How to Exfoliate Dark Skin

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Michelle Renee from the Michelle Renee makeup artist group here in Tampa, Florida. And on behalf of Expert Village we're going to show you how to apply makeup on women of color. The second step to any makeup procedure is to exfoliate. Once you have your skin nice and clean, you want to exfoliate. This helps speed up the turn over of cells on your face. There are a couple different exfoliaters that you can use. The important part is not to over exfoliate. People with oily skin like myself can exfoliate at least once or twice a week. If you have t-zone oil or dry you'd want to exfoliate once a week or once every two weeks. Again listen to what your skin is telling you. Some of my favorite exfoliaters are physical exfoliaters something with beads built in that you gently rub the beads onto your skin and rinse off. I also like to use a gentle brush. I can go in with my cleanser or an exfoliater with beads in there and gentle in circular motions exfoliate around my skin. If you have a t-zone oil you might just want to exfoliate in your t-zone area. But exfoliation redefines the texture of your skin and makes you look fresh and everybody wants to look fresh."
