Skin care weblog

I finally found a very simple, effective, yet gentle way to remove
skin flakes. I’d like to share this with you, and let me know how it
works.

After washing with whatever gentle cleaner you normally use, do
not dry the area (leave it wet)

Wet 3 or 4 Q-tips with water, and gently ‘buff’ (or polish) the
flakey areas in a circular motion. 10 times is adequate.

Rinse again with water to remove any cotton, skin flakes or other
debris

Dry the area

Apply whatever gentle cream you normally use

I use this technique on my lips (which can get flakey), and my face,
which gets incredibly flakey after a bout with allergies. I’ve tried
everything in the past, including abrasive body scrubs, dry brushing
before cleansing, high-powered alpha-hydroxy acids. My Q-tip remedy
is simple, cheap, and most important — gentle! Hope this helps
someone.
