(Like you’d partied for 12 hours straight.) “Also, you should always remember to moisturize after exfoliating,” she said.
Face saver: steer clear of face scrubs that contains fruit seeds and pits, which can be too harsh and tear sensitive skin, advises Leslie Bauman, MD, author of The Skin Type Solution. Instead, slough with a mild microbead scrub (try Doce Gentle Exfoliating Facial Foam, Php 80), and follow it wirh a good moisturizer. Look for the ones that contains olive oil or shea butter if you have a dry complexion, and go for a grease-free formulas with hyaluronic acid if you’re a bit oily, such as a Clinique Continuous Rescue Antioxidant Moisturizer, Php 2,700. and to increase your rosy glow – sans the help of products – hit the gym regularly to draw oxygen to your skin and enhance your natural radiance.
