You may have read our earlier blog on all things chemical exfoliation (if you haven’t yet go back and find out why Saint Louve’s 12% AHA BHA Exfoliating Serum has people loving their smoother looking skin from the very first use).

Chemical exfoliation uses Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) and/or Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA) to break down bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to slough away naturally. Saint Louve’s 12% AHA BHA Exfoliating Serum uses a unique combination of both AHA and BHA’s to not only smooth the skin by removing dead skin cells but also unclogging pores and removing excess oil. It’s clinically proven ability to smooth skin, help with the appearance of fine lines, as well as reduce breakouts and pore size makes it a real fan favourite.

Now we know all the incredible benefits chemical exfoliation has on the face, but did you know that our exfoliating serum doesn’t need to stop working its magic there. It has great benefits for skin concerns on the body too.

If you experience breakouts on the body in areas such as the neck, chest or back our 12% AHA BHA Exfoliating Serum can be applied to affected areas to help reduce prevalence and severity of flare ups. It is also doubles as a spot treatment to help dry out spots and remove congestion.

Another skin concern that can be targeted on the body is keratosis pilaris which is the term used for small bumps that appear on the upper arms, legs or buttocks. They do not usually hurt or itch but is a harmless skin condition in which excess keratin causes rough small bumps to form. Applying Saint Louve’s exfoliating serum to the affected areas 2-3 times a week will help to break down the build up while also softening the skin revealing velvety smooth skin.

This product is also a saviour for those dreaded ingrown hairs. Before your next hair removal session, you can prep the area with by sloughing away dead skin cells from the surface creating smooth soft skin while reducing the risk of ingrown hairs from forming. Do not apply and our exfoliating serum to freshly shaven or lasered skin. Your skin is more sensitive just after hair removal and our active serum may cause a stinging sensation and irritation.  

Our 12% AHA BHA Exfoliating Serum has you covered from head to toe (literally). It is a great addition to your skincare routine as a hand and foot treatment. Apply a few pumps of the serum 5 minutes before applying moisturiser to your hand and feet to help keep them soft and supple to the touch.

At Saint Louve we love the silky-smooth skin you can achieve with chemical exfoliation without the harsh abrasion of a physical exfoliant which can damage the skin barrier and through micro tears in the skin. Our active, yet gentle serum is great for such a wide range of skin concerns all over the body. Skin divinity shouldn’t stop at the face.
