7 Peel A Few Times Per Week.
Peeling removes both dead skin cells as well as dirt, oil, and pollution build-up on the surface of your skin. Start by applying a dime-sized dose of exfoliant to your fingertips and rub gently over your skin for 30 seconds, before flushing away with warm water and wiping off.
- Compound strips may also be an option if you would prefer not to use a scrub to peel your skin.
- Maintain a reasonable peeling frequency as this could potentially irritate and disturb your skin.
