How do you exfoliate yourself?

The stratum corneum plays a very important protective role for human skin, but if the stratum corneum is relatively thick, the skin will appear very rough. However, people nowadays are very fond of beauty and want smooth and delicate skin, so people will do a lot of exfoliating work, such as various facial masks, or use various exfoliating products. Here are some quick and effective exfoliating methods.

Correct steps for exfoliation:

Clean your entire face with facial cleanser

Use a facial cleanser containing salicylic acid to clean your face, and apply circles on the T-zone forehead from bottom to top. For the sides of the nose in the T-zone, rub and apply circles from the very bottom of the nose to the tip of the nose. For the cheeks, apply circles over a large area from bottom to top.

Start with the tip of your nose, which is most prone to oiliness.

Gently rub the exfoliating cream on your fingertips, using the temperature of your fingers to make it easier for the exfoliating cream to dissolve the keratin plugs on the nose. Rub the sides of the nose with exfoliating cream in circles, and massage the bridge of the nose with the fingertips of both hands, alternating up and down for 2-3 minutes. The time should not be too long.

Next is the chin, which is prone to keratin accumulation.

The lymph nodes on both sides of the chin need to be massaged in circles frequently with exfoliating products. In addition, use the joints of your fingers to press the two bones next to the cheeks, which not only removes the dullness but also creates a small V-shaped face.

The most affected area on the forehead should also be cleaned carefully

Improper cleaning can clog the pores and make acne more likely to occur on the forehead. When exfoliating, move from the corner of the eye to the forehead, and then from the forehead back to the corner of the eye, massaging in circles three times in this outline.

Finally, the cheeks are easily injured.

The cheeks are prone to allergies and redness, so just exfoliate gently. Be careful to avoid exfoliating too vigorously and using exfoliants with coarse abrasive particles.

Wipe it off with a cotton pad and apply astringent and lotion

After exfoliating your entire face, use a cotton pad to evenly pat your cheeks to remove excess cuticle cream. The best strength is to make your skin feel soft and comfortable. Follow up with an astringent toner and lotion to cover the skin.

Exfoliate. Will the skin become thinner? —— Jeans will get torn if you scrub them with a brush every day, let alone that delicate face! Gentle and moderate exfoliation will not cause any damage to the skin! Some people exfoliate frequently in pursuit of temporary smooth skin. If you don't exfoliate for a period of time, your skin will feel rough. If your skin condition is poor, you hope to improve it by exfoliating. However, frequent exfoliation can make the skin layer thinner and thinner, causing skin allergies, red blood streaks, and dry skin.

So what is the right way to exfoliate? ——If your skin is dehydrated and rough, don’t just blame the stratum corneum, okay? Lack of water can also cause roughness, right? If you don't believe in the earth during drought, moisturize it first! If you have acne-prone skin, exfoliation is not suitable. What acne-prone skin needs is anti-inflammatory. Do not contact it too much to avoid wounds. The skin is very thin, extremely prone to allergies or obvious red blood streaks. The skin with damaged barrier function is particularly susceptible to external invasion and irritation and allergies.

How often do you exfoliate? ——It is recommended that oily skin exfoliate once a week. You can use products such as scrub to remove aging cuticles on the surface of the skin. Combination skin usually has an oily T-zone and slightly drier cheeks. It is recommended to exfoliate your skin once every two weeks. Focus on massaging the T-zone area. Gently brush across the cheeks. Dry skin has a thin stratum corneum and is easily sensitive and fragile. It is recommended to exfoliate once every two weeks. Try to choose gel-based products and avoid using large-particle scrubs to avoid damaging the skin. But no matter how often you exfoliate, if redness, pain, or peeling occurs, it is considered excessive exfoliation and should be corrected and stopped immediately. Dry skin can also use secondary cleansing water to exfoliate, which is more gentle.
