Exfoliation is a process that will allow you to maintain and beautify your skin. When you exfoliate, you are helping to scrub off any of the dead skin cells that might be on the surface so that you can expose the fresh, younger skin that is below. Simple as that.

But you can overdo it so be careful. You want to look younger and rejuvenated, not red raw and sore!

Skin sloughers, scrubs and exfoliators are the perfect way to improve upon the glow of your skin and also to help it stay healthy and beautiful. When you know how to exfoliate your skin, you are going to want to be sure that you do it on a regular basis so that you can keep it looking young and fresh. Incorporate it into your regular skincare routine (this is my easy skincare routine).

Skin exfoliation is a process that can lead to a slight bit of irritation for some people, so it is important that you test out an area before doing your entire face. At the same time, you will not want to over-exfoliate your skin by doing it too often as the skin can end up getting more irritated or even inflamed. Depending on the budget that you might have to work with, you can either purchase a good exfoliant or even look at some of the products that you may have at home to get the same results.

If you are able to make your way to a spa or a salon that offers skin treatments, you can set up an appointment for a facial or even for a dermabrasion treatment. These are both great ways to exfoliate your skin while pampering yourself at the same time. Depending on the services offered in your area, you may also be able to take advantage of a hydrating mask after exfoliation to even further the glow that you will achieve.

Home Exfoliation

To make a good exfoliant at home, you can use a mixture of sugar and lemon juice or even sugar and olive oil and then gently rub it into your skin. The granules of the sugar will help to rub off the dead skin and give your skin a feeling that is soft to the touch.

After you use the exfoliating scrub, simply rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water until it is clean. Once you are done, it is important that you use a good moisturizer to help you condition the skin and keep it properly hydrated.

The more you look around at ingredients that you have at home, the better the exfoliating mask you will be able to come up with.
