Look Younger ... with good skin!

Thursday 1 August 2013

A quick way to looking refreshed and glowing is to exfoliate your skin, at least once a week.  A lot of people skip exfoliating their skin and rely on expensive moisturisers & serums to lift dull complexions, but this is a little bit like painting over a wall that obviously needs plastered.  Would you paint over a wall in a house that didn't have smooth walls?

Likewise, you need to remove the dead skin on your face, before applying your moisturiser, to make sure you're not wasting your money on hydrating dead skin.

The product I use & recommend to all my clients, as it's suitable for very sensitive skin, is Dermalogica's Gentle Cream Exfoliant.  It contains no artificial fragrance or colours, but smells lovely and gets great results!




Rather than commiting to buying a full size tube, try out a travel size to see the results.  The best prices I can find are on ebay, £7.99 for 2 travel tubes.

Or, if you prefer to use 100% natural ingredients, make your own sugar & honey exfoliator to nourish & clarify.  Combine 1 teaspoon sugar with 1/2 teaspoon honey, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and mix well. If the mixture is a little loose, add a bit more sugar.  I'd advise applying 10 / 15 minutes before your shower though, as it can get a bit messy to remove otherwise.
