Actually, you want to know what's the best?
every day , with your favorite body wash use the loofah. When they are new they kind of hard, so go gently, then with every day use it becomes softer, Honestly I've using for years and my whole body skin is as soft as a baby, then I put on every day my bath%26amp;body and Victoria's body lotion. No bumpy rash on any part of body. Try it! make sure to rinse it very well after each use,.What's the best product to exfoliate your body?
There is a product made and distributed by a young woman out of Dallas Texas. Margo's Mixtures by Margo MacIntosh. It is BY THE VERY BEST I have EVER used. I have extremely dry skin. She was one of my neighbors and gave me some to try. It is the softest and healthiest my skin has been since I was a girl. She is licensed and has been in the beautty trade for 10 years. She developed it for her clients. It was such a terrific product that it just took off. You can purchase on line at margosmixtures.com She has two scents. I prefer the sand and sea collection. It smells like orange blossams and makes you want to jump into the bottle...very clean. I use the entire line but you can get by with just the dead sea salt body scrub. I shave and shower with the shower gel. The body lotion is a part of my morning routine and has been for 4 years now, I even use it on my face. The molecules are small enough to actually penetrate the skin without feeling greasy and sitting on top of the skin and transferred on to my clothing. Try it, she has a money back guarantee. PLUS, she is a lovely person, dedicated to skin care. Her product is featured in gift baskets on MTV among other places. She has quite the local following and is starting to catch on nationally. Tell her Terri sent you, I gave gift sets at my wedding and give it to all my girlfriends and female family members for ALL occasions requiring gifts.What's the best product to exfoliate your body?
my therapist uses a mild moisterizing cream over the skin then sprinkles sea salt over it and proceeds to rub it all over. After a rinse she covers the skin with a non oily moisterizer. Feels great
loofahs!! scrub away your dead skin cells %26amp; allow your beautiful clean skin to shine through!! it helps with circulation %26amp; helps get rid of cellulite!
i like to use a natural but cheap bristle brush while showering lather it up and scrub

you shouldn't use all those treatments. I suggest Retina-A micro, the not so strong kind (in the gray tube). I used ProActiv and it's FANTASTIC. I also suggest you go to a dermatologist, they help A LOT.Okay what does it mean to exfoliate cleanse and w/e?! {pics included}?
Don't exfoliate every day. Once or twice a week should be enough. I suggest you use just one cleansing product and good moisturizer. Too many products will do more harm than good to your skin.
id just say that its ok
but i think its enough with a facial scrub and a cream....
too many products /
ur not old to be using too much stuff on ur face it will make u age faster
Yes you are using an exfoliating scrub. St. Ive's makes specifically exfoliating creams, and you use one. I think that you're regimen is perfect.
I use St. Ive's Exfoliating Scrub, after I wash my face with Clean %26amp; Clear Acne Wash (Deep Clean, or something like that). Then I apply Witch Hazel using cotton swabs to kill bacteria and sweep away any extra dirt.
I use small amount of Olay mixed with water to moisturize (less than a quarter-sized drop). If you mix your moisturizer with lotion or wet your skin right before you moisturize, your skin will look really dewy and fresh.
Tips: If you want your lips to be super smooth, apply a small amount of toothpaste and vaseline to your lips at night. When you wake up the next morning, put some toothpaste on your brush and brush your lips. Then, use the St. Ive's scrub on your lips to remove any dead skin cells. It works wonders!

I know what exfoliating is but I am really unsure about how to go about it.?
Is there a different process for homemade than there is facial scrubs or what? If you could just tell me step by step the order of what you have to do. Do you wash your face, moisturise, exfoliate or another way round. Pls tell me.I know what exfoliating is but I am really unsure about how to go about it.?
If I were you, I wouldn't bother. I spent years buying loads of different face washes, scrubs, toners etc., and it was a waste of money. The more you do to your skin, the more irritated it becomes, and the more oil it produces. And more oil leads to more spots.
I recommend you just wash your face twice a day with an antibiotic face wash, and then moisturise using a water-based moisturiser. Anything more just damages your skin.I know what exfoliating is but I am really unsure about how to go about it.?
Exfoliating just means a very small ammount of roughness against any area of your skin to help get rid of old dead skin cells. You can get an exfoliating scrub with which you wash your face or you can get exfoliating gloves or a sponge with which you can use any old face wash, or none if you just want to exfoliate. Then you gently pat dry and always moisturise after you've washed otherwise you're just washing it away!
If you get exfoliating gloves you can exfoliate your whole body in the shower!
ways to exfoliate your body would be in the shower with a loofah (poofy sponge) and body wash - either an exfoliating one with beads or a regular one. i like Caress Tahitian Renewal.
i wash my face with lukewarm water to open the pores, dispense cleanser on my fingers and rub on my face in circular motions - an exfoliater could be your cleanser - a face wash with beads in it. than after 30 sec/a minute or so, wash off with lukewarm water and finish with cold right after to close the pores and tighten the skin to help keep skin looking young and fresh. i then moisterize with a face lotion that has at LEAST SPF 15 and if its greasy, i lightly powder my face (if i don't want to point foundation/tinted moisterizer on). i currently use Clearasil Face Wash - with a pump dispenser and Almay moisurizer for combination skin (Cetaphil also has a good face lotion)
at home remedies could be using raw egg or plain yogurt with table salt or sugar.
To avoid irritation, start with the corner of a washcloth with facial soap on it. Lightly rub your face %26amp; neck in small circles, rinse, pat dry and moisturize.
If your skin is ok, no red itchy blotches that hurt, you can move up to something more coarse than a washcloth like a facial loofa (come in little circular pads- one side is softer than the other) that cost $2 or so.
*Choose a good soap with fewest chemicals (I am in love with 'Kiss My Face' soaps that come in a pump).
*After you rinse off the soap with warm water, splash your face with really cold water- this makes your freshly exfoliated pores 'tighten'.
*Choose a good moisturizer that's light and easy for your skin to 'drink up' really well. Change brands from time to time so the product stays effective.
I don't like bottled exfoliators- soap with beads and stuff in them because it takes a long time to get the results you can get with just one or two goes of a nice soap %26amp; coarse pad.
Don't put too much pressure on your face- go lightly to gently remove the dry layer(s) of dead skin. You don't want to scratch yourself. I have a routine that works for me- I was a welder %26amp; came home everyday with filthy skin! By doing what I did and still do, I rarely had even one zit.
Sorry so long, hope it helped! :)
Theres body wash with beads that I use in the shower with a wash cloth or something to exfoliate..then i get out of the shower and put lotion on to moisturize.
Just wash your chops, the rest is made up to make you give
your money to the make-up industry's,

How do you prepare to exfoliate before a spray tan?
i'm due to have a spray tan for the 1st time on sat for a huge night out following weight loss... i've gone to a highly recommended tanning salon and have been advised that i need to exfoliate before hand.. i've never done this before, so dont know when i should start exfoliating and i'm a little clueless about what product to buy, someone has said apricot scrub is really good, i've heard a couple of horror stories about it going patching and now i'm really worried that i will look awful. Is there anything that i should know/do to prevent me looking like an umpa lumpa.. Thanks How do you prepare to exfoliate before a spray tan?
I did the spray tan.. and as long as you use a wash cloth and a moisturizing body wash like Dove or Olay, they work fine.. you don't need a fancy exfoliating scrub,, that;s just optional.. just a wash cloth and some body wash will help get any dead skin cells off.. so your tan will look smoothHow do you prepare to exfoliate before a spray tan?
apricot scrub is really good. anything grainy so it will get off all of the dead skin.
also use lotion before you go. regular lotion. especially on your face, elbows %26amp; knees so you wont look orange.
Personally I always get Master Bates to give me me a rough going over with a P60 sandpaper followed up by Roger the cabin boy using some P240 emery paper (P400 for all those ';sensitive'; bits'; for a final gleaming finish.

Has anyone used/tried Inecto pure coconut oil exfoliating leg and body scrub?
i wanted a decent body scrub for my legs (i have ingrown hair) and i recently purchased this body scrub from Bodycare and it seems really good but i was wondering if anyone else used it and it helped them with their skin problems..thanks.Has anyone used/tried Inecto pure coconut oil exfoliating leg and body scrub?
How exactly does a scrub or exfoliator take care of skin problems? It doesn't. It helps shed the dead skin on the surface but it does nothing to solve any blemishes.

R U supposed to exfoliate african american skin everday?
The lady at the beauty store told me that i SHOLD BECOUSE BLACK SKIN NEEDs MORE INTENSE MOISTURE AND exfoliating the body everday will relieve the skin and keep it moisterizedR U supposed to exfoliate african american skin everday?
i've never heard that before, but extensive exfoliation can sometimes irritate/damage the skin. so if you're going to do it every day, make sure to use a gentle exfoliant. also it really depends on ur skin, do u find that u have dry skin??? if not then i would only exfoliate every other day, or 2-3 times a week, whatever u feel is necessary for ur skin.
i have mildly dry skin and i find that using a moisturizing body wash and a body poof works best for me.
moisturizing is important for anyone's skin. i would find a good daily moisturizer that u like and use it when u get out of the shower every day. again if u find that ur skin is dry then definitely go for a more intense moisturizer (something with shea or cocoa butter should work nice). but if u have normal skin (which kind of ranges from slightly oily to slightly dry) then a regular moisturizing is fine (try johnson %26amp; johnson's 24 hour moisurizer).
it's ur body, so listen to it. try a few things out and see what works best for uR U supposed to exfoliate african american skin everday?
actually exfoliating takes moisture AWAY from your skin. And it has nothing to do with if you are white or black all skin within every race is different. My advice is to go and get a facial and ask what type of product is right for your skin. They do facials @ Ulta for like 40 bucks and the asthetitian (i KNOW i spelled that wrong!!! lol ) will be able to help you out.
no. no matter which skin do you have, do not exfoliate your skin mechanically everyday. it may make your skin smoother, but it may give you a lot of damage. exfoliating removes dead skin cells, grime and dirt but it also takes away some moisture. that's why most beauty advisors call for a moisturizer after scrubbing.
instead, exfoliate your skin once a week. that's enough to make your skin healthier and better.
i dunno i am tan so i dont ever have toworry about getting a tan
Hi Ashanti, this may sound crazy but exfoliating your skin is not actually good. It can look good in short term but long term it can make ppl look older then they would of if they had not tried all the current products. All the good dermatologists say soap, water and moisturiser or just moisturiser is all any one needs. some good Vitamin B cream and some Vitamin E and a sunscreen is more then enough.
