Well, it can! Through the magical power of exfoliation!
One of the easiest and most effective ways to create younger looking skin is to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. This can be done quickly and easily through the simple process of exfoliation. Heres how to exfoliate your skin at home:
1. Visit your local drugstore and purchase a special loofah or exfoliation pad designed specifically for the face. You dont want to use one made for the body as this would be too rough for your facial skin. Pick up an exfoliating cleanser designed made for the face. Again, avoid body formulations.You need something gentle.
2. Moisten your face lightly with warm water.
3. Apply a small amount of the exfoliating cleanser to your exfoliation pad.
4. Gently rub your face with the exfoliation pad using a light, circular motion. This should always be done in a gentle manner to avoid irritating the skin and to avoid rupturing the tiny blood vessels under your skin which can result in permanent facial flushing requiring laser treatment.
5. Do 3-5 rounds with the exfoliation pad on your face continuing to use a light, gentle circular motion. Avoid the eye area as the skin is quite thin there.
6. Rinse with warm water and apply a light moisturizer.
7. Admire the glow of your freshly exfoliated face in the mirror.
This one quick, simple procedure can really make your skin look younger. After exfoliating, your skin will have a more radiant look and a smoother feel. You makeup will go on more smoothly. Theres actually some thought that regular stimulation of your skins surface through exfoliation may help to promote collagen production which can promote skin firmness and reduce the signs of aging. Just dont overdo it!
How often should you exfoliate your skin?
Most dermatologists recommend once of twice a week. If you have thin, sensitive skin, start by exfoliating once a week. If you tolerate this well, you can try increase the frequency to twice a week. Always remember to use an exfoliating cleanser made for facial skin and be gentle with your motions.
Give exfoliiation a try! Youre going to love your "new skin" when you look in the mirror!
