Tape Exfoliater

TAPE EXFOLIATER

-tutorial-

There are millions of exfoliating recipes, some with salt, some with sugar, some with honey and some with oil.  Though I really do like and use many of these recipes, sometimes I don't want to get my face all sticky and crunchy, I just need a quick fix. So here is a tutorial on how to exfoliate without water. 

What you need

Packaging tape, each brand works differently, some stickier, some gooier. My favorite brand is frustration free EZ start, its a crystal clear tape that works really well.

What to do

Simply peel a piece off, tear it, stick it to your nose, lips, face, or anywhere that needs exfoliation, and peel off. There are two ways to do this, you can either rip the tape off really fast to get an extreme exfoliation, or more slowly to only get the top layer off. One word of caution, be very careful not to use this process more than twice a week, because it can break capillaries on the delicate skin of the nose and around the eyes. After exfoliating, always make sure to moisturize well, because when you take off skin you are also taking off essential oils. My favorite moisturizer is Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion spf 15. This is a great way to get smooth healthy skin. 

I hope you enjoy this simple tutorial, and have a wondrous day!
