What do you use to exfoliate your face?

Just wondering what you guys like the most to exfoliate and scrub your face. I need some suggestions because I heard that exfoliating your face could shrink your pores, or at least make them less noticeable. What do you like to use?What do you use to exfoliate your face?
some i really like are:





Apply baking soda on wet face using circular motions and you鈥檒l be amazed how soft your skin is going to be afterwards!





Make a mixture of 1 tsp brown sugar and 2 mashed strawberries. Brown sugar will remove dead cells and strawberries are going to make your skin baby-soft.





1 tsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp sea salt applied gently to a wet face will not only remove dead cells, but it will also improve micro-circulation. Olive oil is going to nourish the skin, leaving it incredibly soft.





Mix 1 tablespoon honey with 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice and 2 tsp ground almonds. Rub gently onto face. Rinse off with warm water.





Mash a piece of papaya, then add 1/2 tsp brown sugar and rub your face with it. Leave it on for 20 minutes and rinse well. Your skin will be fresh and glowing .





also try steaming your face





Steaming the face is the best way to thoroughly deep clean your pores, to get rid of pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. Steaming your face is very important to loosen debris that may be embedded into the skin. When steaming the face your wide the clogged pores and soften the skin in order to cleanse more easily the impurities, the traces of makeup, the dust, the sebaceous secretions as well as the dead skin cells. The high temperature helps the pores do open and this way your body will clear of the toxins and the cosmetic products will reach every skin cell. After steaming it will be more easily for you to remove the comedones /blackheads, whiteheads/ and the little pimples.





If your skin is oily you can use thyme, peppermint or lemon. For sensitive use chamomile or lime. Those with normal skin can use rose, rosemary or lavender.





Boil a pan of water and after few minutes remove the pan from the stove. Add fresh herbs to create a fresh scent such as mint, chamomile and rosemary. Stand directly over the steam and drape a small towel over your head for keeping the steam from escaping because it will be more effective in opening the clogged pores. Stay 10/ 15 minutes until the steam disappears and rinse the face with lukewarm water. You can steam your face twice a week without worries 鈥?it won鈥檛 harm your skin








hope you likeWhat do you use to exfoliate your face?
Most exfoliators you should only use once a week.


But I use neutrogena daily exfoliating scrub, cause I have awfully dry and rather flakey skin, but my skin is also oily, so I can't go overboard on the moisturisers.





Anyway, the neutrogena is really quite good, you don't have to use it every day. And they do more... vigorous scrubs too, if you just want to use one once a week. And its not stupidly expensive either.
As someone who has used pretty much every exfoliation product on the market (no joke), I can tell you hands down the best exfoliation product you want to use is an at home microdermabrasion kit.





I personally use the Olay Regenerist one (link below) it's a little bit pricey-- $25 for the kit, however it lasts a really long time. I've had it for two months and have used it only 5 times and my skin is the best its ever looked.





I used to have large pores, clogged pores, lots of blackheads and generally bad skin if you looked at it closely. Now, my pores are virtually invisible, pores are clear, blackheads gone, any hyperpigmentation I had is GONE.





This stuff is made from God. Seriously.





I use this exfoliation about once every two weeks. That's really all you need or your face is going to get dried out and irritated.





I also use another Olay product, it's a face serum which stimulates cell growth on your face to allow the new stuff to come to the surface and to help get rid of the dead old cells. I use it every AM and PM. This stuff is pricey too ($25) and the bottle looks small, but trust me i've also had this for months and use it twice a day, 2 squirts at a time and its still not gone.
My wife use papaya kojic and licorice base soap and cream. These products made my wife鈥檚 skin even tone and smooth as if 10 yrs ago (we're both 44). These work wonders. Maybe it will work on you too. Try searching it through Google 'shopaholic's bargains'
I like Clean%26amp;Clear exfoliating face scrub.It works great!It's got little micro beads in it that pop and moisturize your skin and clean it.
I use St. Ives apricot scrub twice a week and it works great.
