Over the past couple of weeks I have notices how dry, rough, and flaky my skin has been! If my skin is this way I can just imagine what other peoples skin feels like! So why should you Exfoliate? That's a good question.
How often do you exfoliate? Do you even exfoliate? These are all good questions.
Why should you exfoliate? Here are a few answers to that question. Your skin is constantly shedding. Our Skin consists of 5 different layers that all have a purpose. The top layer is the oldest layer and if we don't help with the shedding process it builds up and becomes dull looking. An other reason to exfoliate is to prevent major break outs. Yes we all get them! Right from Puberty all the way to Old age. If only we could keep it at the Puberty stage!!! Do you want an uneven complexion? And the best one for last no exfoliating means that you aren't promoting skin renewal. What does that mean? Do you want to look older than you are or do you want to look younger? It means that every time you exfoliate you are making your skin work at building new cells. Keep your skin firm, not loose and saggy!!
How do we keep our skin looking fantastic? Well get into the habit of using your exfoliating product right after you cleanse your skin! As well you should start off with a good professional exfoliating service that way you know that your skin is on the right path back to glowing!
There are different types of exfoliants for different types of skin. I carry Dermalogica at my Salon so I will promote this line because this is my Blog!!
The first thing you need to do is figure out what kind of Skin type you have. Now some times your skin will change with the weather. So in the spring and summer months I have normal/oily (combination) now with the colder weather I am more oily but I am still breaking out so I would say that I am slightly dehydrated. I am doing a professional exfoliation once a week followed with using a daily exfoliant as well.
