Exfoliate.
Exfoliating is just as important as hydrating.
Exfoliating removes the top layer of dead skin cells, allowing moisturizers and other products to soak in better.
Exfoliate once a week.
However, don’t use body scrubs on your face—they’re too harsh. Look for a product that is specifically made for the face.
You can also exfoliate your lips; this will help keep them soft and kissable.
I like to make my own exfoliating mixes; there are tons of recipes online that involve household ingredients you have at home, like sugar. Sugar on a warm wash cloth is a mild but effective lip and face scrub.
Another favorite of mine is dry brushing, which is exactly what it sounds like: a brush used on the skin in a circular motion, generally before showering. (It also stimulates circulation and has been said to help reduce the appearance of cellulite!)
