The next tip when exfoliating is to be gentle. When choosing the right product to exfoliate with there are a few important factors to consider. If you are using a scrub it is important that the microbeads inside the scrub aren’t too large. For example, the St. Ives Apricot Scrub, that is a favorite for a lot of people, has microbeads in it that are too large for your face. Scrubs like the Olay Pro X and the Clean and Clear line have microbeads that are small enough for gentle exfoliation. If you feel like you absolutely can’t part with your favorite scrub, use it in moderation and with a very gentle massaging motion.
Remember: be good to your skin, and in return it will be good to you; never exfoliate everyday and cleanse your skin twice a day.
