Does exfoliating gel hurt the skin? How to use exfoliating gel?

Our skin needs to be cleaned regularly. After the exfoliating gel unclogs the pores, it can better promote the skin's absorption of skin care products. If the dead skin on the face is not cleaned, it will become thicker and thicker.

Does exfoliating gel damage the skin?

Using exfoliating gel too frequently can damage the skin, but using it correctly will not cause any harm to the skin.

Exfoliating products only need to be used once a week. If you exfoliate frequently, the stratum corneum will become very thin, the skin's resistance will be weakened, the skin will be easily irritated, and it will become sensitive and have red bloodshot. When using exfoliating gel, avoid the area around the eyes and lips. After exfoliating, remember to apply soothing and moisturizing skin care products.

Does your face really need exfoliation?

The face needs to be exfoliated. Facial exfoliation can quickly remove old cuticles on the skin, thereby unblocking the pores, promoting the skin's absorption of skin care products, and stimulating the regeneration of skin cells. However, frequent exfoliation will make the skin's cortex thinner and thinner, making it sensitive.

Exfoliation with lotion: Pour lotion directly onto cotton pad, then wipe and pat the skin gently to remove aging cuticles.

Steam your face to exfoliate: first clean your facial skin, then apply toner and gently pat it, then take a basin of slightly warm water and start steaming your face (the water temperature should not be too high) for about a few minutes. The main function of facial steaming is to further soften the keratin on the facial skin, thereby easily and cleanly removing keratin and dead skin.

Exfoliation with a cleansing mask: A cleansing mask can also help you exfoliate easily, removing old, aged cuticles without the need for excessive massage. Note that after using the cleansing mask, you must apply toner and facial cream in time to replenish moisture and nutrients for the skin.

Exfoliation with scrub: Scrub is granular, so you must use the correct massage technique to avoid damaging your skin. When choosing a scrub, try to choose one with smaller particles.

How to use exfoliating gel

First clean your face and wipe off the water droplets on your face (remember your face must be dry and there should be no water droplets), then apply the exfoliating gel on your face, a thin layer is enough. After two minutes, massage and rub along the direction of the pores. There will be white granular debris, which are the debris of gel mixed with dead skin. After massaging for two or three minutes, rinse it off with clean water. Since the skin on the body is relatively thick and the stratum corneum is also thick, the method of use is the same as the above method for exfoliating the face, but the time spent on the face and the massage time need to be longer. It is recommended to use it before taking a bath, and avoid areas with acne or inflammation when using it.

Precautions for use: Do not use more than twice a week, especially if you have sensitive skin, such as myself, use it with caution. After washing your face, rub the gel in the palm of your hand and then massage it on your face. You can spend a little longer time on the sides of your nose and forehead. Be sure to avoid areas with acne or damaged skin. After massaging for a while, you can wash it normally and then apply skin care water and lotion to moisturize.

How often should I use exfoliating gel?

Many people think that the more times they exfoliate, the better. In fact, this is a very wrong approach. Exfoliating too much will only make your skin worse. Some exfoliating products say that they should be used two or three times a week, but in fact, exfoliating once a week is enough. Exfoliating incorrectly can harm your skin. Exfoliation should not be done too frequently, and it is also important to choose a good exfoliating product.
