Body and facial exfoliating scrubs
These products are made up of a mixture of a cleansing agent/soap or surfactant material with abrasive particles suspended as the exfoliating agent.These abrasive agents come in various grades,from the very harsh sand type to the more gentler "microbead" type.This type of product is used to mechanically remove the top dead layer of skin(the horny layer).These scrubs are an effective way of whisking away dead skin cells and dirt/grime off the skin to leave the skin clean and smooth.They give a wonderful glow,BUT if you scrub too vigorously,or if the scrub itself is too harsh for your skin type,you will end up making your skin over sensitive and get broken blood capillaries.Some of these products exfoliate by scratching and can leave the skin quite sore.These scrubs are best reserved for use on less tender parts of the body.(Back and Shoulders).
The abrasive agents used in these products are usually ground particles of Apricot nut shells,Walnut shells,Almond nut shells,Ground nut kernels,Polystyrene microbeads and pumice granules.back to top
1.Splash your face/body with warm water.
2.Massage in the scrub gently over the entire face or body area(neck,shoulders,back).AVOID EYES and MOUTH area.
3.Leave in place for half to one minute and then wash off with warm water.
4.Use 2 to 3 times a week.
Face and body scrubs contain abrasive particles that literally scratch away at the horny,dead layer of your skin mechanically in order to exfoliate.The soap/cleanser in the scrub removes oilyness and the dead skin cells.The scratching action of the abrasive agent unfortunately is not very selective and can easily harm the deeper layers of your skin.It all depends on how vigorously you massage the scrub into your skin.The particles can scratch the live skin layer and leave your skin feeling quite sore.For this reason,scrubs containing harsh abrasive particles are not suitable for inflamed,acne prone skin.back to top
Add Devina`s choice to your skin care regime
Acne is best treated and prevented by addressing ALL the factors that lead to the formation of lesions. Therefore it is logical to combine treatment with products that address different causative factors(sebum, bacteria, dead skin). The action of each preparation will be ADDITIVE and lead to a more effective and faster result than can be achieved by a single product alone. It is usual to apply one product in the morning and a different one in the evening. However there are also products available that contain TWO of the active agents in the one application. All sufferers want instant results. You can help yourself by using this technique.
Complement, augment and enhance your existing acne treatment by taking advantage of the fact that by adding a product that addresses a different causative factor to your regime will enhance the existing treatment synergistically (An additive action) by producing FASTER and more EFFECTIVE results. Add DEVINA`S CHOICE peel-off face and body mask to your existing medical treatment for acne to enhance its effects. back to top |
