Walnut Shell Powder for Skin Care

Walnut Shell Powder in Exfoliating Skin Care Products

Despite being wrinkly, walnuts shells are excellent when used for natural skin care. Many natural skincare ranges include walnut shell powder as an exfoliating ingredient.

An exfoliating cream or scrub removes dead cells from the surface layers of your skin. They can also be used to prepare the skin to absorb the ingredients of other skin care products, such as anti-ageing treatments and moisturizers, which helps explain why walnut shell powder is so popular in the cosmetics industry.

The Benefits of Exfoliating with Walnut Shell Powder

If you exfoliate regularly with a treatment containing walnut shell powder, this will help your skin feel smoother and softer. Used in conjuction with another product, it can make your skin feel more moisturized. As a regular part of your skin care routine-once or twice a week-your skin can look healthier, too.

Exfoliate in preparation for the summer months if you want to remove blemishes you have put up with during winter, when your skin was more likely to be covered up. Exfoliating is a bit like a spring clean for your skin.

Learning more about the benefits of exfoliation, more consumers are demanding ever larger quantities of exfoliating products.

How Walnut Shells Are Used for Exfoliants

At this stage, the walnut shell appears as light brown particles. It is ideal for use in exfoliating creams, because the grit is extremely durable. They can cope with thick deposits of dead skin and oil without trouble. And, importantly, they are not soluble and do not break down in the cream or lotion, making them practical for manufacturers and consumers alike.
