Exfoliation removes dead cells from the skin's surface to improve its
appearance and to prevent clogged pores and acne. It may also help
combat the signs of aging by removing dull and damaged skin and
encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin.
Exfoliating
gloves are designed for use with or without exfoliant scrubs, and most
can be used on every part of your body. Wet the gloves and your skin
with warm water. Apply a few drops of liquid soap or exfoliant scrub
directly to the gloves or to your skin. Add more water if necessary to
form a lather.
Massage
your skin using gentle pressure. Move the gloves over your skin in
small, circular motions. Do not use exfoliating gloves on sensitive
areas, such as near the eyes. If you experience any redness, stinging,
burning or pain, stop using the gloves and wait for your skin to recover
before attempting to exfoliate again.
Moisturize
within three minutes of exfoliating and rinsing. Exfoliating your skin
can increase dryness and irritation. Moisturizing creams or lotions will
lock water into your skin, soothe irritation and prevent dryness or
itching.
