How to Exfoliate

Exfoliation (or sloughing off dead skin cells) is an important step in keeping your skin looking great. There are many ways to accomplish this, read on for some ideas.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. The most obvious way to exfoliate your skin is to buy an exfoliator from the drug store and use it in the shower. Pretty much any product that calls itself a scrub will work. Just wet your skin in the shower, step out of the water, and rub the scrub into your skin. Use a circular motion, and concentrate on areas that seem rough or flaky.

2. If you want to go a more natural route, or save some money, you can use products that you probably have in your kitchen. Sugar or brown sugar both make a great exfoliant, just wet your skin, rub it on, and rinse.

3. An old trick is to mix your sun tan oil with beach sand and rub it all over your skin. You can then rinse off in the water.

Tips & Warnings

• A loofah can help with your exfoliation.
• If any product irritates your skin, stop using it immediatley.
• Don't exfoliate more than once or twice a week, especially if you have acne prone skin. Over exfoliation can increase oil production and lead to more breakouts.
