Adding Exfoliation to Your Skin Care Routine
After you fully complete your course of hair removal laser treatment, exfoliation is one of the skin care routines we often recommend. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells from the surface, allowing new skin cells to regenerate, thus making your skin look brighter and feel smoother.
We are continuing our series of articles discussing exfoliation. Today, we will explore some strategies and tips to consider when adding exfoliation to your skin care routine.
Choosing the Right Exfoliant
First and foremost, it’s crucial to choose the right exfoliant for your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to try a gentle chemical exfoliant or a physical exfoliant with fine particles. Oily skin benefits from exfoliants with ingredients like salicylic acid to unclog pores. Dry skin may require a more hydrating exfoliant like a cream based scrub.
Frequency of Exfoliation
It’s essential to find the right balance when it comes to how often you exfoliate. While exfoliating 2-3 times a week works well for most skin types, be mindful not to overdo it. Over exfoliation can irritate your skin and lead to redness or sensitivity.
Steps for Exfoliating
When exfoliating, follow these simple steps:
1) Begin by cleansing your face to remove any dirt or makeup;
2) Apply a small amount of exfoliant to your skin and gently massage it in circular motions;
3) Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow up with a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
