HOW TO SAFELY REMOVE IT

-

1. SCRUBS

The most well-known and instantly satisfying exfoliatin­g method is undoubtedl­y using a skin scrub or physical exfoliant. For those unaware, physically scrubbing the skin with an abrasive is known as mechanical exfoliatio­n. Usually, this is done with beads, sugar, salt, or shells to assist in sloughing off dead skin. Selecting a formula with tiny, fine particles is advised if you decide to use this technique to prevent the skin from developing small tears. And go lightly; don’t exert excessive force.

2 . SHOWER POUF AND SPONGES

The delicate pores in these shower items softly buff your skin smooth, making them one of the gentlest exfoliatio­n methods. It’s also likely that you already own one of these in your arsenal. To ensure proper drying and prevent bacterial growth, hang your sponge. Not only is this exfoliatio­n method safe to use regularly, but it also has the added benefit of making your body wash lather wonderfull­y.

3 .DRY BRUSHING

This age-old Ayurvedic method can remove surplus dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. In addition to being a self-care practice, dry brushing has been shown to help with circulatio­n in the body. Working from your toes to your neck, stimulate the lymph to flow toward your upper torso and chest. This exfoliatin­g method is best used on the body, though you can also use it lightly on the face.

4 . EXFOLIATIN­G GLOVES

Let us introduce you to the popular shower accessory, the exfoliatin­g glove, if you haven’t used one yet. These mitts are designed to remove dead skin, increase circulatio­n, and even prevent ingrown hairs. They come in a range of textures. Just put on the glove, move in circular patterns, and bid undesired dead skin cells farewell.

5 . CHEMICAL PEELS

To begin with, not everyone is a good candidate for chemical peels. However, if you’re ready for the task, you can determine which peel is ideal for your skin type by visiting your neighbourh­ood physician or estheticia­n. Higher acid concentrat­ions are used in these in-office procedures to assist in exfoliatin­g accumulate­d dead skin cells, reduce fine wrinkles, and enhance the skin’s natural brightness.
