When your days consist of going to work and caring for your kids, time for self-care seems to take a back seat. However, busy moms need to devote some time to themselves as well. Otherwise, you risk burning out just when your business and your family need you most.

Fortunately, exfoliating your skin makes for the perfect spa treatment right at home. In fact, it’s also one of the best ways to bring out your beautiful, glowing complexion. This is how to properly exfoliate your skin and reap the benefits—both for your face and your mental well-being.

Choose the Right Product

There are several different types of exfoliating products on the market, and only a few of them will work on specific kinds of skin. Because of this, it’s vital that you spend some time familiarizing yourself with your skin’s needs and determining which ingredients to stay away from. This is the best way to avoid irritation and promote the results you’re after.

Pick the Right Time of Day

The next step to properly exfoliating your skin is to do so at the right time of day. You’re free to choose when you want to practice this part of your skin care routine, but some hours tend to facilitate a more beneficial reaction. Morning is typically the best time for this activity because it allows you to remove more dead cells and leave your skin glowing all day long.

Be Gentle

It’s crucial that you exfoliate gently. Exfoliating can be harsh on the skin should you press too hard; it can even inadvertently damage the healthier skin cells you’re trying to reveal. The best practice is to scrub lightly in circles over your face, rinse, and then follow up with a moisturizer.

Don’t Over-Exfoliate

Above all, though, make sure you aren’t exfoliating too often—this can also cause a plethora of skin issues. Excessive dryness or redness is one problem that can occur as a result of over-exfoliation. As such, you should try to limit this practice to once or twice a week rather than every day.

Proper exfoliation can do wonders for the skin’s natural beauty and health. Therefore, making it a part of a regular skin care routine is a must for any busy mom who wants a minute to herself.
