Things to know about exfoliation

In fact, many young people are still very "indifferent" to the problem of dead skin. According to beauty experts, dead skin begins to appear when you "reach the age" of 25. At this time, the keratin on the skin appears quite a lot, clogging the pores, which is also the reason why you feel your pores are getting bigger.

Exfoliation not only helps remove dirt and dead skin cells that clog pores - one of the causes of dull skin, but also increases the ability to absorb nutrients. After exfoliation, you will feel an immediate change, your skin becomes soft and smooth, this is the best stage for the skin to absorb nutrients from masks and creams effectively.

However, you should also pay attention to a few warnings from experts to make exfoliation effective and safe. It is best to regularly monitor your skin condition: oily skin, normal skin, dry skin or combination skin.

You should not exfoliate when your skin has acne or is sensitive, prone to allergies due to the weather...

If your skin is too oily, secretes a lot of keratin and is in a healthy state, you can exfoliate twice a week. If your skin is always in a normal state, you should exfoliate once a week.

Do not exfoliate too much as it can lead to redness and acne. Exfoliating too often also makes the skin thinner, reduces the skin's protective function under the sun, the skin is more susceptible to sunburn and premature aging.

According to beauty experts, professional exfoliation treatments from skin care centers are stronger than at-home exfoliation, so exfoliation should only be done at these centers once a week.

A simple and inexpensive method would be a more interesting choice: exfoliating at home. It is not difficult to make your own exfoliating product manually but very simple and effective. You can do it easily with only one ingredient: oatmeal.

How to prepare: You can buy pure oatmeal at supermarkets or stores specializing in European products. Mix enough powder with water to create a mixture that is not too thick. Then, spread this mixture evenly on the face (avoid the eye area) and gently massage in the direction of the skin structure.

You can keep this mask on your skin for about 15 minutes before washing your face because in addition to removing dead skin cells, oatmeal also adds many nutrients to make your skin smooth and rosy.

After washing off the exfoliating mask, don't forget to tighten your pores to prevent the old horny layer from reactivating, making it difficult for your skin to breathe.

An extremely simple and effective method is to use cold water taken from the refrigerator. Soak your hands in this cold water for a few seconds and then gently pat your face, paying attention to areas with large pores. If you do this method regularly, your skin will improve significantly: smoother and firmer, and pores will also be significantly smaller.

Exfoliation is not as complicated as many of you think. The simple method above also helps you perform makeup steps very quickly and easily on completely clean and healthy skin.
