Seeing as summer is just around the corner, that means our social calendar is about to be ramped up. Time to start thinking about prepping our skin to turning heads wherever we go.
Winter has always been a time of hibernation for me, as I would generally relax the routine that I have become accustomed to during the Summer prior. As spring is now here and summer almost at our doorstep, it is the perfect time to ramp up our skincare routine especially since our skin takes approximately 4 weeks to rejuvenate. Start now and you'll make it in time for the Christmas parties.
Exfoliation, exfoliation, exfoliation.
Despite our best effect to maintain our skin, be it our body or facial skin, our skin cell will die after a life span of two to four weeks and becomes stratum corneum. When this happens, it is important that the dead skin cells is removed through exfoliation to prevent a build up of dead cell on our skins.
If your skin is in good condition, I highly recommend using microdermabrasion scrub. However if your skin is incline to be more sensitive, I would recommend a soft peel product, one of my favourite is the Primera Mild Facial Peel.

Post-exfoliation care
Post exfoliation, our pores would usually be wider therefore the after care is just as important as the actual process itself. This step is a window of opportunity to nourish your skin, after the removal of the dead skin cells, there is nothing stopping your skin from absorbing all the goodness that I lather on it. Sheet Mask which is drenched in nourishing serum is the perfect next step. Check out the Tony Moly Master Lab Centella Asiatica Sheet Mask to soothe the slight redness that you might experience after exfoliation.
I would suggest exfoliating one to twice a week depending on how your skin react to it. If your skin remains sensitive for several days after exfoliation, best to exfoliate once a week. Continue using facial mask 2-3 times throughout the week, to achieve the best result.
