EXFOLIATE AND SLOUGH AWAY DULL END OF SUMMER SKIN!
Sunlight does more than just tan our skin, it also gives important vital vitamins, clears skin from breakouts and opens pores, and sometimes heals some skin conditions. Sort of like a natural exfolient, new skin cells turn over quicker in the summer too, which is also helpful in giving the skin a healthy summer glow.
Now that summer is winding down, our skin can revert back to it’s old ways, breakouts start returning, tans fade, and now can sometimes lack that glow we enjoyed earlier in the summer. It’s the “in-between seasons” that can always mess up our looks, makeup shades, and skin.
One way to help get back that glow, help your makeup apply and look fabulous, and obtain the true tone of your skin is EXFOLIATING. I was recently surprised to learn how many women DON’T exfoliate on a weekly basis, but now more than ever it’s very beneficial to do it.
WHAT’S EXFOLIATING?
The process of removal of the dead outer cells is known as exfoliation. Exfoliators or skin sloughers, are speedy skin improvers. Usually they come as a scrub (granular like texture) or in a cream containing acids (such as alpha hydroxy or fruit acids). The most commonly known exfoliaters are scrubs. You may have tried or used apricot or walnut scrubs commonly found at drug stores. Exfoliating has many benefits to the skin. By removing the dead cells from the surface of the skin, your skin becomes smoother and brighter in seconds. They also help skin that is prone to age or dark spots stay clearer, and increases the cell turnover rate-so the skin looks younger for longer. Exfoliation is an integral part of skin care. The shedding of dead skin cells and the formation of the new ones is a constant process. A healthy skin renews itself totally in about 28 days, but can take as long as up to 6 week if NOT taken care of. The shedding of dead cells encourages the turnover of healthy new ones. With age the process of self renewal slows down (a babies skin renews itself every 6 DAYS). This leads to a buildup of dead cells on the outer layer. The skin acquires a dull tone, the texture becomes rough and the skin's capacity of absorb products becomes significantly less (which means that fabulous expensive serum you have is barely penetrating your skin to reap the benefits!). Cellular buildup on the outer layer can also occur due to various other reasons. Removal of the dead epithelial cells helps to accelerate the production of new cells.
MAKEUP BENEFITS
A master artist would never paint on a bad canvas! Consider your face an awesome canvas, and your makeup to enhance and accentuate your natural beauty (no matter how much or how little makeup you wear). No makeup can cover everything and still look natural, so taking care of your skin is really the first step in your overall great look. But let me tell you how fabulous your makeup goes on after exfoliating! Your moisturizer applies evenly and smoothly (and you even are using less moisturizer!).
Now that you know the benefits of sloughing away dead skin cells, It is important to choose a product that is very gentle so that you don’t scratch the dermis of the skin! Cheap exfoliating scrubs do more damage than good, as the large “scrubbies” or exfoliating agent can scratch the skin microscopically, introducing bacteria and causing infection and breakouts. It can also create tough skin, sort of like how callouses are formed on the feet. If the skin is constantly being overly rubbed, it will attempt to protect itself and create tougher skin.Now for the good stuff….
