Tips : Exfoliating with sugar

Do you know what is exfoliation? Exfoliation involves the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skin’s outermost surface. Exfoliation is involved in the process of all facials, during microdermabrasion or chemical peels at medical spas.
Exfoliating is wonderful, especially if you’ve been sitting in traffic on the way to and from work, and then in a closed office with stale air circulating.

The benefits of a very gentle scrub are that removing dead, dull skin cells give you an instant brightening factor, making your skin more luminous and youthful. It can reduce fine lines that come from sun and pollution damage.
If you are prone to spots, this kind of a cleaning will remove bacteria that cause breakouts. It helps your moisturiser and skin toner penetrate better.

However,exfoliating should not be a daily process or too harsh because overdoing it can damage the skin. Ideally, you should exfoliate very gentle about twice a week. The best place is in the shower.

Wet your face thoroughly, dab the cream all over your face, rub very gentle but be sure to get to those difficult spots like areas near the nose and underneath your ears. Then wash off.
