Exfoliation tips for younger looking skin

One of the more effective means that women are using to obtain younger looking skin is through exfoliation.  This is the process through which a lightly abrasive ingredient is used to slough off the outer, older layer of the epidermis, and therefore revealing the newer and younger cells underneath.  Two of the better natural substances are alpha hydroxy acids and vitamin C. 
Just make sure that you don't use anything that is too abrasive which can irritate the skin. Nowadays, many body washes contain exfoliants which can assist in ridding the old layer of skin revealing the smoother, younger cells underneath.  Just make sure to use sunscreen since the skin can easily become irritated.


In between exfoliation, make sure to nourish the skin with healthful, antioxidant containing oils such as olive oil and shea butter.
