Sandy Beaches Soften Feet

Beaches are a great way to relax while soaking in the sun at the same time. What could be better than reading a book, enjoying the sound of the ocean or engaging in water activities? The only downside about the beach is all that sand. It ends up in the folds of your bathing suit, tangled in your hair and in between your toes. When you’re frantically trying to remove all the sand from your feet at the end of the day, consider this.  Beach sand is a natural way to soften the feet.

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells on the body’s surface revealing a new layer of skin underneath. This new layer of skin is softer and smoother because it has not been exposed to natural elements. Every time you walk on the beach with bare feet, you are reaping the benefits of exfoliation. This is because sand is coarse enough to help loosen the dry skin that builds up on your feet.

With exfoliation, you can:

Look Younger Your skin can tell someone a lot about your age. Wrinkled hands and feet, creases around the eyes and sagging skin are all signs of aged skin. Exfoliation reveals smooth, younger looking skin. If done on a regular basis, it can slow down the aging process.

Exude Radiance Have you ever wondered why models and actresses always seem to have a glow about them? Well, it is not all about just using makeup. Exfoliation gives skin a natural glow that you cannot get from makeup. If you suffer from dull, tired skin exfoliation is a great way to keep your skin glowing.

Feel Better, Literally You will notice a difference in the way your skin feels immediately. It will be soft to the touch and very smooth.

Be Healthy Exfoliation cleanses the skin and opens the skin’s pores. This helps to reduce breakouts and fade blemishes.

While exfoliation is beneficial, too much of it can actually dry or irritate the skin.  Exfoliating once a week is a good place to start. Always follow up with a hydrating lotion to replace any moisture lost during the exfoliation process. So, if you are hitting the beach all the time, throw a bottle of lotion in your beach bag as well.
