How to exfoliate skin naturally?
Exfoliating is the process of removing dead skin cells to reveal your flawless and radiant skin. It’s a way to maintain clean, healthy, and beautiful looking skin.
As part of my routine before I do laser hair removal treatment with my IPl device, I exfoliate first as it helps speed up the hair loss process and remove dead skin for a perfect result.
It’s important to exfoliate before getting Brazilian or laser hair removal.
Every day, new cells are forming in the inner layer of the skin, forcing the old cells into the outer layer. Some of these dead cells clogged to the skin, and thus causing itching, scales, and fading your complexion.
In most cases, you can end up with a dark spot, blemishes, and acne. So if you are looking for a beautiful and clear skin tone, exfoliating is the best practice to employ in your body cleansing routine.

Final Thoughts on how to exfoliate skin
Make sure you wet your face before applying the homemade scrub; otherwise, it won’t glide on the skin. Exfoliation makes your skin feel and looks new.
However, do moderately, an excessive application may cause damage to your skin. If you have light skin, do it for once a week, but if your skin is thicker and sturdy, twice or three times per week is acceptable.
Alternatively to natural scrub, you may buy the Electrical facial cleanser. It’s the best way to exfoliate your skin without having to do any homemade facial scrub.
You can use it more three times a week. For me, I use the hard spin brush twice a week and the softer brush every day before applying makeup.
Microdermabrasion facial kit will helps to remove dead skin for a perfect result.
