Our skin is exposed to a myriad of external aging factors. These external aging factors can cause our complexions to become dull and sallow. On top of that, our own body removes dead skin cells. Cleansing alone cannot remove dead skin cells. They usually stick to the pore wall of the skin.
If you want to solve dry and dull skin problems, you should exfoliate your dermis regularly. Let me tell you a couple of tips on how to exfoliate correctly:
1. Try using exfoliating enzymes. These enzymes are usually found in yellow or orange fruits and vegetables, such as papaya, squash, and pineapple. If you have leftover soft, ripe squash at home, mix it up. Add brown sugar for an additional exfoliating effect.
Exfoliating enzymes work to break down the component that binds dead cells to the pore walls. In this way, you can easily get rid of dead cells and make your skin look instantly brighter.
2. Citrus fruits have natural exfoliating properties. Our skin is naturally acidic. That being said, acid treatments work to correct common skin problems. Citric acid is a good choice because it works well to remove dead skin cells and facilitate dermis tissue renewal.
I highly recommend lime and lemon juice as exfoliants. Try mixing lime or lemon juice with honey. Apply it on your damp skin. Leave it there for 30 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water.
3. Milk can actually help remove unwanted dirt and dead cells on the surface of the dermis. In fact, this can also facilitate a gentle exfoliating action. In this way, younger and healthier tissues can be pushed towards the surface of the dermis. Apply milk on your clean skin. Let it sit there for about an hour before washing it off.
4. Exfoliates wet skin. Do not apply the mixture to dry skin as the abrasive particles can irritate the superficial layers of the dermis. If you apply it to dry skin, make sure the scrub contains moisturizing ingredients like olive oil or honey.
After rubbing your dermis, moisturize immediately. Dry your skin and apply a hydrating moisturizer. Look for a moisturizer with CynergyTK, Phytessence Wakame, and Nano Lipobelle HEQ10.
CynergyTK is an ingredient that has been taken from sheep’s wool. It is a good source of functional keratin. This is the protein that the dermis needs for better collagen growth. Phytessence Wakame is also essential for its ability to prevent hyaluronic acid loss. This acid is vital for the lubrication of collagen fibers. Nano Lipobelle HEQ10 is an antioxidant. It can penetrate to the deepest layer of the dermis to combat free radicals.
