Shaving IS exfoliating. Doing exfoliation after shaving is stupid, before is not necessary for leg hair.. You should moisturize tho.Shaving exfoliation?
No, you are supposed to exfoliate BEFORE shaving. Reason: when exfoliating, you are buffing off the excess dead skin cells that will hinder you from getting a clean, closer shave. And, yes, it's very important to exfoliate. As far as moisturizing, it is best to do it right out of the shower when your skin is still moist and can absorb that extra bit of moisturization. For exfoliating, I recommend buying a flat loofah with little slit for your hand to go through. Natural ones are good too. As far as moisturizing, I use a really good lotion that is made just for mositurizing like Curel, Lubriderm, etc then I worry about they smelly stuff later. The alcohols in the scented stuff dries your skin too.

Exfoliation help?
i don't have acne but i have some clogged pores on my face and shoulders. i've been googling up on exfoliation and its only mildly helpful because they only list methods on exfoliating, not the products itself. can someone recommend me some effective exfoliation products, like face wash or body wash?... preferably stuff that can be bought at wal-mart and such. thanksExfoliation help?
Neutrogena makes a body wash specifically for body acne that works and is found in the acne section. It should be available at walmart. When you shower, wash your hair first and then your body. Shampoo and condition could also be clogging the pores on your skin. You could also try using a mesh body puff. It will gently exfoliate your skin no matter what type of body wash you use and is gentle enough to use every day. There's also a buff puff specifically for facial use. If you only have a few clogged pores and not an acne problem this would be a good choice. You could use it with the skin care products you are already using and it's also gentle enough to use everyday. I would also recommend using a toner or witch haze on the areas after washing. It will also help.maps myspace.com

Basic exfoliation?
could someone tell me the best way to exfoliate your skin and how often it should be done?Basic exfoliation?
There are some great exfoliating products on the market.. Some are more abrasive than others.. I like St Ives products, they are reasonably priced, and work very well on almost all skin types.. and don't damage the skin.. St Ives makes a great face peel that is gentle and leaves the skin smooth, clean shinny, feeling refreshed, and removes the dead surface skin without soaking into the subdermal layers and causing redness and swelling.. Read the labels on any products you use to ensure you use them correctly..

Also whenevr I staem and exfoliate it helps in minimising blackheads and other impurities but next day I find small small pimples all over my face which diminishes after 3-4 days of its own. suggest facial tips plzzCleansing-%26gt;tonning-%26gt; exfoliating-%26gt;mosturising? tonning shd be done before exfoliation or after im confused?
Maria is right.
You must exfoliate first and then cleanse. The reason is the dead cells block your pores and if you don't exfoliate first you won't get your skin as clean and that can cause black heads. I don't tone, It's too drying. How often you exfoliate depends on the person. I exfoliate every day when I wash my face. I use just a teaspoon of pure baking soda (it's pure and un-irritating) and gently rub it all over my face. I have told a few friends about this and they are amazed at how their skin feels after wards and they all do it. A nice plain, simple soap such as ivory or Nutrigena is good. I never used anything perfumes on my face. A good lotion with Glycerin works well after cleaning. It's goo to put the lotion on right away also.
Not to brag, but I have really nice skin and have never had pimples or break outs. I don't think it's good to steam either, your opening up your pores and it leaves them subjected to dirt and dust in the air. I have told my sons also, this helps, change your pillow case often, don't stress on it and don't over scrub your skin either.Cleansing-%26gt;tonning-%26gt; exfoliating-%26gt;mosturising? tonning shd be done before exfoliation or after im confused?
this is how it goes
you exfoliate first to expose the fresh skin underneath, then you cleanse the skin with a good soap, no expensive, mild, but one that cleans well, like Ivory, If you want to you can tone, I never put alcohol on my face though, very drying and bad. Be sure to lotion up, the size of a pea. If you have oily skin that may not be necessary, only for night time after make-up removal.
you cleanse first.....then tone..then moisturize..\exfliate no more than 2 times a week
but..you can over exfoliate you skin..causing your skin to break out. Ony exfoliate 2 times week..and with gently circular motions using your finger tips.
make sure your cleanser is for your skin type..that makes a big difference too...as well does using the proper mositurizer..something that will not block your pores.

Toning is done after exfoliating.
toning is bellony according to my derm... just cleanse with a cleanser that contains saliclic acid and just moisturize with a sunscreen (and look, uve knocked down 2 steps and therefore can sleep in!)
You could have an allergic reaction to something in the products, or you might have irritation due to rubbing too hard or too harsh of a product. Try using less toner and/or moisturizer, and be sure to cool your pores after steaming. If thats not it you might need to switch to hypoallergenic or gentler products.

Lip exfoliation?
Does anyone know a home remedy for lip exfoliation? I have nice lips but after the winter they are dry, dull and still kind of cracked. Does anyone know a good way to get them soft and shiny (pre-lip gloss) ThanksLip exfoliation?
www.chapstick.comLip exfoliation?
ok, so here is a basic lip scrub, it is from an old issue of CosmoGirl.
Brown Sugar Lip Scrub:
This is from About U! Salon and Spa in Pittsburgh, PA, their website is aboutusalonandspa.com. This lip scrub smooths chapped and flaky lips.
You will need:
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. olive oil
Mix ingredients together, then use your fingertips to rub the mixture over your lips in a circular motion for about 15-30 seconds. Rinse, then apply lip balm. Use as needed, whenever your lips feel dry or flaky.
Otherwise, just keep applying balm and lipgloss!
Hope it helps! :)

Does exfoliation clear blackheads?
i need to clear my acne so desperately and the medication i'm using doesn't really work...any help guys?! thanx ';)Does exfoliation clear blackheads?
it won't clear blackheads, but it really helps. exfoliating helps remove the dead skin cells on your face. those same dead skin cells can be a major cause of acne since they clog your pores.Does exfoliation clear blackheads?
Well, it peels the dead skin cells off of your face....and it keeps it feeling smooth and silky if you use it everyday. But, i don't know if it will clear your blackheads completely! :(
nope, you cannot scrub that out. you need to dissolve them with Retin-A. you will need a prescription for a doctor though. good luck

Lip exfoliation?
A long time ago I bought a product, mabe from Mary Kay? Anyway, it was a lip exfolator and also they had an awesome lip to go with it. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Where can I get that?Lip exfoliation?
Mary Kay Satin Lips set. An exfoliater and a balm. Great set, I LOVE it! Plus, it lasts so long. It is one of my highest selling items.Lip exfoliation?
Mary Kay does have a lip exfoliator, its part of their Satin Hands collection, I think. Just ask a Mary Kay rep
If you mix a teaspoon of petroleum jelly (vaseline) and two teaspoons of brown sugar it works just as well. I use it in the winter when my lips start to get really dry.
It also helps heal cold sores.
Bath %26amp; Body works makes a lip exfoliator.
Not sure, but i know you can get the same look from sugar and cream and mising it at home. Your lips will be plump and looks amazing...finish with a gloss ( I love the victoria secret)
I searched a little for you, Hope you find what you're looking for!
i never really heard of that but i have a method i sometimes like to use that really works.. take a toothbrush..a new one or ur current one if u want.. and gently in a circular motion brush ur lips.. i know it sounds silly but it really works it takes off the excess lip stuff that we dont like and use some vaseline or lip balm after and ur lips will look like new lol ..Try It!!
