FACIAL CARE TIP
EXFOLIATION
Exfoliate as needed
Use as needed depending on skin type/needs, type and level of sensitivity, or
your esthetician's recommendation. This can be from once a week, to twice
a month to once a month, occasionaly or not at all. Some of my clients
that are more mature leave the exfoliation to me for a deep exfoliation every
4-6 weeks. 60yrs plus should exfoliate just occasionally or not at all.
Overexfoliation will dry up the skin and cause irritation, inflammation and
breakouts .... listen to your skin. A good consistent skincare regimen/routine
will lessen the need to exfoliate.
Remember you can do a 2 in 1 mask/exfoliation by using products like dr.
renaud enzymatic peeling, phyto sintesi AHA mask or even clay mask or
mud mask gently exfoliate .......
Or even incorporating the use of AHA creams or AHA serum 2-3
times a week into your routine is enough. I have many clients
who do this with excellent results......
As we age, our pores get bigger. Alpha hydroxy acids help reduce the
signs of those enlarged pores as mentionned above you can incorporate a
few nights a week aha serums or creams.
Instead of squeezing your blackheads I recommend to use a aha, (Vitamin
A) retinols, toners and so on products to keep pores clean or doing a
consistent skin care routine as mentionned at top of page or doing a gentle
peel when needed is enough to unclog pores.
I do not recommend squeezing the skin at all (extractions), especially after
the age of 50. It is my view/opinion that it does more harm then good.
