So, now that winters are almost in full swing, hopefully you are doing what I am doing these winters! And, then, now my skin is absolutely perfect. But, then, I suddenly noticed my entire face is not so soft! In fact, one of my readers also sent out the same query. Check out!
I use fair n lovely face wash I also apply the same cream after my wash….n when I touch my skin honestly I do not feel anything like cracking and all…I sense it smooth…but at the same time when I touch the corner part of my nose I feel it rough n its like skin coming out! What should I do?
What is the best time to Exfoliate?
What to use for Exfoliation?
Never Exfoliate on Dry or even Damp Skin!!
Don’t forget these areas during exfoliation!
- crevices around the nose where it generally gets dry and skin peels off – extend your nose as if you are removing blackheads and scrub the crevices thoroughly!
- corners of the lips – extend your mouth like you are applying the lipstick and scrub off the corners.
- inner curve below the lower lip and above the chin – extend the lower lip over the lower jaw to make the curve flat and scrub it
- on and behind the ears
- lips – press your lips tightly to avoid tasting the scrub :P, and, finally
- neck lines – extend your neck like a giraffe and giving it a thorough scrub. Moisturise in the same way!!

Leave the scrub on for sometime to help it soak into the Skin
So, now that you have scrubbed your face, leave it on for sometime while you finish washing or scrubbing yourself. That will make the skin even more softer and helps the active ingredients of the scrub to soak into the skin.
And, finally, wash off with luke warm water and last rinse should be cold water. Do NOT forget to Moisturize. Just because your skin is feeling awesome does not mean you forgo the skin care routine. So, do not forget to tone and moisturize your skin with your favorite oil or serum.
And, now, we have one more thing!
Type of Skin and Frequency
Now, this has been said time and again that oily skin should not be exfoliated as often as dry skin. For one, oily skin if exfoliated regularly produces more oil causing more oiliness. And, dry skin accumulates more dead skin which needs to be removed regularly for a fresh and glowing look. So, twice a week is enough for oily skin and for dry skin, thrice a week of exfoliation is enough.
So, what all steps do you follow? Do you have any exfoliation tips!!

Exfoliating in the shower is the best because, as you say, your skin is moist and the warm water opens your pores for the best cleansing experience.
Thanks for the great info!
