What to do after exfoliation

In order to make their skin better, many people will use certain methods to remove the dead skin on their faces. Of course, you can’t exfoliate at will. It depends on the nature of your skin. In addition, after exfoliating, you must also take certain measures to care for your skin to prevent skin damage. Below, I will introduce to you in detail what you need to do after exfoliating.

1. The correct way to exfoliate

1. Understand your skin type. If your skin is dry or sensitive, it doesn't matter if you don't exfoliate specifically. Just remember to choose a mild exfoliating product and do it about once every 1 to 2 weeks.

2. For people with oily skin, especially in the summer, they are prone to oiliness and the speed at which keratin is produced will be faster than that of people with normal or dry skin. You can do it about 1 to 2 times a week. If you have combination skin, the oilier T-zone and chin area can be treated the same way as for oily skin, and the drier cheeks can be treated the same way as for dry skin.

2. Maintenance methods after exfoliation

1. Facial exfoliation should be done after cleaning the face and when the face still retains moisture. The force of exfoliation must be gentle, and slowly push in small circles, about 7 to 10 times for one area. After exfoliating, rinse with clean water and then proceed with maintenance.

2. The maintenance work that must be done after exfoliating your face includes moisturizing and sun protection (if you are going out). If you have sensitive skin, it is recommended to use skin care products that can help soothe the skin (such as hot spring water) before moisturizing. In addition, the products and methods used for neck exfoliation should be consistent with those used on the face.

3. Precautions after exfoliation

Once the keratin on the surface of the skin is removed, the moisture in the skin can be easily lost. Therefore, you must use moisturizing products immediately after exfoliating. Only people with more sensitive skin can use products containing soothing ingredients such as chamomile to soothe the skin and avoid irritation.

Once the stratum corneum of the skin becomes thinner, its ability to lock in moisture will also weaken. Therefore, after replenishing water, remember to use a moisture-locking lotion or cream to create a new care film for the skin to prevent moisture loss.

Generally speaking, it is best to exfoliate once a week. If you do it regularly, it will damage your skin. We all know that the stratum corneum of the skin is very thin. If you don't pay attention to it, it will cause some infections to your skin. So, like some female friends, you should still be proactive and use some care products that suit you to make your skin very healthy.
