What comes after exfoliating?

Use a hydrating moisturizer after exfoliating. Wash your face with warm water, then gently pat dry with a towel. You’ll want to lock in moisture with a cream or your favorite anti-aging serum before heading to bed. Your mornings will be much brighter and your skin significantly smoother.

Where do you exfoliate your body?

Keep an all-over body scrub, gentle exfoliating agent, or exfoliating bar soap in your shower caddy. These things do double duty as body washes and skin exfoliants, removing dirt and dead skin from the shoulder, back, torso, arms, and legs.

Is it better to exfoliate dry or wet skin?

You can exfoliate wet skin, as many people do with a loofah or a scrub in the shower, but the friction level is different when the skin cells are moist, Karen said. The dry method will help you to more effectively exfoliate, plus it’s less messy, Gohara noted.

Should you exfoliate your face if it’s dry?

Exfoliation is important for dry or flaky skin. Avoid mechanical exfoliation on dry skin, because the process is drying and it can lead to microtears. AHAs are effective for dry skin. Glycolic acid will help remove dead cells sitting on the surface of the skin and encourage healthy skin turnover.

Should your face be wet when exfoliating?

“If the base is more foamy or gel-like, wet the skin first. If the base is oil like that of an oil cleanser, it’ll work better on dry skin because water repels oil.” This, it’s worth noting, holds true for both face and body exfoliation, so before you do either, be sure to check your ingredients list.
