- Sight
Facial skin is thinner and more sensitive than the rest of the body. The Kessa glove exfoliates intensely and can damage the skin barrier, leading to redness or irritation. - Eye contour
The skin around the eyes is extremely thin and delicate. Exfoliating with a Kessa glove can quickly cause damage and is therefore not recommended. - Lips
The lips don't have a protective stratum corneum. Mechanical exfoliation with a Kessa glove can damage the skin and cause dryness or cracking. - Intimate zone
Intimate skin is very sensitive and has its own natural balance. Mechanical exfoliation can disrupt this balance and cause irritation. Therefore, the Kessa glove is only suitable for the body and not for intimate areas. - Damaged, irritated or eczema-prone skin
With damaged or irritated skin, or during an eczema flare-up, the skin barrier is weakened. Exfoliation can worsen symptoms and delay recovery.
Rinse well and apply Argan oil to soothe and hydrate the skin, or choose Prickly Pear Seed Oil for intensive anti-aging care.
