Hello!

Skin exfoliation is one of the most important steps in every face and body care routine. If you do it regularly and with the use of appropriate cosmetics, it brings tremendous effects. How to exfoliate the skin correctly? Read today’s post and you’ll learn everything. 

What are the advantages of skin exfoliation?

You do not even realize how many benefits the skin exfoliation has. It works on both the outer layer of the skin and its deeper parts. Exfoliation:

• cleanses the skin pores;
• improves blood circulation;
• enhances skin elasticity and reduces the visibility of fine lines;
• brightens skin discolouration;
• preps the skin for further treatment;
• stimulates the skin to regenerate.

Homemade skin scrub vs. professional skin exfoliation at a salon

A homemade scrub will be a perfect complement to your daily care. Nevertheless, a much more effective treatment will be the exfoliation of the epidermis in the beauty salon. The cosmetologist will apply products that have better abrasive properties, contain higher concentration beautifying substances that will improve the skin condition more visibly. Thanks to exfoliating at the beauty salon you can get rid of wrinkles and discolouration, heal acne and significantly improve the condition of your skin.

What type of peeling to choose?

What type of peel you choose depends on the type of skin and its needs. For oily skin, the best will be a coarse peel, which will remove the top layer of the epidermis, clean the pores of the skin and prepare the face for further treatments. If acne is severe, consult a dermatologist before exfoliation. Improper use of the cosmetic can only exacerbate skin problems.

• Combination skin and complexion that lacks vitality require the use of fine-grained peels with a delicate effect. Thanks to them, dry skin on the cheeks and oily skin on the forehead, nose and chin will be comprehensively conditioned. To improve radiance and add energy to the skin lacking vitality you will need a scrub with vitamin C or fruit acids.
• For dry, sensitive, capillary skin care you will need enzyme peels. They are considered the best solution due to the fact that they do not contain abrasive particles, but plant enzymes that “dissolve” intercell connections and remove dead skin cells. Gentle peeling masks or creams will have equally good effects.

How to exfoliate the skin correctly?

It is enough to exfoliate dead skin cells once or twice a week. The skin must be thoroughly cleansed (there cannot be any traces of makeup and sebum). During the procedure, do not rub your face or body hard so as not to cause irritation. A coarse-grained peel or enzyme peel are best applied to a moisturised complexion, avoiding the eye and mouth area. The cosmetic should be massaged in circular motions, and after a few minutes, rinsed with lukewarm water. Now you can apply a rich mask or a cream.
