Good heavens! Just how did our complexion become
so dull and lifeless? No doubt about it, the whiteness of our skin is an
excellent reflector for the sun and will surely detract any and all
suitors who would otherwise have been attracted to our bared shoulders.
What's a girl to do?
Don't panic! Let's start at square one by
exfoliating and ridding our skin of all its dead surface cells. After all,
your skin is entitled to a breath of fresh air, too, don't you think?
AND NOW FOR AN EPISODE OF...THE EPIDERMIS....
The
skin produces cells that continuously renew themselves. The regenerative
cycle of young, healthy skins is roughly 28 days long, about the same as
the menstrual cycle.
Once a month your body rids itself of dead
cells. These defunct cells fall from the skin on their own, but a good
exfoliation can boost the process and make skin radiate! Exfoliation is
particularly important after the ravages of the long, cold winter that
thickens and dries out the skin.
You are not obliged to
"sandblast" your body, of course, and many dermatologists are critical of
exfoliation seeing it as nothing more than a way for some companies to
make a quick buck off of innocent people. The fact remains that it just
feels good to take care of yourself; and isn't soft skin worth a few extra
dollars?
