opening statement, but like I always say, “If you can’t love yourself, how’s anyone else ever going to love you? lol”

We all know that smooth and flawless skin will always be on trend, but unfortunately it tends to be difficult to maintain. Well, at least that is what I thought until I was introduced to pbRenew 3-Step lines from Planet Beach.

The Perfect 3-Step Kits To Fit Any Of Your Needs!

The Perfect 3-Step Kits To Fit Any Of Your Needs!

The pbRenew product line has something for everyone, whether you are suffering with troublesome acne or you simply want to maintain awesome skin (some of you are just that lucky!). If you suffer with acne, like I have – off and on throughout the years – and struggled with confidence as a result, pbRenew Clear is the product line for you. PbRenew Clear is the perfect solution for redness control and blemishes. In the past, I’ve had quite an extensive, time-consuming skincare regime that included a mix of prescription and over-the-counter medications. Now, all I use is the pbRenew Clear line with a few sessions of Red Light Therapy each week and my skin looks and feels better than ever! The main ingredient, Aloe Barbadensis, is a botanical extract that acts as an anti-bacterial. Not only does it tame any acne you may have, but it also smoothes and heals rough skin. I keep this product on hand at all times, just in case I’m having a stressful day at the office and get an unexpected breakout! Breakouts happen and as unfair as it is, now there is a way that we can fight back!

Acne not your main problem? PbRenew Maintain may be what you are looking for. After I started the pbRenew Clear, I talked one of my girlfriends into trying this line of products and she swears by them now! This product focuses on keeping your skin smooth and tone. Unfortunately, wrinkles happen and they are basically inevitable.  Damn you time and aging! But, that does not mean trying to prevent wrinkles is out of the question. PbRenew Maintain reduces fine lines and small imperfections, all while leaving skin soft and flawless.

Are you looking for something stronger that will focus solely on wrinkles and reversing the signs of aging? I would suggest pbRenew Transform.  Trust me, I’m only a year or two away from making the switch myself J! pbRenew Transform is full of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that help transform your skin to what it was like when you weren’t worried about the passing of time. I recommended this product to my sister, who is much older than me (okay only by a few years) and she was happily shocked by the difference of what her skin looked like just by using the product for a week.

After experiencing results first hand and having multiple friends and relatives now using the product lines, I think it is safe to say the pbRenew products are absolutely amazing. But, it does not stop at a fantastic skin care line. Planet Beach’s Red Light Therapy maximizes and maintains the results. Over time, the use of red light therapy reduces the size of your pores and evens out skin tone. Religiously using the pbRenew line AND using Red Light Therapy keeps my skin healthy, vibrant and glowing.

We all know that changes in the season can affect our skin, but what we do not always know is how to modify our skin care products and regimes to counter act these changes. There are ways to work around the fluctuations in the weather and to ensure our skin is healthy and radiant no matter what the time of year. With each shift in the season we have to reassess our skin and then reevaluate our skin care regimen. Also, using pH balanced products that protect the acid mantel, a natural protective barrier, is vital no matter the season.

In the fall rain, wind, and colder weather can put strain on our skin. The winter weather reeks even more havoc on our skin as the dry air is what generally causes the most problems. Cold and dry air leaves our skin feeling flaky, dry, irritated, dehydrated and damaged. Using products to protect and heal the skin from such damage is vital.

Planet Beach Restore, which can be used on the face or the body, is absolutely amazing for damaged skin conditions. It contains ingredients that naturally stimulate healthy renewal, and assists with retaining moisture and nutrients.

Using rich moisturizers such as Nourish for the face or Infuse for the body more frequently and at night as skin absorbs added moisture much faster in the winter, essential oils from seeds and nuts such as our facial Repair oil and body Contour oil and facial products containing hyaluronic acid such as Replenish can counter act this. Also avoid hot baths and showers, as extremely hot water will dehydrate your skin.

Don’t forget to protect your lips with a moisture rich lip balm as well, such as Planet Beach’s Mint lip balm. Aside of the products that you can use to counteract the fall/winter changes to your skin, you may also love our full body Hydration services.

Everything you do can affect your skin, doing regular facials using Planet Beach skin care or going into Planet Beach for a Red Light facial can prepare your skin for season changes and provide a foundation for healthy radiant skin.

Skincare is a complex subject for starters! As you know, there are millions of products out there that do this and that, all ranging from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars! There are endless choices, but none of which tell you the interesting facts about the most intimate layer of clothing you have, your skin!

The skin is the largest organ in the body and weighs 12 – 15% of the total body weight.

There are 2 different types of skin

  • Glaborous skin which is non hairy (i.e. soles of feet and palms of hands)
  • Hairy skin

The average human being has 21 sq ft of skin and about 300 million skin cells.

The skin is constantly renewing itself from the bottom up and takes 52 – 77 days to shed cells.

Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour – about 1.5 pounds a year. By 70 years of age, an average person will have lost 105 pounds of skin. Wow!

Each half square inch of skin has approx 10 hairs, 15 sebaceous glands, 100 sweat glands, 3.2 feet of tiny blood vessels.

There are 45 miles of nerves in the skin of a human being. That is longer than my commute to work!

Seventy percent of the dust in your home consists of shed human skin. Those dust bunnies are not cute.

Goose bumps are actually little pimples that help retain a layer of warm air over our body.

Big, big, crazy fact: globally, dead skin accounts for about a billion tons of dust in the atmosphere. Wow!

As you can see, our skin plays a huge part in our overall health. Our skin works overtime to keep us healthy, thank your skin by giving yourself a big hug and giving it the nutrients it needs to take even better care of you!
