The skin as a very sensitive body organ. It is mandatory that we take the necessary precautions to take good care of our skin. Face exfoliation is the washing or rubbing of the face with a granular substance to remove dead skin cells. Skin cells replicate every minute and some dead cells do not fall off they instead cling on to the rejuvenated skin. There are two types of face exfoliation; chemical and physical/mechanical.
Physical/mechanical face exfoliation involves use of natural substances to exfoliate. Physical exfoliators include baking soda, finely ground sugar, coffee grounds, finely ground sea salt and cinnamon. Chemical exfoliators are alpha hydroxy acid(AHA) and beta hydroxy acid(BHA). AHA is for normal and dry skin. It is water soluble and good to hydrate skin. BHA is ideal for oily skin. It is oil soluble and good to unclog pores, treat blackheads and zits.
Before face exfoliating, wash face with luke warm water. For physical exfoliators rub in small upward and circular motion with fingers and for chemical (liquid) apply with cotton pad or wash cloth. Let it stay for a while. Wash your face with warm water and pat with a dry towel. Luck in moisture with cream and anti-aging serum. With that, you are good to go.
Exfoliating solely depends on one’s skin type. There are three skin types; oily, normal and dry skin. For oily skin they should exfoliate more often and dry skin should exfoliate one or two times a week. Over-exfoliation might lead to redness or irritation of the skin. Some benefits of face exfoliating include removing dead skin, improving circulation, skin turn over (brighter skin) and better absorption of moisturizers and serum.
That marks the end of this piece. Make sure you exfoliate your skin to rejuvenate it. However, when using mechanical method don’t apply too much pressure. You might end up doing more harm than good to your skin. Don’t be selfish with this information, tell a friend to tell a friend not forgetting that exfoliating is a unisex “thing”. Let’s all glow!
