Flawless skin isn’t something people are born with – you have to work
at it.
There are three critical steps that we need to take, in order to keep
our skin looking its very best.
Our skin cells renew every four to six weeks.
New cells are born deeper in the tissue, as they travel up to the skin’s
surface, they get older. By the time they reach the surface, they will be dead
skin cells – we need to get rid of them. Exfoliation eliminates the dead
layer of skin, revealing the newer, fresher and brighter skin cells, hidden
underneath.
“Exfoliation is considered one of the most important techniques that
you can perform on your skin. It will resolve certain skin problems, as well as
achieving healthy and glowing skin” - Renee Rouleau
1. Remove unwanted hair
Hair-free skin for two to four weeks sounds fabulous. If long term
hair removal is what you’re after, get yourself lazer hair removal, a full body
wax or use home waxing strips. You can also epilate or pluck (if your
completely bored with no intentions to go out for the entire day, or night.)
But if you prefer to steer clear of pain, you can also grab the wonderful Venus bikini razor, which comes with a little bikini line razor.
2. Exfoliate
Forget those fluffy nylon bath things you get with a bottle of body
wash. And throw out that bacteria-infested loofah. Use exfoliating gloves,
they’ll softly remove dead skin cells whilst you rub in a circular motion over
your body. Exfoliating gloves can be used with either soap or scrubs.
Exfoliates remove dead skin cells, allowing your skin to have a
healthy glow. It aid’s rejuvenation of the skin, while preventing undesirable
conditions such as acne scarring or in grow hairs. Naked Tan Body Polish smells
like summer, and works wonders. Made up of walnut shell and avocado oil,
this particular exfoliate is perfect for achieving clean, smooth skin or can be
used a pre-tan scrub.
3. Moisturise
Moisturiser should be used after every shower, it treats
your skin when it's dry, and prevents it from drying out again. Moisturisers do
this by holding water in the top layer of the skin. Moisturiser protects your
skin from the environment, by creating a barrier on your skin that keeps oils
from escaping, and blocks harmful outside elements causing dryness or
irritation. Moisturiser’s soak into the skin, adding radiance and moisture - for
the ultimate summer glow.
