As your skin ages the turnover time of your skin slows down. You just don’t build new skin as fast as before, but if you remove the dead and damaged cells you stimulate the production of new healthy cells and tissues. This will give you better and healthier skin.

Look at a kid at the pool. The water seems to pearl and the skin seems to naturally reject this excess water and keep itself dry. This is good. Why? Well, many reasons. Here’s a few:

• The water is not pure but polluted. You don’t want it on or in your skin.
• The water contains chlorine. Chlorine has no health benefits for your skin. If it had you would find it in skin care products, but you don’t.
• The water has more minerals than your skin needs and these minerals tend to absorb moisture. Moisture is not added by keeping your skin wet. Ask any nurse that washes her hands all day long. They get dry.

Why skin?

The basic purpose of the skin is to protect your body, remove waste products and help regulate body temperature. It is a very complex mechanism. Your help and support is greatly appreciated. How can you then help?

• Keep your skin clean.
• Help your skin to exfoliate as these build-ups of dead cells are the cause of harsh skin and not soft to the touch.
• Use an exfoliator so gentle that it can be used daily.

Make this a habit and repeat every day. You will soon feel fresher than before and your skin can breathe better. You just feel good.

Acne

A note of precaution if you suffer from acne: don’t scrub of acne. It will make it worse. Go light and just use the scrub just to keep your skin clean.

Daily use

On a daily basis you could with benefit use a body scrubber, a glove or any material that support exfoliation and skin massage. Many herbalists promote increased circulation and without covering the subject of natural healing and living you can with extended benefits give your skin a good massage every time you shower.

Again, when you stimulate exfoliation you stimulate the production of new and healthy cells and tissues. This is what you want.

Afterwards while your skin is still damp after the shower you lock in that moisture and add nutrition by the use of a skin care cream that absorb and infuse nutrition into your skin.

Use a Scrub that won’t wash of and dissolve first thing. Salt and sugar scrubs might do that. Some scrubs are much too harsh. On the other hand scrubs with polyethylene (plastic beads) won’t dissolve and you can gently exfoliate for a long time. A scrub that won’t dissolve right away can even be moved from one area to another after you’re done with the first area. Get hold of a scrub that last.

Finish scrubbing your face and drag the left-over down to neck and upper body. What is bad body odor but the build-up of waste products over short or long time? Scrub your body real well many times per week and you will soon feel very fresh and your skin will just stay cleaner because of the polished surface.

Why does the paint on your car shine better after it has been washed and polished? It is because it is even and smooth and the light rays reflect evenly. That is why any surface shines and reflects. Chrome shine and rust don’t. A clean window shine, a dirty window does not. A clean window expel water and dirt naturally, a dirty window absorb water and more dirt. The same applies for your skin, besides a rugged skin cast shadows and looks dull.

Haven’t you seen some people with a skin that just glow? For a starter that skin is smooth. Don’t believe for a second that people who has good skin doesn’t work hard to keep it that way, no matter what they say. You can have perfect skin too, but you need to use good and proven products and you will see result.
