- Hi, I'm skin care Expert Tracy O'Connor, and today I'm going to share with you how to exfoliate peeling skin. Now, when you have skin on the face that is peeling and it's starting to lift, it is important to exfoliate the skin off of the surface. But, you never want to do that abrasively or harshly. And you definitely never want to peel the skin because that can cause scarring. So, the most effective way is to exfoliate in the shower using warm water and use an exfoliant that is designed to gently remove the dead skin cells without injuring the fresh young skin that's beneath the surface. So, let's get started. I'm going to use the Photo Age Deep Action Exfoliating Cleanser by Kiehl's. We're going to start by dampening Krissa's skin; at home it's a good idea to use an exfoliating cleanser in the shower because the, the steam is going to help soften the dead skin cells and help the exfoliant to sweep those dead skin cells away. Now, this exfoliant has round spherical microbeads. You always want to choose an exfoliant that has little microbeads like this because the round beads will be gentle, they won't be abrasive. You never want to choose an exfoliant that is crushed nuts or crushed seeds because those can have kind of a jagged edges and the jagged edges can cause micro-lacerations on the skin, leaving the skin vulnerable to bacteria and other external elements. You can see I'm just gently massaging, very very gently massaging the exfoliant in an upward and outward motion. And you don't want to go above the orbital bone, you want to stay just beneath that. You want to make sure to get in the chin right here where we tend to have congestion and clogged pores and also in the T-zone. Active Vitamin C speeds cellular turnover; so it's going to brighten and lighten the complexion. Additionally, it's going to prevent future aging because it's an antioxidant and antioxidants fight free radicals and free radicals are what's responsible for the premature aging caused by extrinsic factors such as the sun, stress. You want to exfoliate for a myriad of reasons. Obviously, it'll help to get rid of the dead skin cells, but it'll also overall brighten the complexion. Ingredients like the Vitamin C in here as well as the plant extract work on discolorations. And whenever you're revealing fresher, healthier skin and your speeding cellular turnover, you're going to get rid of that discoloration that's living on those surface skin cells and so, you will have more even skin tone and a more even texture. Now, we're just going to take that exfoliant off now. And the botanical ingredients combined with light reflecting minerals are going to leave the skin vibrant and luminous, softer to the touch. That's what you want out of an exfoliant. You do not want your skin to be red and inflamed afterwards. I think some people scrub very hard, trying to get rid of the dead skin, get rid of congestion, clear out the pores, get rid of acne; but, when you scrub hard, whether you use a washcloth or you use a, an exfoliant that's harsh, that's just going to damage your skin. You don't want to damage the skin, you want to gently remove the skin cells and gently remove the dirt and debris out of the pore. So, not only will an exfoliant leave your skin soft and smoother to the touch with clear and cleaner pores, but it'll also prepare your skin for any kind of a treatment product to follow. Now, one final tip, always follow your exfoliation with a moisturizer. A moisturizer will help to restore the healthy barrier function of your skin. And that is how to exfoliate peeling skin.
