Scrub the years away!
One way to add new vigor and sparkle to tired skin is through the process of removing dead skin cells. The skin has many layers, with the outer layer being made up of 5 sub-layers. The outermost layer is actually composed of dead cells, which perform the function of protecting the healthy living cells underneath. These dead cells usually fall away naturally every two weeks.
Exfoliating twice a week can help these cells to fall away, and avoid a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. Men need to exfoliate, too! Although men have more collagen and elastin in their skin, they do have larger pores and facial hair, both which can trap more dirt on the skin. Regular exfoliation can help a man improve his skin, with an added bonus of exposing hair follicles, making it easier to get a closer shave.
The natural way There is a lot that can be done naturally to help your skin remove dead surface cells. Fine grain sugar can be used to help rid the skin of dead cells. If you use exfoliating gloves, be sure to rinse and dry them thoroughly in the sun so they don't trap dead skin cells or develop mold. Avoid using sponges or cloths, because they tend to hold dead skin cells and trap dirt. Never scrub too vigorously, as this can cause damage to the skin, resulting in excess oil production and further irritation.
