Face exfoliation. I have a love and hate relationship with exfoliating. It can be a hit or miss for me since I have sensitive skin. I have tried numerous face scrubs, but the Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub stole my heart about two months ago. Mind you, I went a year without exfoliating my face since I had a rough skin journey last year. First off, the smell is quite delicious. It smells so fresh and lively. I think I look forward to the smell and tingling sensation more than anything LOL. This is a physical scrub so if you don’t like physical scrubs, this is not for you. I have tried a chemical exfoliate before, and it ate away at my poor skin. The perks of having normal but dry but sensitive skin, UGHHHHHH! I exfoliate my face once every other week. If I feel like I need to exfoliate my skin I will once a week. I rather opt for a clay detoxing mask since my skin LOVES clay masks. I must note that you should only exfoliate your skin 1-3 times per week. You don’t want to damage your skin barrier causing your skin to become dull, dry, and flaky. As I said before, and I will continue to say, listen to your skin.
Why it is important to exfoliate your skin:
- It removes dead skin cells off of your face
- It helps unclog pores that are congested
- It helps moisturizer penetrate deeper into the skin
- It helps with acne and hormonal breakouts
- It leaves your skin looking fresh and healthy
- It improves skin appearance and texture
- It helps fade acne blemishes (sometimes)
- It gives your skin a good glow
How to exfoliate:
- Wash your face with your gentle cleanser first
- Rinse your skin off with warm water
- Pat your face Dry
- Apply the face scrub to a clean and dry face
- Massage the scrub in a circular motion going upwards for 1-2 minutes
- Rinse the scrub off with warm water
- Pat your face dry
- Apply your face moisturizer(s) and you are done
I purchased the Biore Scrub off of Amazon but I have seen this scrub in Fred Meyers, CVS, and Target. Biore also has a wide range of products that I read are amazing. They have facial cleansers, masks, scrubs and much more.
