You can cleanse, moisturize and put on masks ’til the cows come home — but if you don’t have a regular exfoliation routine, you’re not doing your skin right.

Exfoliating — which is really just a fancy word for removing dead skin cells — helps expose the new and radiant skin underneath the surface. It’s also an excellent way to prep your skin for any creams, serums or treatments you slap on. The truth is if you’re looking to give yourself a natural glow, exfoliating from head to toe is one of the easiest ways to achieve it.



And when we say head to toe, we mean head to toe! We so often pamper our faces, but forget to do the same for the rest of our skin below the neck. Whether you are seeking to rejuvenate winter skin, trying to get bikini ready or getting prepared to apply tanning products, proper exfoliation is key.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Before stepping into the shower, brush your dry skin with your loofah, body brush or exfoliating gloves. This will help remove the loose skin and prepare your skin for the exfoliating process. Begin with the soles of your feet, working your way up your body.

Get into the shower and wet your body from head to toe. Don’t exfoliate your skin if you are sunburned or have any open cuts or wounds.
Use a pumice stone on your feet to eliminate rough spots and calluses. If your feet are extremely rough, soak them in a basin of warm water mixed with a cup of milk for 30 minutes before getting into the shower.

Apply your exfoliating cleanser to your loofah or gloves. Begin scrubbing your body in a circular motion starting with the bottom of your feet and working your way up. When you reach the bikini area, don’t scrub too hard because the skin is very sensitive.
