Default The Benefits of Exfoliation

*No More Blackheads

Exfoliation has more benefits that you might know. Besides leaving your skin softer and smoother, the friction also boosts your circulation and helps unclog pores. If you have an area that is especially prone to blackheads, be sure to spend a little time gently exfoliating the area.

*Don't Forget the Lips

Lips can benefit from exfoliating as much as the rest of the body. One of the most popular methods is to use a soft baby's toothbrush.

*On To The Neck

We are often so aware of the deteriorization of the neck as we age, that we sometimes treat it too gently. A mild exfoliator can remove dead skin cells that we haven't even tried to remove.

Imagine how much fresher this area could look if you lose a few months worth of these cells.

*Mild Exfoliation For These Areas

Elbows and knees are often ignored and they can often become rough and dry. A damp facecloth can gently exfoliate the area followed with a good moisturizer.

*Exfoliation and Self Tanning

Exfoliation is very important especially if you are going to apply self tanner to your feet. Be sure to exfoliate every bit of dead skin or you will notice streaks that are darker than others.

*More Reasons to Exfoliate Your Feet

When the hot weather arrives, you won't want anyone to see dead skin cells and those dry, cracked heels peeking out of your sandals. Have you checked lately? It is more common than you might imagine. Luckily, there are a lot of foot exfoliation products on the market and an effective one that is also inexpensive is scrub called Bare Foot by Freeman.

Lynee, am curious to know what you recommend for exfoliating. I use brown sugar and honey, But I'm always on the look out for any other suggestions. Thanks

Wow...I never thought of exfoliating my neck area before. It has always been face, lips, limbs and feet for me.

Haha...thanks for the tips!
