Skincare part 2: Recipe for Exfoliant!

Like Baby Skin

After cleansing it's exfoliation time! And this is a wonderful way clear your skin of dead skin cells, flakey patches and it's great for keeping your skin clear of spots and blackheads, making your skin soft as a baby's bottom. 

I have got into the way of using this mixture on my face which is simply rice flour and water. Personally I don't like using foaming scrubs and the likes on my face as I find them quite harsh and drying. (I've had bad experiences with them and so now I'm not brave enough to try anything new in that area, ahh!)

All you do is mix into a paste and very gently rub all over the face and rinse off with luke-warm water. 

I can't remember where I heard about using rice flour as an exfoliant but after a little research I tried it out and have used this method ever since. I exfoliate once or twice a week so my skin has the chance to naturally reproduce the oil it needs to stay moisturized instead of stripping it off every day.

Rice has emollient, exfoliating and anti-oxidant properties. It's also good to help reduce shine on you face because it contains starch which helps to absorb excess oil on your skin.
