How you do exfoliate?

Fish in the Sea — Wed, 13 Jan 2016 21:21:42 GMT

Do you use any particular product to exfoliate? How many mornings/nights per week?
Does your exfoliation routine change in the winter months?

My AM routine Monday thru Friday includes an AHA treatment, which helps the dead skin let go, but I'll use a specific exfoliating product two mornings a week (Mon. & Wed.) to get it sloughed off, and have an assortment of products to choose from - Cure Natural Aqua Gel, Skinn DermAppeal, Eminence Organics Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant. On Friday , or sometimes Saturday, I'll do a peel with either Skinn's ABC Triple Action Peel or Michael Todd's Wild Berry Exfoliating Peel.

I use Paula's Choice 2% daily and her Weekly Resurfacing 10% AHA treatment on Sundays if I need some extra help. (If I've been lazy about the 2% daily, then the weekly gets me back on track.)

I use my microdermabrasion 360 twice or 3 times a week, works great!

I use a muslim cloth to wash my face daily and I use Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid (currently the CLEAR anti-redness version) daily (morning).

I LOVE Eminence products, but haven't used them in years. Thanks for the reminder!

For the face: Clarisonic, microderm abrasions 4 times a year, I also alternate between the Olay of Olay 2 step peel and superfine sugar in cleanser.

For Body: Fresh Brown Sugar Scrub (a slurge product for me) or I use my homemade brown sugar, olive oil and almond oil scrub. Both smell yummy. Salt scrubs are too hard on my skin.

You're welcome, @RinaRina. The esthetician I used to go to used the line exclusively in her practice. I tried a few things at home, but they were just too expensive to keep up with it. I had forgotten about the SR Dermafoliant and then stumbled on it again a number of months ago. It was a happy re-discovery.

I use SSC Liquid Exfoliante 3 or 4 times per week. SKINN Dermappeal 1 or 2 times per week. I also like SSC Glycolic Peel which I put on clean-dry skin and leave on overnight. After it dries I can apply other products.

I use St. Ive's Apricot Scrub daily.

In the wintertime, I use the gentle/sensitive version of it.

The past couple of weeks I have added Peter Thomas Roth's Pumpkin Enzyme Mask to my am or pm routine (whenever I can fit it in). I use it 1or 2 times a week. I am loving the way my skin looks. My skin feels softer and the tone is more youthful. (I am 62.) I had been using Philosphy Face Scrub every other night with a weekly PTR Firm X peel. (BTW-I think the current QVC PTR 3 Mask offer of rose, pumpkin and gold is a very good value.) I exfoliate more in the winter as I seem to have more spare time than in summer.

I use L'Bri facial peel. It is very gentle even on sensitive or broken skin and has no granules in it. A very small amount goes on like a gel and massaging causes the dead skin to roll off. Amazing. I can always tell when I've neglected to use it. I makes a real difference.

Exfoliation is important after age 25 when the skin stops shedding as quickly...I am 47 and I have very dry!!! very "thick" skin...I use both manual (scrub) and chemical (AHA/BHA) exfoliation...everyones skin is different and sensitivities must be taken into account... I usually scrub with Skinn Dermappeal 2 times a week, I use Skinn ABC peel once a week (Saturdays)... I added PC BHA 2% liquid and SSC Liquid Exfoliant ( use one or the other nightly) I mask with Borghese Fango Delicato or Active 2 times a week (or I use Skinn Vacuum mask...both are kaolin based masks)

My routine, for me, is perfect...my skin almost looks like it did in my late 20's (in my 30's my skin never looked this good!) I do have a few wrinkles (crows feet around my eyes but not at rest...I can make them tho!) and my nasial labial folds have deepened recently ( I am trying some facial exercises to help with these!) I hope you find the perfect balance of exfoliation for YOUR skin!

They make 'em in a gentle/sensitive version, too.

I use Paula's Choice 2% BHA daily every am. I alternate nights between Retin A and PC BHA 9%. I do not exfoliate on Sunday night - just cleanse. This routine works for me with minimal flaking. I do not change my routine with the seasons. My skin is very oily and acne prone all year round.

Missha super aqua moist peeling lotion. Love it and you can even use it on sensitive skin.
