Exfoliating is not all about scrubbing.



Cold weather is here and with that comes dry itchy skin.
It can be painful and frustrating.

I used to scrub my face to exfoliate. With that other problems started showing up. All winter I would have dry scaly skin on my forehead, chin and cheeks. The best I could do during the day was cover up with a heavy dose of foundation. Then had to scrub the foundation off in evening and then put on a heavy dose of face cream.

Where does it stop?

What to do?

Shaving! Yes shaving on my face.
Every time I shave my legs, they are nice and smooth for days.
So why can’t I shave the dead skin off my face instead of scrubbing?

Have you ever noticed how young men look after a shave?
That is because as they shave their beard they also shave off the dead skin.

And for some light acne cases already in process, shaving can help get rid of whiteheads and blackheads from the face. Do not shave areas that are sore or infected. Use a shaving cream for sensitive skin.

Armed with a razor and my mild face soap I go to work.

  • Wet my face.
  • Make rather in my hands.
  • Rub the lather all over my face.
  • Start shaving.
  • Just like men do, except it is all over my face. Not too close to the hairline. Watch out for the eyebrows.
  • Rinse off the soap.
  • Pat face dry and apply your face cream.
                                   Brenese™ Ageless Rejuvenating Cream
I repeat this every other week. The rest of the times I wash my face with a gentle washcloth.

Shave with a sharp blade. Use gentle swipes instead of heavy pressure and go with the flow or "grain." A single-edged blade is better than a twin-blade razor. Electric razors may not shave as close to the skin, but they help with the prevention of acne and other skin breakouts and flare-ups better.
