How to Exfoliate Your Face

If your goal is youthful, glowing skin – you need to exfoliate regularly.

Exfoliating your face is crucial for removing layers of dead skin cells to reveal the healthy layers underneath. However, it’s important to exfoliate using the right technique.

HOW TO APPLY YOUR FAVOURITE FACE EXFOLIATOR

Always choose a gentle scrub to exfoliate your face. Follow these eight simple steps to lift away your skin’s rough exterior so you can enjoy brighter, smoother skin.

1. APPLY YOUR FACE EXFOLIATOR

Splash your face with warm water and apply the face exfoliator to your forehead, nose and chin.

5. HEAD TO YOUR JAW

Scrub along your jaw bone to your chin on both sides.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO EXFOLIATE YOUR FACE?

It’s best to exfoliate your face at night before going to bed. This way, you can follow up with a hydrating night cream and let the beautiful moisture soak in and replenish your skin while you sleep.

NIVEA’s Daily Essentials Rich Face Regenerating Night Cream intensively moisturises and regenerates your skin overnight for smooth feeling skin in the morning.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU EXFOLIATE?

For normal, combination, oily and impure skin, we recommend using a gentle face exfoliator once or twice a week. Although exfoliation is vital and provides many great benefits to your skin and complexion, remember not to get carried away. Over stimulating your skin can cause irritation, breakouts and potentially strip the skin of its protective barrier. Get to know your skin type and choose the products and techniques that are right for you. The key is to not overdo it.
