Women often exfoliate their legs the day after shaving.
When a person exfoliates their legs, they remove layers of dead skin cells, making the skin on their legs look softer and smoother. The skin on the legs and other areas of the body can be exfoliated with a natural bristle brush, loofah sponge, or by rubbing. The best results are obtained when a person exfoliates in the shower. Ideally, a person should use a gentle scrub to exfoliate their legs so that it doesn’t damage the skin. You should also not exfoliate too often.
A body scrub exfoliates dead skin cells from the body.
The scrub removes dry, dead skin cells, making skin look brighter and preventing pores and hair follicles from becoming clogged. A person may want to exfoliate their legs a day after shaving their legs. The hair will have started to grow back and the exfoliation will prevent the skin from blocking the hair follicle, preventing ingrown hairs. Using a brush or scrub on the skin on your legs will also help prevent leg pimples.
Loofah sponges are used to exfoliate the legs.
A mild product should be used to exfoliate the legs. Some scrubs can be very harsh on the skin on your legs, especially if you have sensitive skin. A natural scrub, like one made with sugar, dissolves as you use it and won’t scratch your skin. People with sensitive skin should avoid scrubs that contain acids such as salicylic acid or alpha-hydroxy acid, although scrubs can be very effective on people with oily skin.
Loofah sponges are easy to use to exfoliate your legs.
Instead of using a scrub to exfoliate the legs, a person may choose to use a brush. Natural bristle brushes work best because the bristles are soft and smooth, but still remove dead skin. Plastic or nylon bristles can be very rough and scratch the skin.
The loofah sponge is another product that a person can use to exfoliate their legs, although it may be too harsh for very sensitive skin. They are made from natural, dry and very fibrous pumpkins. Other natural exfoliation products include scrubs with seeds or fruit pieces.
A sugar-based scrub is an easy way to get rid of dry skin on your legs.
It is possible to exfoliate too much. Exfoliating your legs once a week is usually enough for most people, although people with very oily or dry skin may want to exfoliate twice a week. When a person exfoliates his legs, he can apply the scrub while taking a warm bath, not a hot one. The skin of the legs must be moist before applying the scrub. After exfoliating, you may choose to apply a moisturizer as the final step.
