Are you exfoliating properly? I'm Kasey Boone, a licensed esthetician in Los
Angeles and today we're gonna go over everything you need to know about
exfoliating. First what is exfoliating and why do you need to do it?
Exfoliation is the removal of dead, dry skin that's sitting on top of your skin.
You can remove it two different ways, either with a physical scrub or chemical
exfoliation with an enzyme or an acid. Have you ever wondered why a baby's skin
is so soft? That's because they're replacing their cells every few days.
Unfortunately, as we age our skin cell turnover slows down causing buildup in
the skin. Exfoliation is gonna help remove that dead, dry skin to leave you
smoother, softer, and brighter. Next, what step is exfoliation? Exfoliation should
happen after the cleanse but before you apply serum and moisturizer. The reason you
exfoliate is to remove the dead, dry skin so that when you apply the serums and the
moisturizer, they're able to penetrate deeply into the skin. If you're not
exfoliating that product isn't going into the skin. They go hand in hand.
How often should you be exfoliating? Exfoliation should be a staple in
everyone's skincare routine. If you have normal to combination skin, you should be
exfoliating 2 to 3 times a week. If you have drier or sensitive skin, you should
be exfoliating 1 to 2 times a week. Last, where do I exfoliate? You should be
exfoliating your full body but today we're gonna go for 4 different areas
that will give you maximum impact, especially in these cold winter months.
First up is your scalp. Exfoliating your scalp will help remove dandruff, product
buildup, and oil, and clear the pores making it easier for healthy hair to grow.
Start by taking THE OUAI Scalp and Body Scrub and applying it to wet hair.
Make sure you part your hair down the middle to reveal your scalp and massage product in
circular motions to gently exfoliate before rinsing. This scrub can be used on
the body and the scalp. The sugar crystals in it help remove dead dry skin
without drying out the hair. Probiotics to balance your skin's natural bacteria
levels and coconut oil that has fatty acids that nourish and moisturize the
scalp and body. To avoid irritating your scalp, don't over exfoliate. Keep it at
once a week. After you've buffed everything away, you want to soothe your scalp with
a hydrating conditioning treatment to get the healthiest hair possible.
The ALTERNA HAIRCARE Caviar Moisture CC Cream is a leave-in conditioner and styling cream in one.
Using this product after you exfoliate will help replenish and moisturize.
Next, we're going over hands. Exfoliation of the hands is something
that can be easily forgotten but is very important. In order to avoid damaging
your hands it's important to exfoliate just as much as your face and body.
Pick up the same THE OUAI Scalp and Body Scrub and buff onto wet hands.
Make sure you get both the top and bottom of the hands, as well as in between your fingers.
Wash clean with warm water and dry off your hands. It's important to put moisture
back into the hands right after you exfoliate so your hands don't dry out,
especially in these winter months. Applying the AHAVA Dead Sea Water
Mineral Hand Cream will nourish dry skin and absorb quickly into the cuticles and
hands to maintain healthy hydrated skin. Next, we're exfoliating your face.
By now you know exfoliation is your skin's best friend. If you want to keep your skin
fresh make sure you're finding the right set of products that are best for your skin.
The YENSA Pumpkin Turmeric 2-in-1 Radiance Polishing Mask is a
double duty product that serves as both a face mask and a wash. It's rich in
vitamin A and C and AHAs that help brighten and smooth the skin. The formula
has tiny sugar granules that will gently exfoliate and polish your skin. To use as
a mask simply apply to clean, damp skin and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes. To
rinse gently massage in circular motions with warm water for 30 seconds.
To use as a face wash simply skip the first step and jump directly into
circular motions. After you've rinsed off your exfoliator
your skin should feel smooth and tight. Now it's time to drench it with
hydration. The H2O PLUS BEAUTY Oasis Hydrating Treatment Water Gel
Moisturizer is a lightweight formula that absorbs rapidly and more than
doubles the skin hydration. Since your skin is fresh and new it will soak up
every drop of goodness and will result in soft hydrated skin. Pick up a nickel's
worth of product and apply it all over the face. Now that you're glowing,
amp up that no makeup makeup look with the LXMI Nilotica Goddess Glow.
Since this product doubles as an illuminator and skincare it's the perfect finishing touch.
Blend the product evenly for an allover
glow or layer it up for an extra illumination on the high points.
The rose gold illuminator will moisturize, smooth, and add radiance to give you that lit from within look.
Regardless of climate chapped lips can come out of nowhere and
leave you with painful cracks and flakes and who wants that? Exfoliating your lips
will keep the dead, dry skin off and the juicy plump lips here to stay
the HANALEI Lip Scrub gently exfoliates your lips using real Maui sugar crystals
and helps soothe with pure Kukui nut oil from Hawaii. All you have to do is scoop
a little out and buff onto your lips in, you guessed it, circular motions.
No dryness here! Shea butter in the scrub will help lock the moisture and help
restore softness. After you've rinsed the scrub with warm water, it's time to top
your lips with a conditioning lip balm. HEMPZ's Ultra Moisturizing Herbal Lip Balm
has a hundred percent pure natural hemp seed oil providing lips with tons
of hydration and nourishment. So if you have dry, chapped lips you will love
this product. By now you should know all the basics of exfoliating. It's time to
go home and try it yourself. Thank you so much for hanging out with me today!
