Things You'll Need:

- Exfoliating Gloves

- Moisturizers
- Moisturizers

Step 1
Moisten your face with water before exfoliating.
-
Step 2
Use a loofah, exfoliating gloves or a synthetic scrubbing sponge designed for the face.
-
Step 3
Apply an exfoliating cleanser specially designed for faces to the loofah or sponge. Some exfoliating cleansers contain up to 25 percent pumice, and these should never be used on the face.
-
Step 4
Rub your face with the loofah or sponge using circular motions. Avoid scrubbing under the eyes, because the skin there is thin and easily damaged by abrasive cleansers and exfoliating sponges.
-
Step 5
Rinse thoroughly with tepid water. Hot water is harsh on skin, especially delicate face skin.
-
Step 6
Apply a moisturizer containing alpha or beta hydroxy acids. These acids will continue the exfoliating process, because acids cause additional dead skin cells to slough off.
-
Step 7
Try an exfoliating mask. Make one by mashing up a papaya and smearing it on your face. The enzymes help exfoliate the skin. Rinse off thoroughly after 15 minutes.

on 3/15/2008 Once a week I exfoliate with natural goat milk soap. Goat milk is great for your skin. I use one that does not contain any fragrance. www.handmadecatalog.com/Fanuppa-Soaps-LLC-mid-200.html

on 12/13/2007 This is a rudimentary beginning for exfoliation, some very good comments though. Love the toothbrush idea, have done that for years though now Clairisonic has a fabulous new facial brush which makes the skin glow!

on 10/9/2007 I've used a couple of the above with some good results but I recently found a new mitt that hit the market to be the best and most convenient for me. All I have to do is add warm water to my microfiber mitt and I make sure I don't press to hard since it works so well. It leaves my face super smooth and clean. I also use it to remove my makeup everyday during the evening. It's called the HydraMitt, just do a Google search. I got mine from a local spa. I hope this helps.
P.S. I like the no chemical/ingredient mess, nothing to clean up afterwards. Also, I just use soap to clean the mitt when I'm done and then hang dry, that's it! The mitt is supposed to last me at least 6 months with daily use.
