Low humidity days can cause dry and flaky skin, especially when moisturizing and care are not done properly, leading to skin peeling when applying makeup. Cold weather conditions make the dead skin cells easier to peel off, while the deeper layers of cells are more stubborn and harder to remove. That’s why you should exfoliate your skin in any season of the year.
Proper exfoliation will help maintain soft, rosy skin that does not peel during the dry season. Dry skin can reduce the frequency of exfoliating dead cells to once a week to remove dirt and improve blood circulation.
Be sure to apply sunscreen when going outside, even on cloudy days. Neglecting to apply sunscreen after exfoliating can darken the skin.
Chemical exfoliation
Chemical exfoliation often refers to the ingredients AHA and BHA. AHA has the ability to produce ceramides in the skin, helping to increase moisture, while BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) can penetrate deep into the pores, removing dead cells and sebum. This ingredient is particularly effective in removing blackheads and acne on the skin.
You should use products with concentrations ranging from low to high to allow your skin to adjust gradually, and apply 2-3 times a week. Apply a sufficient amount to the entire face, avoiding the eye area. After exfoliating, continue to care for the skin with moisturizers.
Natural ingredients
– Coffee grounds: When applied to the skin and gently massaged, ground coffee will quickly remove dead skin cells and promote blood circulation on the face. As a result, the skin becomes soft and smooth. Coffee contains many powerful antioxidants, which can help inhibit harmful free radicals and limit signs of aging such as wrinkles, dark spots, dullness…
– Honey: Honey has good antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, effectively removing dead skin cells, excess sebum, dirt… Just mix pure honey and fresh lemon juice in equal proportions. After cleansing the skin with a facial cleanser, apply the mixture evenly to the skin and rinse after 1 minute.
Wait for about 15 minutes, then rinse your face with cool water. You can perform this 1-2 times a week, depending on your skin type to care for and maintain the beauty of your skin.
