Exfoliating Daily for Best Results
There are many benefits to the practice of exfoliating daily. A facial cleanser is a good first step towards clean, healthy and smooth skin, but daily facial cleansing isn’t enough – you need to do more. In addition to scrubbing away dead skin cells with an exfoliator product, replenishing your skin every day with nutrients like vitamin a palmitate or vitamin e acetate will keep the fresh layers underneath healthy. Nourish it with enough vitamins and minerals and feel good!
There is a fine line when using a body or facial scrub when it comes to being rough or gentle while exfoliating on a daily basis to care for your skin. One such facial cleanser is the Dove Gentle Exfoliating Daily Facial Cleanser. It features ¼ moisturizing lotion and is a beauty product designed for all skin types. In it are soft massage beads that dissolve as the cleanser lathers across the skin. The idea is that the beads massage away the dead skin, while the moisturizer keeps the living skin silky smooth. Another thing when exfoliating daily is to wash away the exfoliant completely for best effect for all skin types. So with a facial cleanser like the one from Dove, the idea is to massage it into the skin as the cleanser lathers to release its exfoliating beads. You let the beads dissolve as you work out the lather entirely while cleansing, then wash away completely with good clean water.
Besides just different brands, there are also different scents and varieties of daily skin exfoliator products. Green tea leaf fragrance is one of the most popular. I have been lucky enough to go about trying many different exfoliating skin products and green tea is by far my favorite, particularly for my face. To digress, I once made a homemade exfoliator using green tea extracts and another using grape seed extract, but the results were less than great. Revealing fresh, new skin cells that are hidden by the dead stuff is very important to me. So, now I do as most normal people do and do what’s best – I buy the pre-made stuff that comes in a bottle to replenish new skin every day. I have been using over the counter products for years to wash clean and clear and have been very happy with the results.
So, the bottom line is to cleanse your skin daily, exfoliating dry, lifeless skin and unblocking pores using the right product for your skin type. There are many products on the market so feel free to experiment and choose the best one. Try one for all skin types if your skin seems normal, or experiment with others to see which will help leave your skin in the best condition.
Lastly, keep in mind that you should review the ingredients in these skincare products to make sure they all agree with you. Many are hypoallergenic, but some may not be. For example, if you’re considering the Dove exfoliating product, review these ingredients: Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Propylene Glycol, Stearic Acid, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Oxidized Polyethylene, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Saccharomyces Magnesium Ferment, Saccharomyces Zinc Ferment, Agar, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Sodium Lauryl Sarcosinate, Polyethylene, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Fragrance, DMDM Hydantoin, Disodium EDTA, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate and Ultramarine Blue coloring.
