We've just about made it through the winter months and will soon begin breaking out our spring/summer wardrobes and start showing more skin. Skin that might be a bit dull and dry. To rejuvinate dull winter skin, it's important to exfoliate and moisturize. Many women exfoliate their faces but forget about other body parts, like our legs. As the weather heats up and you get bikini ready, you should exfoliate all over. Exfoliation is also important before applying tanning products.
Before stepping into the shower, brush your dry skin with your loofah, body brush or exfoliating gloves. This will help remove the loose skin and prepare your skin for the exfoliating process.
Begin with the soles of your feet, working your way up your body. This also helps to stimulate your lymphatic sytem, part of your bodies detoxifying support system.
Get into the shower and wet your body from head to toe. Don't exfoliate your skin if you are sunburned or have any open cuts or wounds.
Use a pumice stone on your feet to eliminate rough spots and calluses. If your feet are extremely rough, soak them in a basin of warm water mixed with a cup of milk for 30 minutes before getting into the shower.
Apply
Onsen's Crystal Clear Scrub in Lavender or Sweet Macadamia to your loofah or gloves. Begin scrubbing your body in a circular motion starting with the bottoms of your feet and working your way up. When you reach the bikini area, use a lighter pressure because the skin is very sensitive.
Use a body brush to exfoliate your back and other hard-to-reach places.
Don't forget about your hands. You want them to look and feel soft and smooth too!
Rinse your body with lukewarm water, follow by the coldest water you can stand.
Use body moisturizer once a day. Exfoliation is drying to the skin, so you must keep your skin hydrated.
This is a great treatment to do once or twice a week.
So come on! Reveal your skins natural, beautiful glow and get noticed!
Enjoy!
