Exfoliate Skin

How to Exfoliate Your Face - eHow.com Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything Web eHow.com Home Personal Care & Style Center Grooming How to Exfoliate Your Face By mildly abrading your skin with exfoliating agents, you will remove the surface layer of dead cells. Afterward, fine lines will be less visible and your complexion will glow. Steps: 1. Moisten your face with water before exfoliating. 2. Use a loofah, exfoliating gloves or a synthetic scrubbing sponge designed for the face. 3. Apply an exfoliating cleanser specially designed for faces to the loofah or sponge. Some exfoliating cleansers contain up to 25 percent pumice, and these should never be used on the face. 4. Rub your face with the loofah or sponge using circular motions. Avoid scrubbing under the eyes, because the skin there is thin and easily damaged by abrasive cleansers and exfoliating sponges. 5. Rinse thoroughly with tepid water. Hot water is harsh on skin, especially delicate face skin. 6. Apply a moisturizer containing alpha or beta hydroxy acids. These acids will continue the exfoliating process, because acids cause additional dead skin cells to slough off. 7. Try an exfoliating mask. Make one by mashing up a papaya and smearing it on your face. The enzymes help exfoliate the skin. Rinse off thoroughly after 15 minutes. Tips: Use products designed for the face only. Those meant for the rest of your body may be too abrasive and irritating for your face. Your skin may tingle after using alpha or beta hydroxy acids. This is normal and should go away after 15 minutes. Be diligent in keeping moisturizer on your face at all times if you exfoliate regularly. Exfoliating causes the skin to dry out, and dry skin is an invitation for skin to wrinkle. Warnings: Never overexfoliate with excessively abrasive exfoliating cleansers, or you run the risk of bursting the delicate blood vessels under the skin. If the vessels burst, your skin may appear permanently flushed. This condition, known as telangiectasia, must then be treated using laser surgery. Tips from eHow Users: Gentle and effective by eHow Friend I've not found anything better than Cetaphil for either removing makeup -even waterproof mascara and general cleansing. I have oily skin, and my husband dry, and we both swear by it. To exfoliate, pour a little baking soda in the palm of your hand and mix with Cetaphil to make a paste. Scrub away. It will not be too abrasive for most skin types, and gentle enough for reactive ones, and inexpensive to boot! To make an oil-control mask, take some Milk of Magnesia, put it on a cotton ball or your fingers, and wipe onto your face. Let it dry. Rinse with tepid water. I'm not affiliated with "The Cosmetics Cop," but found and use these tips particularly. They were encountered by reading the book, "Don't Go To the Cosmetics Counter Without Me", which I also recommend for anyone wanting the low-down on good makeup and skincare practices.

Exfoliation is the ideal way to banish those winter blues. And because Dove's exfoliating bar and bodywash use only the gentlest ingredients, you can enjoy this feeling every day. Why exfoliate? Our skin naturally and regularly sheds its outer layer, but the resulting buildup can leave skin with a dull, flaky finish. Clogged pores can block moisturisers from nourishing our skin and our once silky-smooth, beautiful skin can start to look dry and dehydrated. Not exactly the skin you want to reveal on the beach this summer! Washing daily with a washcloth will remove some of the dead skin cells, but an additional treatment is best. That's where exfoliation can come to the rescue. Benefits of exfoliating Beyond removing those pesky dead skin cells, exfoliation provides benefits even the most luxurious spa in the world would be proud to offer. It can: Improve the texture of your skin Make your skin look more radiant Help reduce lines and wrinkles Reveal healthier-looking skin below Remove pore-clogging dirt Help prevent acne outbreaks Allow moisturisers to penetrate your skin more deeply Many exfoliating products and scrubs on the market today employ harsh chemicals or abrasives like nutshells, pumice stone and glycolic acid. But not Dove. Its exfoliating bar and bodywash contain uniquely formulated blue micro beads and tests have shown they are gentle enough to use every day to smooth away dull lifeless cells and reveal beautifully fresh new skin. And Dove's exfoliating bar and bodywash contain Dove's patented 1/4 moisturising cream to help replenish your skin and make it silk smooth.
