New Year, New Skin — Via Reviva Exfoliation Shedding old skin for the new year, may not be on your list of new year's resolutions however, the beauty practice does have its benefits; particularly if your skin is darker. New skin salon research shows that ethnic skin responds more favourably to exfoliation benefits than caucasian skin. Exfoliation products from beauty company's like Reviva Labs, assist the removal of dead, flaky skin cells from the surface of the skin. But for the skin of people of colour, cell production and the accumulation of dead cells speed up and can build up. Dead cell build-up is a frequent reason for the “ashy” look sometimes seen on ethnic skin. Shari Franklin, a professional model and instructor, says: “Since using Reviva, I can tell a difference in my skin. My face looks more radiant and my complexion is brighter. My friends and associates noted the difference in my skin." She added: "I also didn’t wear make-up for a week, just so I could really see the difference." Stephen Strassler, Founder of Reviva Labs and one of America’s earliest Aestheticians, added details on exfoliation: “When dead cells are removed from African-American and other people of colour facial skins, just once a week, by using light skin peel, the skin tone shows greater clarity and a softer, 'polished' complexion." The Reviva Skin Peel also helps avoid blotchiness and blemishes. |
