3 Simple Ways To Exfoliate Skin During The Holidays
It’s that time of the year…time to check off all the items on your super long to-do list. There’s a lot to be grateful for, but almost just as much to stress about. That’s why I’m here to remind you to take care of your skin (and you!) this holiday season.
One of the easiest ways to look after your skin? Start with exfoliating. When you exfoliate, what you’re doing is removing those dead skin cells that your body is having trouble shedding to make way for newer, healthier, and happier skin cells. The results? Bright, even, silk skin.
That said, let’s look at the 3 easy-peasy to exfoliate skin this holiday season:
Use a DIY Scrub
Anyone can make their own body scrub, no need to break the bank. All you have to do is purchase some coconut oil, a bag of ground coffee, raw or brown sugar, and mix together. Prepare to mess yourself just a little bit. Once in the tub, wash or wet your body so that the mixture sticks. Then massage the mix into all areas of your body.
Scrub your arms, thighs, and buttocks as these areas are susceptible to tiny rough bumps known as Keratosis pilaris. Rinse off with soap or prepare to smell like a latte for the remainder of the day.
Slather On an Overnight Toner
You can create a really powerful exfoliating toner by mixing water-soluble fruit acids with hydrosols and fruit extracts. I recommend applying the toner after cleansing in the P.M. It utilizes fruit extracts and acids that contain natural sources of BHA and AHA, which offer exfoliating, renewing, toning, and softening effects.
Try Out a Cleansing Balm
Another easy way to exfoliate skin during gray winter days is by using a proven cleansing balm. During the holidays, when you’re slathering on and removing more makeup than normal, the right cleanser can help rid your pores of product build-up, excess oil, and dead skin for clean, glowy, and baby-soft skin.
For a super-indulgent escape from the holiday rush, try applying the Amareta Petal Soft Cleansing Balm. What I particularly love about this product is its ability to lift away dirt and impurities, all while protecting the moisture-barrier from environmental aggressors. And since it has a softly-softly consistency, using it does feel like a soothing treat!
