EXFOLIATION-- is the removal of the oldest dead skin cells that cling to the skin's outermost surface.
Here are some of my tips on how to exfoliate. : ]
Yoghurt-- it contains lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid that is good for your skin. Take 1/2 tsp whole milk yoghurt (goat or sheep milk is good) and spread it over your face. After 15 minutes or so rinse with tepid water. Excellent for all skin types, especially dry.
Oil -- lipids dissolve lipids, so you can take a light oil and massage it into the skin. This is a gentle way to dssolve hardened sebum, and a great way to treat blackheads and whiteheads--no squeezing allowed--just gently massage into affected area 2-3x a day. The oil penetrates and eventually the material floats to the surface. This treatment helps to refine pores. This is a great exfoliation treatment for oily skin with pimples and blackheads, as it helps balance oil production and will prevent scarring.
Salt & Sugar--one of the simpliest ingredient to exfoliate is the sugar and salt.Mix sugar equally with salt. example 1 teaspoon sugar one teaspoon salt, and a few drops of water. The different textures in the two will work against each other to exfoliate.
Oatmeal-- Ground oatmeal and water (or milk) makes a great cleanser.Wheat germ is high in protein, vitamin E and B, which makes this ingredient nourishing, soothing and helpful in preventing free radical damage. It’s very slight granular texture, gives a sensitive or dry skin a wonderful, gentle exfoliation.
Loofah-- if you guys dont like putting anything on your face and body try using loofah sponge every bath,it also works.:]
