EXFOLIATE YOUR FACE & BODY

Do Not Exfoliate Everyday

Experts advise that exfoliating your skin once or twice a week is enough. But it also depends on the skin type. If you have sensitive skin, you need to do it only once a week. Exfoliating your skin every day can strip you off of your natural oils. It can also remove healthy cells from the skin, leaving it exposed to infection risks and inflammation.

When should you exfoliate?

If you use makeup, then exfoliating your skin after night wash is more beneficial. It will remove the build-up caused by makeup. It will also clear the pores clogged by makeup.

If you use nighttime products with glycolic acid or retinol then it is better to exfoliate in the morning. Because it will help clear out the dead skin from the products.

How often you should exfoliate your body?

You can lightly exfoliate your body every day. For everyday exfoliation use a loofah instead of chemical-based products. Your body wash and loofah will help out remove the dead skin. You can use a body scrub once a week for deep exfoliation. 

Lip Exfoliation-

Lips are very sensitive compared to both face and body. If there is no requirement for lip exfoliation, then you should not do it. But if you feel you have too much dead skin on your lips then use a lip scrub once a week followed by ultra-hydration lip balm.

When you exfoliate your body, your natural oil strip off too. So, after every exfoliation use a moisturizer for every part of the body. For natural exfoliation use a wooden brush, natural fiber loofah, homemade exfoliating products. Natural products work similarly to expensive chemical-based products. They leave your skin soft and smooth without harming it in any way.
