Self-Exfoliation For the Face/Lips

There are a lot of products on the market right now that can cost you quite a bit of money when all they do is remove the dead skin, or flaky skin from your face and lips.

Instead of spending the money, I make my own.

It's really simple and I will take you through the steps, I will be as detailed as possible.

First off, you'll need the recipe:

Mix enough sugar and Extra Virgin Olive Oil that the consistency of the product is more paste like, than liquid.

It doesn't take much sugar OR oil, your face isn't a large area and can be covered by a small amount.

After you've got a consistency you are comfortable, take a little of the mixture with your fingers and apply it to your face.

After your face it covered, begin exfoliating by doing small circular motions all over your face, because of the roughness of the sugar this will remove the dead skin from your face.

After this I rinse my face with cold water and you will feel a oily residue from the olive oil, so I take a cleanser and wash my face as normal.

For exfoliating lips it is generally the same and it will make your lips SUPER soft.

It is important to remember that after you exfoliate your face you will need to apply a moisturizer to 'repair' it and make the exfoliation reach it's full potential.

I recommend Cetaphil Facial Moisturizer, it seems to work on all skin type and it is GREAT for sensitive skin.

Hope you enjoyed that mini-segment, if there is anything you'd like discussed just email me or comment.

Love,

Catherine!
