One step in people's beauty routines, that I found, they regularly skip is exfoliation.
So, let me stress this: EVERYONE needs to exfoliate to some degree.
At least once a week -both dry and oily skin types alike.
And I have the easiest, and cheapest way to do it. I think I originally got it off of a YouTube beauty guru channel -but I can remember who -but it's fabulous so I'm going to share it.
All you need is : lemons, sugar and cotton pads.
Lemons are naturally full of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (also known as AHAs),which is a well known ingredient in skincare to give a gentle chemical exfoliation. The sugar is coarse, but without hard edges like sand and it gives a manual exfoliation; as a result, when you pair these two you give dead skin a double dose of skin-glowing boosters.
Step one: Slice up your lemon and saturate a cosmetic cotton pad with the juice
Step two: Sprinkle a layer of sugar to cover the cotton pad
Step three: Rub into skin gently in circular motions for as long as you can stand, using multiple cotton pads as needed.
Step four: Try not to eat your face - it will taste like lemonade.
Step five: Rinse and apply a nourishing moisturizer
Step six: Admire how pretty you are and how fresh your skin looks and feels.
*Note: For those who have open blemishes, exfoliate around the blemish so you don't aggravate it, or open it - this won't feel fresh or pretty.
It's that easy, it tastes delicious, it's super affordable and it's my go to weekly exfoliater !
