How do you exfoliate your face?

I am 14, and I want to know how to exfoliate your face. Also, is there any kind of product that I can make out home because I don't want to throw away my allowance on buying exfoliants. I heard that you can use sugar, and if so, what else do you need to make a sugar exfoliant?How do you exfoliate your face?
if you use sugar and water just use a LITTLE bit of water because you'll want the sugar to be grainy and not dissolve. just a few drops. but if you want something stronger you can replace water with lemon juice. then you have acid to help exfoliate! but only use lemon juice a few times a month because it can be drying.How do you exfoliate your face?
Buy a sea salt scrub and wash your face with it by scrubbing.

Can you use vegetable oil and regular sugar to exfoliate your face?

I don't have any sea salt or oilve oil to use. Or should I use sugar and water?Can you use vegetable oil and regular sugar to exfoliate your face?
Like the person before me said; vegetable oil can make your skin greasy. I wouldnt use just any veggie oil but extra virgin olive oil %26amp; sugar works perfectly fine; and you should be washing your face with a facial cleanser after you exfoliate anyhow so that should get rid of the greasy feeling.Can you use vegetable oil and regular sugar to exfoliate your face?
Mix regular sugar with some moisturizer. Olive or Vegetable oil could make your skin really greasy.

  • How many times should I exfoliate my face?

    I know you should exfoliate your face 2-3 times a week, but are you supposed to exfoliate in the morning and night or just night?





    Should I use a loofah or a sponge???How many times should I exfoliate my face?
    Because I wear makeup I use a face sponge every other day along with weekly face streaming to deep clean pores.


    I prefer night so that I can allow my skin to regenerate along with my body as I sleep


    You should use a face sponge not a sponge for your body. They are different and are usually a different color to distinguish from a body sponge, go easy on the pressure, don't overdo it.


    You're doing it about twice a week is fine.How many times should I exfoliate my face?
    No loofahs! they collect bacteria and cause pimples and are just generally gross.





    Just exfoliate 2-3 times per week. It doesn't matter if it's morning OR night, but def not morning AND night.





    Use a facial exfoliator brush or sponge. and don't forget to tone and moisturize afterward.
    Every few days I use sea salt as a scrub. It's cheap and it works (and it's not going to hurt marine life if it works its way out to the ocean). I just rub it around with my fingers.

    How often should I exfoliate my face?

    I bought some Garnier exfoliating face wash to help improve my acne, and I've been reading other questions about how often to exfoliate my face. Most people say 2-3 times a week, but this exfoliating stuff I bought says ';daily exfoliating wash';.





    Should I still only be exfoliating 2-3 times a week, or since this stuff says ';daily'; is it like weaker or something, and thus safe to use once a day?How often should I exfoliate my face?
    If you have oily skin you should exfoliate 2-3 times a week. if your skin is on the dryer side, you can use it daily. hope this helps!How often should I exfoliate my face?
    Nah i think they just say that so you use more product and thus have to buy it more often lol. Stick with 2-3 times a week. More often and you could be stripping the natural oils from your face. Stick with just a normal cleanser daily
    If it says daily on the bottle, it should be fine.


    The exfoliant isn't nearly so harsh on daily scrubs.





    I have a neutrogena daily scrub, and use it most days. I've had no problems?
    YES. You NEEED to use it everyday. Also use rub it for two min. I do it! IT will get rid of it!

    Exfoliating face wash.?

    I started using this, and the first time it made my skin really smooth. But every time since, it's made my skin really dry, I have dry skin on one cheek and my forehead. Is this from the face wash?Exfoliating face wash.?
    yes. nowadays there are few cleansers and scrubs which work immediately on your skin but as time passes by, you will face the consequenses as dry flaky skin. these are caused by excessive chemical and also bleaching contents where the products promises to bring a smooth skin to your face, it is all lies. as you know. bleaching is a corrosive chemical which can corrode your skin from inside and slowly on the surface. don't get cheated by some products in the market.


    As a guideline, follow these steps:


    - determine which group your skin b'longs to (oily,dry...)


    -read the ingredients(avoid products with too much chemicals and alcohol. also fragrance, smell the product)


    - for the best results,buy cleansers which is made up by natural sources like The Body Shop)


    The Body Shop is a largest beauty chain outlets in all over the world where their products are base on 100 % natural flowers,herbs....


    their Tea Tree %26amp; Seaweed skin regimen is the best for oily,blemish and normal skin. they won't dry your skin and will alwiz keep your skin flawless.Exfoliating face wash.?
    It could be from the face wash, or just from anytime you've washed your face with any soap. I recommend buying an oil free moistuizer and put only a very little bit on your face every morning after you use your exfoliating wash. (go to clinique.com for great moisturizers.) (also, another good exfoliating face wash is Neutrogena Face Wash with Invigorating Microbeads.)
    YES you have taken the natural oils out of your skin.


    Take one weekend and wash your face really well on the Friday night apply a good skin cream and leave it on, don't wash your face all weekend and see how you feel Monday morning. Then use only a non drying soap like Dove or OLAY, some soap that has no alcohol in it. you'll feel better.
    The exfoliating face wash might be too strong and dried out your skin if you use it in daily basis.


    After exfoliating, you Must apply toner to close the pores and a moisturizer to help you restore and maintain skin moisture.


    I suggest that you use this face wash only twice a week from now.
    Okay I am having the same problem!!! I bought a really expensive exfoliator and used it my skin went super dry and I broke out in pimples well only 5...but I never get pimples...I contacted the company and they sent me heaps of their foundations, mascaras, eyeliners and even a perfume all full sizes! it seriously would've been $500.00's worth!!!





    So i recommend you ring the company and complain! When I look at it now it was worth having dry skin and 5 pimples for a couple of weeks for all the free stuff i got haha :)





    Hope this helps in a way.
    its healthy to exfoliate... but we dnt expect to exfoliate everyday unless your skin is acne prone...





    exfoliate 2-3x/ week only.... if dryness occur, decrease the frequency...or even discontinue..





    skin renews itself in 30- 60 days so its most wise to exfoliate periodically only...


    apply moisturizer for now... exfoliate the oily regions only...
    it could be... thats what they do, dry out your pores. i use to use suff like that and the min. i stop useing it i broke out like you can not believe. the best stuff to wash your face with is just reg. soap and water!
    Try after using the face wash using a moisturizer. this will help your skin from looking dry. when you wash your face you are trying to get deep into pores to remove dirt, this can dry out your skin if you don't moisturize!
    ya may be it is because of your face wash or the changing weather. 1stly try changing your face wash. sometimes face wash don suites to the skin. try a new face wash like peach milk or dry skin face wash.
    Maybe you should cut back to using this face-wash once a week. That might help.
    maybe u over wash ur face using exfoliating facial wash....try to stop to use that product

    Anybody heard of whether coffee powder can be used to exfoliate the face?

    How much and how fine must the powder be. What is the procedure?Anybody heard of whether coffee powder can be used to exfoliate the face?
    Actually it's the used coffee grounds...i dont know about it working on the face but it's good for ur hands...it exfoliates and softens them. I saw it on the ellen show a few months back. And my grandma (who knows COUNTLESS home remedies) vows by this. So i guess it could work on the face too.





    Just wash ur face to get rid of excess dirt, take the use coffee grounds and scrub in a circular motion on ur face then rinse off and wash with a light smelling face soap...otherwise u'll be smelling like a starbucks employee all day lol





    Hope this helps! =]Anybody heard of whether coffee powder can be used to exfoliate the face?
    i havnt heard of it,


    ive heard people put it on there hands to get rid of smells like garlic and stuff but never the face.
    I haven't heard of using it to exfoliate the face, but I have heard that rubbing coffee grounds into celulite can help to reduce the appearance of it.
    I never thought of it, it may work, I guess anything that's grainy might work. I would mix it up with some baby lotion or baby oil to ease application...I would assume that you would have to investigate the effects of the coffee components on ones skin after several applications.... coffee has got some acids and natural oils, if we can ingest it, it can.t be that bad....
    I think that might be too harsh for the skin of the face.. I like to use baking soda.. I just sprinkle a bit with my regular facial cleanser and make a paste, it makes my skin nice and soft.. I also sprinkle a bit into my shampoo and it gets any gunk out of my hair.. Like hairspray and gel....Use it with your regular toothpast it's great at removing stains.. It's also super cheap and easy to find.. You probably have some in the cupboard ! It's how I use expired boxes instead of just throwing it away !!
    You can use walnut to do this, but I suppose it works with coffee powder too.


    The reason it works?


    The hard fragments shift away dead skin cells and dirt.


    Try for a size of 1mm beads and try it for yourself.


    If it works, good for you, you'll smell like expressos all day long, and if not, well you'll still smell like expressos anyway.

  • How do i exfoliate my face and i have little pimples on my forehead how do i get rid of them they dnt what to?

    go awayso what do i do?How do i exfoliate my face and i have little pimples on my forehead how do i get rid of them they dnt what to?
    drink lots and lots of water





    at least 1 liter





    also put rubbing alcohol on them


    that always helpsHow do i exfoliate my face and i have little pimples on my forehead how do i get rid of them they dnt what to?
    I use Biore Shine Free exfoliating scrub every night along with Biore Pore Unclogging scrub. I use Johnsons and Johnsons toner and dab Salicylic Acid treatment cream on my face, then moisturize. If I get a pimple that's showing, I dab some toothpaste (The white paste, not the gel) on the pimple and go to bed. The pimple will have gotten smaller in size and less redness. You don't even notice the pimple that was there the night before.


    I also drink lots of water.
    The pimple cream that I always use is Acne Treatment Cream by Equate. It's pretty inexpensive and you can find it at stores like Rite Aide and Walmart.


    You might also want to try moisturizing your face to get healthier skin and for that I recommend Olay complete.


    Try to find out what your skin type is like and work from there. To do this, go to the make up section in either Nordstrom or Macy's and then find where they sell sun screen. There should be a little test there where you can find out what your skin type is.


    Once you've figured that out either look up your skin type on the Internet or in Seventeen magazine. They give recommendations for different skin types.


    Another suggestion is icing your face, but that's somewhat painful.


    You could try popping your pimples, but that might leave a scar.


    If all else fails, go see a dermatologist.
    use st ives i use it very good for my skin
    There a many exfoliants on the market. It all depends on how much you are willing to pay. As stated below, drinking water is a good start. You can also use creams, such as noxema. I used that when I was younger, and I don't have any acne.
    have u tried hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball to get rid of the pimples. try not to dry them out too much; could have adverse reaction and become worse. Also i use olive oil as a moisturizer. it just takes a little bit. u might just want to make one appointment with a dermatologist. also a friend told me that she buys eggs from meijers only and that does good for her acne.
    To exfoliate your face, try getting one of those microdermabrasion kits like Neutrogena or something, the little micro crystals are really gentle, but they exfoliate the hell out of your skin %26amp; they make your skin really soft and glowy. But if you don't want to go that rout, whenever you pick out an exfoliant, try and get the kind that are like beads, and not jagged, like an apricot scrub. Because the jaggedness will irritate the skin more than anything, and the round beads do the job just fine without the irritation.





    As for the little pimples, try a clay mask twice a week to dry them out if your t-zone is oily especially, then use Sea Breeze or another brand of astringent on a daily basis to clean the area of blackheads, and anything that's clogging your pores.





    And always moisturize!
