Exfoliation for Youthful Skin, Naturally
By

Holding back the hands of time isn’t just about what’s in the cream you use it’s also about how successfully those creams penetrate the skin. A major factor in achieving a more youthful looking skin is through exfoliation, removing the top layer of dead skin cells. To help accelerate this process it is recommended to exfoliate the skin at least once a week. The new cells that are revealed can absorb anti aging nutrients from skin care products more easily thus maintaining the moisture balance needed for great looking, healthy skin.
Facial scrubs
Exfoliating with a facial scrub weekly will give the skin a glow as new skin cells are revealed and the appearance of wrinkles are diminished. To add further anti aging benefits source scrubs containing nourishing ingredients for your skin type.
Normal
Normal skin has no apparent signs of being oily or dry. Pimples and blemishes are uncommon and the pores are usually small and the skin smooth with a healthy, firm appearance. Spirulina and Rose Hip Oil are great anti aging ingredients that will nourish your skin.
Oily
Oily skin has a shine on it and tends to have enlarged pores with blackheads. There are no dry areas at all but excess oils that have dried on the skin around the nose can cause flakes to form there. Citrus Essential Oils and Yarrow can keep the oiliness of your skin under control.
Dry
With dry skin there are no oily areas and flaking can occur. This skin has lost some of its ability to produce natural oils and this can be due to aging or sun exposure. Broken capillaries, fine wrinkles and a dull appearance suggest a dry skin type. To prevent further damage Vitamin E and Rose Hip oil will soothe dry skin and deeply nourish cells.
Combination
As the name suggests a combination of oily, dry and normal areas can appear on this skin type. It usually has an oily T-zone down the centre of the face crossing at the forehead. Another style is an oily chin and jaw line but normal to dry skin elsewhere. This skin type is prone to pimples and blackheads. Witch Hazel and Rice Extract suit combination skins and will help balance the skin for a more youthful appearance.
Body scrubs come in many forms and choosing one to suit your skin type and any skin problems you might have should be considered. Choose a body scrub that contains good anti aging ingredients that will add vitamins, minerals and moisture to your skin.
Salt Based Scrubs are good for those who have body pimples and oily skin. The minerals in the salt help detoxify the skin and dry up excess oils while feeding the skin with beneficial minerals. Source salt based scrubs that do not contain added oils but rather other moisturising ingredients such as Aloe Vera and Glycerine.
Sugar Body Scrubs suit all skin types as the Sugar contains Oleic acid, which gently helps dissolve dead skin cells. Alpha Hydroxy Acids are known for their anti aging benefits to all skin types. Find a scrub that contains soybean oil as this oil is reputed to retard hair growth, an added advantage!
Exfoliation is an important part of your natural beauty routine not only for youthful looking skin but also for the enormous health benefits. Regular exfoliation will keep your skin smooth, supple, nourished and healthy.
Skin that is exfoliated regularly helps beneficial anti aging ingredients transfer more easily through the skin to the deeper layers where cells are forming. This ensures over the following weeks that your skin cells are being nourished and will look more healthy and radiant when the surface.
