Wash, exfoliate, toner and moisturizer!!!

"As you go about your daily business, your skin is going about its own. Skin cells that have been around for about 25 days are starting to shed, making room for the new skin cells that will be taking their place. Sometimes the old skin cells remain attached to the surface of your skin, which can create challenges for the new skin: blackheads, whiteheads, rough texture, or an uneven appearance of the skin tone.
When the natural process of shedding the dead, dry skin cells doesn't work, you need to step in and help it along. Keeping the skin exfoliated helps ensure that your other skin care products, like serums and moisturizers, are more effective. When they don't have to penetrate a layer of dead skin cells, they can target the new skin cells, which is where they need to work."Thank you!
        So now we know that we must exfoliate but with what, how often and do I still need to wash my face? First and foremost you must wash your face.  You dont want to exfoliate all the dirt and grim into your face. So always wash first.  You should be exfoliating NO MORE then once or twice a week. You want to scrub off the dead skin cells but not scrub off your face with it.  Sensaria trains us on how important it is to use small-grained exfoliants and not large grained because of the damage that can be caused to your face more than actually helping it. Check out all the exfoliants
I personally love the Sea Kelp Scrub. It has a  finely ground mixture of walnut shells and apricot seeds in it to help gently exfoliate your face. I've been using it for 6 years.







Although while pregnant, I switched over to the enzyme exfoliating treatment, it is for sensitive skin and has the smallest exfoliating grains, because my skin was freaking out when I was pregnant.

I love to exfoliate in the evening and in the shower.  I feel like I am scrubbing away the day and my skin will be able to rest all night long. 
Sensaria also has a great new product called Microdermabrasion Crème Gentle Resurfacing Treatment.
"Uncover fresh, new skin, soften dark spots and dramatically smooth facial lines with this gentle blend of microdermabrasion crystals suspended in a soothing, conditioning crème."

This has a great reputation thus far and I look forward to hearing from my clients who've used it and what they think.
Oh and I almost forgot about the guys.  Sensaria makes a great face scrub for men. My husband is going to be so embarrassed but he LOVES this!!! He uses it every morning and is on me to order him more when he runs out. This foaming cleanser is infused with microbeads of volcanic pumice to instantly buff away dead skin flakes, reduces blade friction and clears the way for an effortless shave. My husband shaves in the shower so he uses this and then he shaves. He really likes it.
      My next entry will talk about the face washing process.  So until then feel natural. Feel beautiful. Be you!
