Why Do We Exfoliate?
Exfoliation removes dead skin and is one of the best ways to reveal healthy, new skin. After exfoliating, new skin is revealed and left feeling baby soft. Various tools that we exfoliate with will lead to less acne and other skin protrusions. Removing dead skin cleans the skin, but also feels amazing, leaving you relaxed and tension free.
Healthy skin is important for good health and beauty. Our skin has many layers comprised of cells that are constantly supplied by nutrient rich blood. When the skin is clogged by dead skin and oils that build up, the new fresh skin has a hard time reaching the surface. This is why removing the buildup is so important and exfoliation is one of the best ways to do this.
One device you can use is a natural, non synthetic bristle dry skin brush. It should be a firm brush, but it should not scratch or cut the surface of your skin. When exfoliating the face, apply a bit of witch hazel with a cotton ball for a mild astringent to help with oil control. Mix 4 tablespoon organic oat flour with 2 tablespoons powdered milk and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to make a smooth paste. Apply to face, let sit until dry, and rinse with warm water. This can be used a couple of times a week.
Find lotions that are easily absorbed by your body. For body moisturizers, you can use various natural body lotions and creams. Creams that work best with hands and feet are ones that are thick and have moisturizing ability. Don't neglect the hands or feet as these are the areas most prone to dryness and cracking. Bath and body shops will have various products that can suit your needs. A nice mint or peppermint lotion will leaving your skin feeling revitalized and rejuvenated.
Using natural ingredients provides a better way to moisturize. The ingredients you use on your skin is just as important as what you eat, since they both get absorbed through out your body. If you exfoliate everyday, it will be easier to continue and become a great habit.
Whichever way you choose to exfoliate, understand that you must know your body and use whatever way that works best for you. All bodies and skin types are as unique as the individual themselves, so treat your body kindly and gently and it will reward you with healthy, glowing, radiant skin. Exfoliation will make your body feel good, which in return will reward you mentally and emotionally. If you have diabetes, or other conditions that cause circulatory problems or numbness, consult your health professional before trying any of these treatments for calluses or corns.
