Expert stresses the importance of exfoliating in summer


Rx for Brown Skin for African American skin care

 


Summer means that it's time to change your African American skin care routine in preparation for the warmer weather. Recently, Access Hollywood spoke to skin care professional Sonya Dakar, who has worked with many celebrities, and she offered tips on how to get your skin ready for the warmer weather.


First, she recommended changing the cleanser you use. Switch out the heavy moisturizing wash and change it out for an oil-absorbing one. Next, Dakar said you want to be sure to exfoliate.


"No matter how much lotion you use, you’re never going to have glowing skin if you don’t exfoliate. Especially when you are transitioning from spring to summer- you want to reveal a fresh young complexion! Grab a gentle facial exfoliator and hit the shower. The steam will gently soften your skin and allow the scrub to easily slough off dead dull skin," said Dakar, quoted by the news source.


Daily Glow reminds its readers that you shave more in the summer, so you need to replace your razor often and shave only after you’ve been in the shower for a few minutes, which is when the hairs are softer.
