Skin Tip of the Day!

  1. Skin tip of the day! Exfoliating is not always your friend! Over exfoliating may make your skin feel great after cleansing, but deep down in your pores you are causing damage! Using lightweight enzyme products is safer than using mechanical exfoliators because the mechanical exfoliators damage your skin with over use. But exfoliating more than once a week is less beneficial to your skin because of the damage you cause. If you want to use your mechanical exfoliators, make sure that you cut back your use, and if you wash your face thoroughly and often enough, you will find that you don’t need to exfoliate as often as you thought that you did! So try to only exfoliate once or twice a week to put your best skin forward!
