You know exfoliation is important. Removing those dead skin cells is essential for a healthy glow because your cell regeneration process slows as you age. Even if you exfoliate regularly, though, doing it right is absolutely essential. Poor exfoliation could lead to serious skin damage, even cancelling out the benefits of the process completely. What are you doing wrong? Take a look.
- More Is Better: Many people believe that more is better when it comes to exfoliation. Scrub a little harder, use a bit more product, exfoliate more frequently – none of these actually help your skin. Whether you’re using a device or a cleanser, the key to exfoliation is to do it gently. Don’t be too rough on your skin. Use exactly the right amount of your product, and use it with a gentle touch for as long as the packaging directs.
- Only the Chin: Your face has four distinct regions – the forehead, the nose, the chin, and the cheeks. If you’re going to exfoliate well, you’re going to have to do your entire face. You can’t get consistent results if you’re not being consistent. Use the same pressure across your face, and keep an eye on your problem areas. They can change regularly, so if you notice a drier patch in one space, spend a few extra minutes on those areas.
- Skip the Moisture: If you’re going to clear away dead skin cells, you have to add some moisture back into your skin. Your skin needs nourishment, even if it’s oily. Find an option that helps give your skin a little TLC after you’ve scrubbed it.
Finding the Right Exfoliant
One key to better exfoliation is to ensure you have the right tool on your side. BIOREGENE Doux Peeling Crème is that perfect product. It refines the skin, offering a softer, smoother result. Used a couple of times a week, it will stimulate cell renewal by increasing oxygenation. Just cleanse your face, apply a layer with light, circular motion, then let it rest for 15 minutes. After that, use a soft microfiber cloth and warm water to remove it, then tone and moisturise. It’s the perfect way to exfoliate and purify in one easy step.
