What is the best way to exfoliate your face?

All human skin has keratin. Facial keratin is a protective layer of the skin. Generally, this protective layer will be metabolized every 30-28 hours. If it is not removed in time, it will cause the skin to become dull, rough, and prone to acne. At this time, you can use some massage techniques and exfoliating products to effectively remove the keratin.

Why exfoliate?

1. The stratum corneum is our outermost layer of skin tissue, and 28 days is its metabolic cycle. The stratum corneum protects, moisturizes and protects against the sun, and can also effectively prevent the invasion of some microorganisms and bacteria. If it is not completely shed off from our skin during the normal metabolic period, then over time our stratum corneum will slowly accumulate, leading to various symptoms, such as acne.

2. Because the skin is rough and not smooth enough, and the complexion appears dull and yellow, these are most likely caused by not exfoliating for too long.

How to Exfoliate Properly

1: Clean your entire face with facial cleanser first

Use a facial cleanser containing salicylic acid to clean your face, and apply circles on the T-zone forehead from bottom to top. For the sides of the nose in the T-zone, rub and apply circles from the very bottom of the nose to the tip of the nose. For the cheeks, apply circles over a large area from bottom to top.

2: Start with the tip of your nose which is most prone to oiliness

Gently rub the exfoliating cream on your fingertips, using the temperature of your fingers to make it easier for the exfoliating cream to dissolve the keratin plugs on the nose. Rub the sides of the nose with exfoliating cream in circles, and massage the bridge of the nose with the fingertips of both hands, alternating up and down for 2-3 minutes. The time should not be too long.

3: Next is the chin, which is prone to accumulation of dead skin cells

The lymph nodes on both sides of the chin need to be massaged in circles frequently with exfoliating products. In addition, use the joints of your fingers to press the two bones next to the cheeks, which not only removes the dullness but also creates a small V-shaped face.

4: The forehead is also a disaster area and needs to be cleaned carefully

Improper cleaning can clog the pores and make acne more likely to occur on the forehead. When exfoliating, move from the corner of the eye to the forehead, and then from the forehead back to the corner of the eye, massaging in circles three times in this outline.
