Does exfoliating gel hurt the skin? Does the face really need exfoliation?

Our skin needs to be cleaned regularly. After the exfoliating gel unclogs the pores, it can better promote the skin's absorption of skin care products. If the dead skin on the face is not cleaned, it will become thicker and thicker.

Using exfoliating gel too frequently can damage the skin, but using it correctly will not cause any harm to the skin.

Exfoliating products can be used once a week. Frequent exfoliation will make the stratum corneum very thin, weaken the skin's resistance, and make the skin easily irritated, sensitive, and red. When using exfoliating gel, avoid the area around the eyes and lips. After exfoliating, remember to apply soothing and moisturizing skin care products.

The face needs to be exfoliated. Facial exfoliation can quickly remove old cuticles on the skin, thereby unblocking the pores, promoting the skin's absorption of skin care products, and stimulating the regeneration of skin cells. However, frequent exfoliation will make the skin's cortex thinner and thinner, making it sensitive.

Exfoliation with lotion: Pour lotion directly onto cotton pad, then wipe and pat the skin gently to remove aging cuticles.

Steaming the face to remove dead skin: First clean the facial skin, then apply toner and pat it gently, then take a basin of slightly warm water and start steaming the face (the water temperature should not be too high) for about a few minutes. The main function of steaming the face is to further soften the dead skin on the facial skin, so that the dead skin and dead skin can be easily and cleanly removed.

Exfoliation with a cleansing mask: A cleansing mask can also help you easily exfoliate, removing old, aged cuticles without excessive massage. Note that after using a cleansing mask, you must apply toner and cream in time to replenish moisture and nutrients to your skin.

Exfoliation with scrub: Scrub is granular, so you must use the correct massage technique to avoid damaging your skin. When choosing a scrub, try to choose one with smaller particles.

First, clean your face and wipe off the water droplets on your face (remember to keep your face dry and free of water droplets), then apply the exfoliating gel on your face. A thin layer is enough. After two minutes, massage and rub along the direction of the pores. There will be white granular debris, which is the gel debris mixed with dead skin. After massaging for two or three minutes, rinse it off with clean water. Since the skin on the body is relatively thick and the stratum corneum is also thick, the method of use is the same as the above facial exfoliation method, but the time spent on the face and the massage time need to be longer. It is recommended to use it before taking a bath, and avoid areas with acne or inflammation when using it.

Precautions for use: Do not use more than twice a week, especially for sensitive skin, such as myself, use with caution. After washing your face, rub the gel in the palm of your hand, and then massage it on your face. You can massage the sides of the nose and forehead for a little longer. Be sure to avoid areas with acne or damaged skin. After massaging for a while, you can wash it normally, and then apply skin care water and lotion to moisturize.

How often should I use exfoliating gel?

Many people think that the more times you exfoliate, the better. In fact, this is a very wrong approach. Exfoliating too much will only make your skin worse. Some exfoliating products say that you should use them two or three times a week, but in fact, exfoliating once a week is enough. Exfoliating incorrectly will harm your skin. Exfoliating should not be too frequent, and it is also important to choose a good exfoliating product.
