| Should You Exfoliate Dry Skin? |
| by Louise Forrest |
| |
It is certainly hard work
from preventing your skin from becoming dry. Tough conditions
from the elements of the weather can present many challenges.
One of the steps that you often hear about is exfoliating
the skin in order to remove dead skin cells and to keep
the skin looking young and fresh. But is this such a good
idea when it comes to dry skin? It does sound like perfect
sense especially if you have skin that is dull and flaky.
The above way of thinking is partially correct, you real
goal is to get rid of the dead skin cells from the top
surface of the skin.
So exfoliating dry skin is a good idea as it will help
to get rid of dead skin cells and will show the healthy
skin that is underneath.
But what you need to be careful about is that you do not
over exfoliate the skin as too much can lead to drier
skin and this is not what we want to achieve.
Once you have decided that you are going to exfoliate
you need to find a product that will suit you and one
that is preferably organic based will be best as this
will be free of any harsh chemicals and alcohol.
Exfoliating your skin no more than once a fortnight is
a good recommendation and when you do exfoliate you should
be as gentle as possible and not to be too harsh on the
skin.
When you have found a product that you are comfortable
with you then need to prepare your skin. |
