Izabella's tip of the week: Exfoliate!

Winter is over finally and it`s warming up outside.

Did the cold weather dry out your skin?

It`s time to give your skin a spring make over to get your healthy glow back.

Exfoliation is considered one of the most important techniques that you can perform on your skin to resolve certain skin problems as well as to achieve healthy and glowing skin.

Exfoliation should be the main focus of a homecare regime. So often, we are told to dry out the skin with harsh acne products. Although this will destroy acne-causing bacteria, it tends to dry out the skin, and this usually results in not only irritated skin but also in future breakouts. Why? Because, as you over-dry the skin, you create dead skin cell buildup. This then acts as a barrier to trap oil in the skin, thereby starting a cycle of new breakouts.

Also the more you remove the damaged surface skin tissue, the more you are ridding the skin of dark marks and hyperpigmentation encouraging the formation of new healthy (non-scarred) skin tissue.

During winter exfoliation is especially important. When the skin is dry, we tend to load up on heavier creams to compensate for the dryness. But dry skin means you have dead skin cell buildup. And the more you layer on the heavier creams, the more you are trying to re-hydrate dead skin cells. Instead, increase your exfoliation to remove the dead skin cells, and then moisturize the new skin cells, resulting in healthy and glowing skin.
