Follow these simple steps to exfoliate your body safely and effectively:
1. Prep Your Skin: Take a warm shower before exfoliating to soften the skin and open up the pores. This helps the exfoliant work more effectively.
2. Choose a Gentle Exfoliant: Use a body scrub or exfoliating soap bar with natural exfoliating particles, such as crushed herbs, seeds, or minerals, that won’t irritate your skin.
3. Apply in Circular Motions: Work the exfoliant into your skin using small, circular motions. Focus on rougher areas like elbows, knees, and heels.
4. Don’t Scrub Too Hard: Be gentle. Over-exfoliating or applying too much pressure can irritate or damage your skin.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: Use lukewarm water to rinse off all product and exfoliated debris.
6. Moisturize After: Always follow up with a hydrating lotion or oil to lock in moisture and support your skin’s natural barrier.
For best results, exfoliate once or twice per week to maintain soft, smooth, and glowing skin without overdoing it.
