EXFOLIATION = RADIANT SKIN
Please don’t ever take my exfoliating scrub away. I just wouldn’t look or feel the same. I’ve been using the OHA Facial Sugar Scrub 2-3 times a week in the morning in place of my regular cleanser. WOW!! What a difference. A good scrub clears out oil-clogged pores making them appear smaller, sloughs away dead skin cells, gets rid of flakes, improves the texture and color of the skin by increasing circulation and produces a softer, smoother complexion making fine lines look less visible. Instant gratification and a big bang for your buck!
Without proper exfoliation, you’re just gluing down dead skin cells every day with your moisturizer. Yuck! Free of these cells, your skin will look healthier and be more receptive to the active ingredients in the skincare products you’ll be following with.
Here’s another reason to exfoliate - the irregular surface created by these flaking cells reflects light differently, so skin appears dull and sallow and fine lines stand out.
And here’s another great reason - the best foundation in the world will look bad if it’s applied on top of skin that is dull, dry and flaky, but will look beautiful on properly prepared skin.
So ………..
- Exfoliate both face and throat 2-3 times a week.
- Most exfoliating scrubs are also cleansers.
- Always start with a clean, free of makeup face.
- Avoid the eye area.
- Don’t apply too much pressure.
- Never scrub directly on a pimple. It may open and spread the infection.
- Always follow with the appropriate moisturizer.
- This skincare step is a must for all ages.
- Those with super sensitive skin may have to skip it.
To your health and beauty!
