No matter what type of skin you have, it's important to exfoliate to remove the dead skin cells that slough off. I'm Jackie Silver from Aging Backwards with how to exfoliate oily skin. Our skin which is our largest organ produces new cells in the lower layers. Those new cells then rise to the surface. The old cells die and can make your skin look ashy if they're not removed. Exfoliating helps to soften fine lines and gives your skin a nice rosy glow. To exfoliate oily skin or any skin be careful not to rub too hard. Choose a scrub that specially formulated for oily or combination skin. These types of scrubs can have small beads or ground seeds in them which gives the product the abrasiveness necessary for exfoliation. Wet your face with lukewarm water or wet your entire body in the tub or shower. Hot water is harsh on skin, and cold water closes the pores. You want to keep the pores open to clean them out, then close them at the end to keep them clean. Some exfoliating cleansers contain as much as twenty-five percent ground volcanic rock, things that are good for oily. You don't want to dry it out too much or the oil glands will start overproducing. Scrub the exfoliating cleanser over your skin with a wash cloth, shower sponge or loofah using gentle circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and pat dry. Even though you have oily skin, you should still follow up with a light moisturizer for hydration. Look for products formulated for oily skin. Remember, when exfoliating oily skin, use lukewarm water not hot. Don't rub too hard. And follow up with a light moisturizer. I'm Jackie Silver with how to exfoliate oily skin. Have a great day.
