Exfoliating your skin

Exfoliating can help remove dead skin cells that dull your complexion, in exfoliating this exposes the healthy, vibrant, smooth skin underneath.

I would only realy recommend exfoliating once a week as you dont want to over stress and end up damaging the skin all you are looking to do is lift the dead skin from the surface of your skin.

Its best to start by gently dry brushing your skin with a body brush before you get in the shower, It may sound strange but brushing can help stimulate blood flow, when brushing always do this in circular motions and upwards always towards your heart.
This brings nourishment to your skin and removes some surface flakes of any dead skin cells.
Its best to use a loofah or a brush with natural bristles, you can find these brushes in the bath section of your supermarket or local boots or the bodyshop do some great choices.

Next it also good to exfoliate the skin regulary, there are many types of scrubs on the market and choosing the right one is a matter of personal preference. Many scrubs incorporate aromatherapy, so pick one with a scent you enjoy and be careful f you have sensitive skin, look for scrubs that are unscented and hypoallergenic. (Don't use body scrubs on your face — the abrasives can be too harsh.)

After dry brushing massage the body scrub into your dry skin, then turn on the shower and rinse away the scrub and those built-up dead skin cells along with it.

Always give yourself a gentle lather with your daily cleanser and it is a must to follow up with full head-to-toe moisturiser and realy let this soak in.


If your skin will be exposed to the sun, add sunscreen 20 to 30 minutes before you head outside.
Sunscreen is always a good idea, and it’s particularly important after exfoliating, which exposes fresh new skin that's especially prone to sun damage.
