The process of washing your face by using granule substance to get rid of the dead skin cells is known as exfoliating.
Exfoliation leaves your skin as smooth and soft as you could not imagine. You can exfoliate your face at home by using salt, sugar or baking soda. They are readily available and they really do wonders.
There are some of the mistakes that most people make while exfoliating;
Dry scrub
Exfoliating on dry skin is so dangerous to your skin. This is because it is painful when doing it and it can cause irritation to your skin. Ensure your skin is not dry before you exfoliate your skin.
Not moisturizing
After exfoliating, your skin needs to be moisturized. This is because the scrubbing leaves your skin dry. Most people tend to forget this and it is so dangerous to your skin. Always remember to apply a moisturizer after exfoliating your face.
Exfoliating harshly
If you think that exfoliating your skin so harshly is the way to do it, then you must be very wrong. Whenever you are doing it, ensure you do it gently and softly.
Forgetting around the eyes
Most people forget to exfoliate around their eyes. Remember that the eyes are also part of the face hence need to be exfoliated. The skin around the eyes is so delicate so you need to exfoliate gently.
