Exfoliation, or the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin to make way for smoother skin cells, is one of the best ways to improve the skin’s texture and tone. What’s even better with exfoliating is it can be safely and easily done at home!

Here are some tips to help you effectively exfoliate to reveal a softer, smoother, and healthier skin:

Cleanse first before exfoliating.  Exfoliation of dry skin can scrub away the healthy skin cells. Before applying exfoliating products, it is important to cleanse the skin with lukewarm water to remove makeup and slightly open up the pores so the skin can absorb active ingredients and nutrients better.

Exfoliate in the morning. The skin repairs itself overnight, potentially leaving a layer of dead skin cells waiting to be removed. Because of this, it is ideal to exfoliate your skin in the morning to slough away remaining dead skin cells. 

Exfoliate gently. Exfoliating too hard or using harsh washcloths can lead to irritation and skin dryness. To safely exfoliate your face and body, use gentle, circular motions to help pull blackheads and remove dirt.  Avoid exfoliating if you have open cuts, wounds or sunburn to prevent skin damage. 

Use the right products. Make sure to use a safe and gentle exfoliating product. If you are still looking for a product that has a gentle formula but can remove dead skin cells and other pore-clogging impurities, try using the new Hello Glow Skin Purifying Peeling Gel. It is formulated with salicylic acid which unclogs pores that causes blackheads and whiteheads and helps remove red inflamed pimples. It also contains papaya extract which reduces the appearance of large pores and lightens dark spots. Hello Glow Skin Purifying Peeling Gel visibly exfoliates when massaged into the skin and can also be used to exfoliate the face and body.

Tone and moisturize. To close your pores after exfoliating, you can use a gentle oil-fighting cleanser. After cleansing, make sure you use a toner and moisturizer to help your skin regain moisture and look glowing. 

Reveal that fresh glow and improve the health and texture of your skin by following these tips and by using Hello Glow Skin Purifying Peeling Gel.
