Exfoliate your Skin


It's now fall and soon winter will be around the corner...
Exfoliating throughout winter will remove dry, flaky skin and keep it from looking dull.
Reason why exfoliation works so well for your skin is because your skin cells goes through a natural process of dying and shedding. Unfortunately, when skin becomes dull it is due mainly because of build up of dead skin cells that refuse to shed off by itself. Therefore, you will want to use an exfoliating product in order to speed up the shedding process and clear away these dead cells that are making your skin patchy and dry. It also removes stubborn pore clogging substances that your daily cleansing may miss and stimulates the growth of healthy looking skin!
 
Exfoliation is often done with just the facial area, but the rest of your skin is just as important! The only area you should not exfoliate is around the eye area as this is extremely sensitive. Otherwise, go ahead and treat your body to some extra TLC! 

** Never overexfoliate with excessively abrasive exfoliating cleansers, or you run the risk of bursting the delicate blood vessels under the skin. If the vessels burst, your skin may appear permanently flushed. This condition, known as telangiectasia, must then be treated using laser surgery. **
