Skin Care Tip: Gentle Exfoliation

Tip description / details:
Keep a stack of clean wash cloths (100% cotton) by the sink. Use one every evening to wash face with lukewarm water and mild cleanser, such as Cetaphyl. This will gently slough off dead skin cells that lead to breakouts, and will also thoroughly wash off makeup. Be sure to use a clean wash cloth for each use. A warm wash cloth is the perfect place for bacteria growth. Throw used wash cloths in the dirty laundry. Twice per week, mix baking soda with cleanser until it forms a paste. Gently apply to skin with circular motion. Rinse off. The baking soda will polish your skin, giving it a healthy glow without irritating it. If more exfoliation is needed, this final step can be taken by those who are less sensitive. Use an AHA toner, such as Proactiv's Revitalizing Toner, containing Glycolic Acid. This toner also contains calming ingredients, such as aloe and witch hazel. This helps remove excess dirt, as well as refreshes and balances the skin. Apply the moisturizer of your choice. Be sure to apply sun screen, especially when using products with glycolic acid.
