4 Do's and Don'ts of Facial Exfoliation

Many people omit facial exfoliation from their skin care regimen. This is one of the most important factors in maintaining a youthful and healthy complexion.

When you exfoliate, you remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, allowing the healthy, glowing skin beneath to emerge. It aids in acne prevention by removing dead skin cells from the pores. It also increases blood flow, which aids in the production of collagen, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Exfoliating leaves the skin silky, soft, and more able to absorb subsequent products.

It's critical that you follow the instructions exactly to prevent any skin irritations from occurring.

Here, we'll cover five of the most critical dos and don'ts when it comes to exfoliation. Start to see the glowing skin that is rightfully yours.

 

Use Natural Products

It's important to find an exfoliant that won't irritate your skin while it's doing its job.

Because oatmeal is so soothing to the skin, it can be used on even the most sensitive skin types. Lavender essential oil, for example, can soothe skin irritation, relax the mind, fight acne, and leave your skin feeling hydrated and soothed. You can add other essential oils for additional benefits.

Even with a "natural" product, you have to be careful. No matter how organic or natural a product is, it's important to make sure you're not allergic to any of the ingredients.

Always test a new product on a small area of your skin before applying it to the rest of your face

 

Avoid Over-exfoliating 

Although many people believe they can exfoliate every single day, this is not recommended. As soon as you exfoliate, your skin needs time to re-establish old cells, which can cause redness, irritation, and inflammation if you exfoliate daily. Slow and steady wins the race, so don't be afraid to experiment and see what works for you.

 

Avoid Harsh Abrasives

Artificial exfoliants can damage your skin's lipid barrier because they use harsh abrasives to remove dead skin cells. Always check the label to make sure you're putting nothing but the purest ingredients on your delicate skin.

Certain parabens, such as methylparaben and ethylparaben, should be avoided, as well. SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and SLES are common skin irritants (Sodium Laureth Sulfate). To make your scrub lather up, SLS and SLES are frequently used. Some drawbacks include the use of chemicals in its production
