Will exfoliating regularly help the skin maintain a youthful appearance?
Exfoliating your skin will definitely help you maintain a youthful glow, but doing it too much can actually make you look older b/c you're drying out the skin. I would use the apricot scrub once a week or every two weeks.
In between scrubs, I would suggest using a face wash that has some kind of acid in it. It'll gently exfoliate your skin w/out being so abrasive. I really like Alba's Hawaiian Pineapple Enzyme Facial Cleanser because it has fruit enzymes that help keep your skin smooth w/out drying it out. Plus, it's organic, so it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I follow-up with Booth's Fruit Enzyme Spray and a great moisturizer.
These two products have done wonders for my skin!! I tried the St. I'ves Apricot Scrub, but it's too harsh on my skin. When I need to do a heavy exfoliating treatment, I use MD Skincare's Alpha Beta Facial Peels.
Here are some other things you can do:
-Always wear a lotion w/ SPF even on cloudy days
-Take a vitamin A supplement or drink carrot juice (Bolthouse makes a tasty one!)
-drink lots of water
-exercise. Sweating cleans out your pores!
-eat more veggies and fruits
Reply:I don't think exfoliating has to do with it. It's more like a separate thing.
