The Zoe Report: 13 Body Care Trends That Will Rule 2021
“I believe 2021 will be the year of body exfoliation,” Amy Peterson, a Miami-based licensed medical aesthetician and owner of Skincare by Amy Peterson, says, though not in the form of oil-infused scrubs. The market is rife with products to hydrate the body, but as Peterson points out, fewer options to exfoliate with multi-layered acids at home have existed until now.
“This body exfoliation process helps the underlying causes of dryness and dullness [that] so many clients talk about,” the aesthetician explains. “It also helps aid in the absorption of any product applied after [exfoliating] to treat laxity, cellulite, or hydration.” Peterson says two exfoliating sessions a week will drive results — hardly too much time added to one’s daily regimen. Her top two recommendations: Dennis Gross’s newly-launched Body Exfoliating Treatment wipes and Biologique Recherche’s P50 Corps. “It’s all about increasing cell-turnover head to toe,” she says of the gentle retexturizing formula.
