Facial Exfoliation for Sensitive Skin

1

Find a gentle, every-day cleanser that does not irritate your skin. Sensitive skin does not respond well to scrubs or acidic cleansers.

• People with sensitive skin should try the product on 1 small area of the face and use it only if it does not produce irritation.

2

Wet your skin with warm water.

• Place a soft terry cloth washcloth under a warm tap. Squeeze the washcloth and place it on your face for 1 to 2 minutes. Warm water will open the pores, making it easier to exfoliate.

3

Squeeze a small amount of cleanser on the surface of the washcloth. Rub the soap on the middle portion of the cloth.

• Depending upon the cleanser, this may or may not produce a lather.

4

Rub the washcloth on your face in circular motions. Start at the nose, move to the forehead and continue around the rest of your face.

• Use a gentle touch. Exfoliation does not require hard scrubbing.

5. Rinse your face with warm water. Pat it dry

6

Apply a moisturizing cream immediately after exfoliation.

• This process may produce some redness, which will go away within a few hours. People who are prone to redness should exfoliate at night, giving their skin time to calm while they sleep.
• If you have extremely dry skin, apply a thin coat of moisturizing oil 5 minutes prior to exfoliation.
