Exfoliation tips for delicate skin

When it comes to exfoliation, you can’t just rub it casually. You must master the many essentials of exfoliation. Generally speaking, exfoliation is only necessary once every two weeks.

Face

Exfoliate your face and neck for about 3-5 minutes.

Exfoliation frequency: 1-2 times/week for oily skin and combination skin on the T-zone; 1 time/week for dry skin

Limbs and trunk

Exfoliation time for the whole body: about 3-5 times for each part, a total of about 15 minutes. Exfoliation frequency: 2 times/month

If you have the following conditions, you should never exfoliate.

1. If dryness or peeling occurs, do not think that exfoliation can remove the skin. What you should do at this time is moisturizing. Exfoliation will only weaken the skin's self-defense ability, and the peeling situation will be more serious.

2. Acne with pus or inflammation: As long as you have acne, it is not suitable for exfoliation, especially contagious pustular acne. It is recommended to avoid the place where the acne occurs and never touch the acne.

3. If you have skin diseases, avoid infection and exfoliation is not suitable. For example, flat warts.

Different skin types have different exfoliation methods

1. Normal to dry skin: once every two weeks, depending on skin condition. For areas with rough cuticles and high oil content, use beauty exfoliating cream to gently exfoliate; for areas with thinner, more sensitive and fragile skin, frequent exfoliation is not suitable.

2. Normal to oily skin: Use a beauty cuticle cream that can remove aging cuticles, melanin and acne from the epidermis. Apply the cuticle cream to areas where the cuticles are thicker, and wipe it dry after about one to two minutes. It can deeply cleanse, soften the cuticles, and help with nutrient reabsorption. Remember that your skin will be drier after exfoliation, so apply a moisturizer that can balance the skin's pH value before applying a facial mask.

4. Acne, pimples, and acne-prone skin: Apply an exfoliating lotion rich in seaweed on the skin, leave it on for two to three minutes, and then the dead keratin cells on the epidermis will be removed. Use once or twice a week depending on skin condition.

5. Skin with dark spots and freckles: Apply a small amount of degreasing milk rich in vitamin C and seaweed ingredients to the thicker areas, leave it on for one to two minutes, and then gently rub off the rough cuticles. Afterwards, apply a moisturizer that can balance the skin's pH value, once every one to two weeks depending on the nature of your skin.
