The Best DIY Skin Rejuvenation Treatments For After Summer

- Your feet thicken from wearing sandals or going barefoot
- Your hands toughen up from gardening, sailing, playing tennis etc.
What are the best DIY home remedies for after summer skin rejuvenation?
The mantra here is hydration and exfoliation! And yes, you can do a lot of this at home without cosmetic surgery or expensive spa treatments. The challenge:Your skin's outer dead cell layer has thickened up, leaving it feeling rough and looking dull, weathered, wrinkly and older than it should. Age spots and freckles may be darker and crustier. Enough said, there is a fix!
The fix:Hydration means adding water to the outer layers of your skin. You can't do this by drinking water, you can only add water to your skin from the outside. Adding water will make your skin dewy, moist and soft - and it will just feel better.
Exfolation means sloughing off the dry leathery stuff that's built up on your skin to protect you from the elements; it brings new life to your skin. Exfoliated skin looks brighter, smoother and uneven pigment is less obvious ... and your skin feels velvety soft, honestly!
What simple DIY at-home skin regimens can you do to get the deep hydration and exfoliation that will transform and rejuvenate your skin? Change how you bathe and moisturize 1. Use gentle, hydrating glycerin soaps for general bathing so that you don't over-dry your skin. There are many glycerin soaps available at speciality shops. My favorite is Whole Food's 365 glycerin bar which will set you back a mere $2 or so. Plus, only use soap on the parts of your skin that are really dirty, excessively oily, or that produce body odor (armpits, groin, buttocks and feet). Don't forget to use warm, not steamy hot water when you bathe because hot water pulls more of your skin's natural oils out, which you don't want. 2. Exfoliate in the shower or bath using an exfoliating shower cloth or shower mitt. My favorites are the Salux Cloth and the Buf Puf Body Sponge. Even better is to use this cloth or sponge with a gentle AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) cleanser such as Glytone Body Wash. This is as good as a full body exfoliation treatment at a spa! The Glytone Body Wash and a Salux Cloth are part of my Anti Aging Body Kit which I and my patients have depended on for years to keep our skin hydrated and exfoliated. 3. Moisturize within 3 minutes after toweling dry by using a rich moisturizer. You could use a pure oil like jojoba oil or extra virgin coconut oil, or a richly hydrating commercial body moisturizer like Cetaphil Cream and Aquaphor Ointment. Even better is to moisturize and exfoliate with a professional AHA moisturizer, and the best of the best is Glytone Body Lotion, which is why it's what I've chosen for my Anti Aging Body Kit. Remember, AHA’s help lighten uneven pigment such as darkened sun freckles, and they soften crusty age spots too.To buy or read more about my Anti Aging Body Kit click here
