Come the end of the year, our skin gets a chance to recover from the summer blast of excessive sun exposure, chlorine and saltwater. This results in a build of of dead skin all over the face which often come together in flakes and leave us looking dehydrated and rough. If your complexion could use a bit of a boost, focus on your exfoliating efforts to rid yourself of that summer layer of dull skin. We've covered every skin type and included product suggestions to help make your life just a little easier.
If you have oily skin: Exfoliating is essential for keeping oily skin under control, year-round. An ideal product for oily skin should slough off dead skin cells, sweat and sebum, without irritating the skin and triggering more oil production. Steer clear of creams or thick lotions, consider using only liquid, serum, or gel formulations.
Try: Lush Dark Angels. Powdered charcoal is great for absorbing excess oils from the skin with its dry texture, and black sugar works to gently exfoliate and absorb excess oils to leave skin fresh and matte. A clay base deep-cleans to help prevent breakouts and clear up existing blemishes.
