How To Exfoliate The Right Way

Have you ever heard the expression out with the old, in with the new? We might think of this when cleaning out our closets but the same also applies to our skin. In this case, exfoliating our skin is akin to purging our closets. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, leaving you with skin that is naturally beautiful, soft and radiant. However, exfoliation isn’t as simple as it may seem. Here are the top tips and tricks to make sure you are getting the most out of exfoliating your skin.

How often should I exfoliate?

To achieve great results, you must be consistent. Aim for at least once or twice a week to achieve the silky, smooth skin you are looking for. Exfoliating once a month or so just isn’t enough. By exfoliating regularly, you are reducing the amount of dead skin on your face and body, thus allowing targeted anti-aging and skin rejuvenation treatments to penetrate your skin more easily.

When is the best time to exfoliate?

When to exfoliate is dependent on your personal habits and lifestyle. If you wear makeup on a daily basis, exfoliating at night would help lift any remaining makeup particles from the skin and ensure that any other targeted treatments are penetrating properly. However, you may prefer to exfoliate in the morning if your face tends to be dull or if you have oily skin.

What tools do I need?

A basic washcloth and a good exfoliating product are all you need to achieve the radiant glow you’re looking for on your face and body. Loofahs and other sponges can be too abrasive for the skin. For your body, another great tool to use is the body brush, which you can be used to dry brush your body before you have a shower or a bath. Read more
