The exfoliant is probably the product of the beauty routine that we forget the most. However, not exfoliating the skin enough can make it look dry and dull, even if we cleanse and moisturize it daily.
If you want to know the benefits of exfoliation and how to carry it out to make it more effective, keep reading.
Why is exfoliation important?
The skin is the largest organ in our body and many times we do not pay enough attention to it.
Did you know that it is renewed every 28 days? New cells replace the dead ones, however the body does not have the capacity to remove all those dead cells . With age, the rhythm slows down, which causes the pores to clog, the skin does not oxygenate and does not look pretty.
What we achieve with exfoliation is to eliminate that excess of dead cells that accumulate on the skin and that our body is not capable of eliminating. In addition to making the skin look bright and healthy.
What are the benefits of exfoliating the skin?
- Eliminates dirt from the face and pollution that adheres to the pores, clogging them.
- Prevents the appearance of blackheads by removing dead cells from the face and the most difficult traces of makeup.
- It also prevents premature aging of the skin.
- It helps the creams that we apply later to be better absorbed.
- Smoothes the skin and makes it look even, evening out color and tone.
- Avoid the formation of ingrown hairs due to waxing.
- Renews the skin by stimulating the release of toxins through the pores.
- Activates circulation and oxygenates the skin.
How to exfoliate the skin correctly?
The first thing we should know is that we cannot use the same scrub for the face as for the body , each area has specific properties and care and the products are adapted to them.
On the face, apply the scrub on clean skin and spread it with soft circular movements to activate circulation , then you must remove the product with water. The moisturizer will enhance its effect after the scrub, so don't forget to apply it.
There is no perfect number of times to use the scrub. You can exfoliate your skin once or twice a week and pay attention to its reaction, if it turns red or you notice that its sensitivity increases, reduce the frequency. It is recommended that you be guided by the response of your skin.
What we achieve by spreading the exfoliating particles through the skin is to advance the cell renewal process, in addition to eliminating dead cells. In this way the skin looks smoother, hydrated, silky and luminous.
Exfoliate the skin in winter
With summer about to end, we can start thinking about changing our beauty routine and start preparing our skin for the change of season .
Exfoliating the skin should be part of our beauty routine throughout the year, but since we know that especially in winter it tends to be lazy, we will tell you about some benefits so as not to abandon this step after the summer .
- Your skin will no longer look dull and dull.
- You will eliminate the dead cells that accumulate and do not eliminate themselves.
- The exfoliation will be more effective if you do it after the shower, since the heat opens the pores.
- You will get a greater effect if you help yourself with a horsehair glove.
Don't forget your feet! The part of the body that suffers the most in summer are the feet since, by spending a lot of time barefoot, they endure the high temperatures of the sand, the ground around the pool, sandals... which causes roughness, dryness, chafing and pain.
Exfoliating our feet after the summer helps us smooth out rough spots , massaging them to extend the product relieves pain and makes the hydration that we apply later absorb more easily, enhancing its effect.
Exfoliate the skin in summer
The appearance of our skin begins to worry us when the good weather approaches, the clothes are lighter, we show more areas of our body and we want it to look beautiful. In addition, exfoliating the skin before the summer helps us prepare the skin for sunbathing and show off a beautiful and homogeneous tan.
At this time of year it is advisable to exfoliate the skin at night so as not to expose it to the sun immediately and so that it can rest for several hours. Use a moisturizing and soothing cream after exfoliation in summer and always remember to protect your skin with a product with a high protection index, preferably 50 SPF.
