CWP Beauty: 4 Natural Ways to Exfoliate your Skin

Source - google

One of the key steps to having radiant, younger looking skin is to get rid of old, dry, dead skin cells. And the best way to do that, or course, is to exfoliate. New skin cells are created in the skin’s inner layer (dermis). As they form, the old, dead skin cells are pushed to the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). These dead cells gradually flake off. But some of them hang on for too long, making your complexion look dull & rough and clogs your pores causing acne & other blemishes. Exfoliating the skin removes these dead cells and the good thing is, you can make natural home made exfoliants for you skin which can be done at least 3 times in a week. No need to bother about going to spa if you can not afford it and even if you can afford it, it is still advisable that you exfoliate your skin at home.

Here goes some DIY natural exfoliants....

A glowing skin means proper care and to some people, proper care means expensive products, more often than not, these products which are filled with chemical might not really give you the glow you desire in your skin. You will be surprised to know that the glow you are looking for in highly expensive soap, cream and oil can be found in the free natural 'products' God has given us.

Growing up I had a really bad skin, sorry, no skin is bad, but I had a skin that rubbed me of my self esteem. I have a dry skin which is hereditary but the "bad" part is that I had a skin condition that leaves little scars all over my legs and arms, I tried every soap and cream but nothing worked until a few years back, a woman (God bless her) asked me to try shea butter and I when like "What! that stuff? I don't even like the smell" and asked me one question that left me speechless.....

CWP Beauty: How often to you Bath your Makeup brushes?

 

Everyday you go into the bathroom and bath yourself thoroughly; you get out, dab you body with a clean tower, moisturize your body with expensive lotion and oil before facing the mirror to apply makeup on your gorgeous face with brushes which you haven't washed since God knows when.

Last week I shared how we can achieve a smooth skin with cucumber (find it here). Now, no matter how much you apply cucumber mask (or other beauty therapies) on your face but do not give your makeup brushes regular bath, you are not doing your face any good. When you use your brushes, bits of makeup, oil, dirt, and even bacteria can get trapped in the bristles. So while it might seem basic, skipping this step can lead to clogged pores and pesky breakouts.

How often should you wash your makeup brushes?...
