Method 1: Exfoliate dead skin.
1. Soak the towel in warm water. Gently apply a wet towel to your face and let it stand for a minute or two to open pores and prepare for exfoliation. Exfoliation is one of the most effective ways to remove dead skin, but pay attention to keep the towel warm and not too hot.
2. Wash your face with mild facial cleanser. After applying a warm towel to your face, wash your face with a mild facial cleanser (such as Stafford), or use the facial cleanser you use every day as a step of skin care. Cleaning the skin can further help to open pores, better prepare for facial skin, and effectively exfoliate. After washing your face, remember to pat your skin gently with a dry towel. Be gentle, don't rub hard, so as not to hurt your skin.
You can try to stand in front of the fan and blow dry your body, especially in places where you can't reach it.
3. Try physical exfoliation. There are two ways to exfoliate: physical method and chemical method. Physical exfoliation refers to using products that remove dead skin cells by applying pressure. Physical exfoliating tools include exfoliating pads and microcrystalline exfoliating tools. Skin care experts do not recommend microcrystal skin replacement without consulting a doctor or dermatologist, otherwise it will easily damage or irritate the skin.
L 'Oré al, Ponzi, Clinique, Neutrogena and other skin care companies are currently producing household microdermabrasion tools.
They usually include scrubbing tools or special scrubbing tools.
Sometimes, they are also equipped with microcrystalline dermabrasion cloth, whose fibers are coarser than ordinary cloth and can be used to remove dead skin cells.
Olay Regenerated Microcrystalline Skin Rejuvenation and Exfoliation Kit is an example.
4. Try chemical exfoliation. There are many kinds of products to choose from. You'd better consult a professional beautician or dermatologist to choose the right product. If you can't afford professional consultation, you can read the product label carefully and then choose the product that suits your skin. After washing your face, gently dry it and carefully apply chemical exfoliating products. Apply it to your face and make sure it covers the whole face.
Gently massage the chemical exfoliating agent until it is absorbed by the skin. Try to do a gentle circular motion with your fingers, but don't push too hard. After all, you don't want to hurt your skin unintentionally.
Many people also exfoliate their necks.
The chemical exfoliating agent includes glycolic acid skin or lactic acid skin. Part of the reason why they are so effective is the acidity of these peels.
Chemical exfoliation is often better than physical exfoliation, especially in the long-term effect, because it can enter the deep skin. The working principle of chemical exfoliation is to break chemical bonds, and then release dead skin cells, making them easier to fall off.
5. Wash your face with water after exfoliation, and then pat dry. Let the face stand in a natural air-drying state for about five minutes, and then apply moisturizing lotion. Moisturizing lotions are recommended as a part of daily skin care, because they can help prevent signs of premature aging and make your skin healthy and radiant.
You know, you can also exfoliate other parts of your body. Basically, all parts of your body can be exfoliated in the same way except sensitive parts and mucous membranes. However, the part that people exfoliate most often is the face or neck, because these parts are the most conspicuous in public places, and they are often related to the beauty problems that everyone is most concerned about. Look for exfoliating scrub suitable for other parts of the body. These scrubs can only be used on other parts of the body, not on the face.
7. Try to use pure natural products made of home materials. Not all exfoliating products are bought in stores. In fact, if you prefer a more natural method, you can easily make exfoliating cream, exfoliating cream and scrub at home. Here are two simple and easy-to-use methods: scrub products made of sugar and oil: a very economical and efficient skin scrub can be made by mixing the same amount of brown sugar with any edible oil (such as olive oil and grape seed oil). Apply it to the skin to exfoliate, and then rinse it off with soap and water. Adding a spoonful of honey and a few drops of lemon juice can also provide extra nutrition for the skin.
Greek yogurt papaya enzyme facial conditioning mask: mix half a cup of Greek yogurt with three tablespoons of papaya sauce. Apply it to your face or body, keep it for 15 to 30 minutes, then tear it off and wash your face.
Method 2: peeling feet.
1, soak your feet first. Pour a pot of warm water, put your feet in it and let it soak for 5 to 10 minutes, which will soften calluses and prepare for successful exfoliation. You can add some extra virgin olive oil to the water to promote the softening of calluses.
Dry your feet with a towel after soaking them.
2. Try a physical exfoliating brush. You can buy an exfoliating brush in a cosmetics store and use it to gently circle along the soles of your feet, paying special attention to hard or dead skin parts such as heels. This is an effective way to remove dandruff or dead skin. Besides brushes, you can also use a foot file or a foot grinder. At present, the foot grinder on the market is an effective method to physically remove dead skin on feet. You can also try an exfoliating cream specially designed for your feet.
Step 3 use pumice. If there is a particularly hard dead skin area on the skin, such as calluses, pumice is an effective removal tool. Be sure to clean the pumice after use and let it dry thoroughly before the next use.
Finally, remember to moisturize the sole skin. After exfoliation, the use of moisturizing cream can ensure the best protection for new skin and make it more healthy and lasting. Wear socks outside in case you slip when walking.
5, pedicure. If you don't want to repair it yourself, you can ask others for help. When you get a pedicure, they will let you soak your feet and get a manicure. Some people only use microcrystalline rejuvenation to remove hard skin, while others use blades to remove dead skin. They can also treat all the calluses on your feet.
Method 3: Prevent dead skin.
1, using moisturizing products. Usually, your skin will secrete natural oils to keep soft, healthy and moist. However, if something removes these oils or interferes with their production, the skin will become dry, flaky and cracked. Once the skin needs soothing because it is too dry, you should always apply moisturizing lotion, cream or balsam. These moisturizing products work by keeping a layer of oil or fat near the skin. Make applying lotion a part of your daily life. For example, you can try to put a bottle of hand cream next to each sink in the kitchen and bathroom so that you can use it after washing your hands. Generally speaking, the thicker the moisturizing cream, the more helpful it is to restore moisture to the skin. Therefore, thick cream, balsam and "grease" are usually more effective than thin emulsion. However, these sometimes make you feel uncomfortable and "greasy". Try different options and see what suits you best.
2. Cover your skin in cold weather. In many parts of the world, winter means cold and dry outdoor air and warm and dry indoor air brought by heating system. Together, these conditions will cause very serious damage to the skin, leading to dryness, cracking and inflammation of the skin. One of the best ways to protect skin safety in winter is to cover the skin with long sleeves and other coverings. The less your skin is exposed to dry and cold air, the less you need to worry about dehydration caused by the weather.
3. Avoid excessive use of rough abrasives. Sometimes hard abrasives, such as pumice and bristles, can remove hard and accumulated dead skin deposits well. But if used too frequently or on sensitive skin, these abrasives will make the skin turn red and rough, which will make the skin drier and more irritating in the long run. If you feel pain after exfoliation, or if you find that your skin is red, you need to rest for a few days, and then use a milder abrasive. For example, if a stiff shower brush irritates your skin, try switching to a gentle towel, which will allow you to better control the exfoliation speed.
4. Avoid taking a long hot bath. Although hot water can make people relax, it will take away the oil on the skin and make the skin dry easily. In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to keep the water temperature appropriate, not to overheat, and limit the shower time to a reasonable length, about 10 minutes or even less. The shorter the shower time, the lower the water temperature, and the less likely the skin is to dry. The same applies to taking a bath in the bathtub. The shorter the time, the lower the water temperature. You should also try to avoid bubble bath and other bathing methods using soap, because it will also destroy the natural oil of the skin.
Pat yourself after taking a shower (don't dry it with a towel) until it is completely dry. The back and forth rubbing of the towel will remove the natural oil produced in warm water and stimulate delicate skin.
5. Consider changing soap. Some soaps and cleaning products contain chemicals, which can dry sensitive skin and remove natural protective oil from the skin. Especially alcoholic soap is the worst. Although alcohol can kill bacteria, it can seriously dehydrate the skin. Although good hand hygiene is very important to prevent the spread of diseases, you don't need to scratch your hands with rough soap to keep them clean, so you can try to use milder soap (such as Dove's "sensitive muscles") or soap that can "moisturize" to prevent dry and damaged skin. Don't wash your whole body with soap, only wash the dirty parts such as underarms, groin, under breasts and between toes.
6. Try a mild steam bath. For some people, spending a few minutes in a steam bath or sauna can help soften dry skin, clean pores, and most importantly, it feels great. If you can use a professional steam room, you can occasionally stay in the steam room for a few minutes to half an hour as a weekly routine. Pay attention to safety when using the steam room or sauna, don't stay in a comfortable room for too long, don't turn on the heating so much that it is difficult to breathe or stay awake, and most importantly, don't drink alcohol in the sauna.
