Skin exfoliation?

I'm going to the beach in about a month, %26amp; I want my skin to be super smooth so I can get a nice even tan and look good in my bikini :]





Is there any kind of exfoliating scrub I could use all over that would really make my skin healthy and even? What brand? How long should I use it leading up to the beach?





鈾?Clare.Skin exfoliation?
Use a mesh body puff in the shower or bath. These are the best and gently exfoliate your skin. Use a good body wash like Dove or Aveeno. Since you have a month, that is plenty of time to make your skin really soft. You could also use a good body lotion like Aveeno or Nivea after your shower or bath.Skin exfoliation?
I use St. Ives Apricot face scrub once a week...
This is what I do for my skin and hair:








Do you want a clean and glowing face? Then,...








Mash papaya until u get a smooth texture. (Mash maybe 2 slices)





Then mix sugar in until u get a fine, grainy feeling.





Massage and apply on ur face until u have a thin mask





Wait 20 min, then rinse





Repeat 3 times a week





You will have glowing face in 2 weeks.











Dry and spotted skin





Mix dry oatmeal (you may grind it in a blender), honey and plain yogurt to make a paste. Spread it over your face and neck, leave on 15 鈥?30 minutes then rinse with lukewarm water.











HAIR:





For Damaged Hair


Mash a ripe banana with a few drops of almond oil and massage into hair. Leave it for about 15 minutes. Rinse with soda water and then shampoo and condition.





Dry Hair Mix 1 tablespoon of honey in half cup of full cream milk. Massage on the scalp and leave it for 15 minutes. Wash with a mild shampoo.





Combine 1 banana, 1 egg, 1/4 cup honey, about 3 Tbs of milk and about 5 Tbs spoons of olive oil. Massage on the scalp and leave it for 15 minutes. Wash with a mild shampoo.

Sash.. Are you talking specifically about the exfoliator head?? It sounds odd that you would use a razor on the knees instead of an exfoliator to exfoliate

Facial (Cleansing, toning, moisturizing, steaming, exfoliation, bleaching?

facial (Cleansing, toning, moisturizing, steaming, exfoliation, bleaching)Arrange them in order and also plz. Let me know that after each of them I should wash my face with lukewarm water or cold water鈥?how many days prior to my anniversary I should do facial so that I can get best result on my anniversary

Facial (Cleansing, toning, moisturizing, steaming, exfoliation, bleaching?
Cleansing, toning and moisturing (with sunscreen should already be apart of your daily routine, two times a day every day.





Exfoliating, depending on your skin type should only be done 1-2 times per week. If you are going for a deep exfoliation you may need to do this a week before- go to a derm doctor for anything really serious.





I wouldn't (hair) on the same day as you anniversary because it may irritate your skin. I would bleach 3 days before or go to a professional salon to wax for a smoother feel.





steaming is best for acne to get rid of blackheads- I'd also do this 3 days before. Use hot water to open up your pores before exfoliation and deep cleansing. Use cool water to close your pore after the process. Don't leave your pores with out a final cool down becuase dirt can get in them and cause skin issues.





2 days before, cleasnse (warm), exfoliate, clease (cool), tone, moisturize. Continue your daily routine until your big day.





Congrats!Facial (Cleansing, toning, moisturizing, steaming, exfoliation, bleaching?
Wash, steam, tone, moisturize. OR wash, exfoliate, tone, moisturize.


Bleaching? If you're using a cream it's usually twice a day on clean skin.


If you don't get them regularly, sometimes a facial can bring impurities up to the surface of your Skin. You might also have redness or tiny marks from pimple/blackhead squeezing. Allow enough days for this to clear up before your anniversary.
always wash your face with lukewarm water..do it 2 days b4.

Oily skin and exfoliation ?

I have oily skin on my forehead and my nose tends to get very oily. I am also acne-prone. Saying that, how many times a week should I exfoliate?Oily skin and exfoliation ?
Exfoliating the skin will cause it to become more oily and irritated. I would not exfoliate your skin unless it has to be done. In that case you should gently use a wash cloth and not an exfoliating product.

I'm an 21 years old Indian(f).I get exfoliation done once a month.I wanted to know the right age for facials.

Nope, it's never too early to start your own set of skin care routines----including doing regular facials. I started doing facials when I turned 18, because I used to play outdoor sports in high school and acquired a few brown age spots. At that age, I even started using eye creams with significant amount of antioxidants, because, after studying skin structure and researching skin care routines and products, I discovered (based on the ingredients list and what I learned from College Chemistry classes) that eye creams---and even antioxidant serums----don't do anything for wrinkle correction. So my strategy was to use those products for prevention instead. As for the exfoliation, for better results, you should do that at home, too, 2-3 times a week with glycolic acid (AHA, in about 5%-8% concentration with a pH balance of 3 to 4, is best for cellular renewal and brown spots, and BHA is a better exfoliation for acne control).





Take good care of your skin now, prevention is ALWAYS more effective than correction. If you wait 'til after the big 30, it will be impossible to reverse the 10-year skin damage (from age 20-30 time period)----regardless of what the commercials and advertisements claim about skin care products.I'm an 21 years old Indian(f).I get exfoliation done once a month.I wanted to know the right age for facials.

You can try an at home facial and see if you like the results. I recommend Burt's Bees 3 step facial: first is an orange cleanser, then a vegetable based scrub then a clay mask. For under $30 you can get each of the three products and they will last you for months.


They even sell kits for $10 with trial size contaniners of each product: Burt's Bees Mini Facial Kit...available at Target, Whole Foods, sometimes Barnes %26amp; Noble and CVS.
age isn't really the question {ya people under 12 probably don't need one } its when you understand whats occurring and whether or not you want to go through with it. It may not improve your face much right now but it also won't do any harm.. Have fun
I can tell you that don't do facial regularly at this age. Occasionally you can go for it (up to 30). But after 30 you should do facial once in a month. I think it will help you. I learnt it from a beauty guide book.
you dont have to be a certain age to get a facial...
