Exfoliation is the process of scrubbing off dead skin cells to reveal and expose “younger,” fresher skin. The shedding process unclogs pores, keeps skin clean and helps reduce acne breakouts. It’s usually the first step in cleaning your face, to be followed by washing your face with soap (preferably one with hypoallergenic properties) and finally, moisturizing.

Unfortunately, many men wash exclusively with plain old, hotel-grade soap. It’s certainly enough to keep you clean, but it’s not the best bet to keep your skin healthy. Indeed, bar soap dries out your skin, its ingredients sometimes clogging pores and leading to rougher skin in the long run.

Exfoliation also specifically helps men in a huge way: It exposes the face’s hair follicles, allowing for a better shave. And we all know that a smoother shave is practically the holy grail of a man’s morning routine.

exfoliate part by part

Men have hair all over, and hair traps oil, dirt and grime. For men, there are three major areas in need of regular exfoliation: face, back and chest (exfoliating your feet and hands is great, but not essential).\

healthy skin is easy

You know your body best, so only you can decide whether to exfoliate daily, every other day (three times per week is a good routine), or maybe just give yourself a nice scrubbing once a week. Exfoliating too often can damage the skin; exfoliating too little may let your skin’s oils run wild. Whichever schedule you settle on, recognize that while exfoliating takes some extra effort, by doing it, you’ll ultimately have to worry less about wrinkles, flaky skin and acne. And that’s a tradeoff every man should take.

In order to improve your complexion, eliminate the following food out of your diet:

• foods like broiled lobsters and deviled crabs,
• foods like tartar sauce,
• foods like pies,
• drinks that contain caffeine such as coffee, tea and hot chocolate,
• alcohol drinks,
• foods that contain lots of salt,
• processed meats and other junk food.

The above mentioned foods are not healthy for your skin and will make your skin complexion look bad. Most of these foods are also not good for your overall health and should be avoided as much as possible.

Eating processed meat and junk food for instance dries out the skin. Further on, dry skin causes premature aging skin and (as mentioned) bad skin complexion.

By controling what you eat, you also control how good looking your skin complexion is. Avoid eating the foods named above and see how your bad skin transform itself into glowing and clear skin complexion that will make you feel beautiful and confident!

I have been amazed over the past few weeks at how many of my clients who have started on Bion, have cleared up their acne. This stuff produces results, and clients are happy.

As an Aesthetician, one of the most common problems and complaints I hear about is acne. No one likes to have break outs; it’s hard on the self esteem. When you find a product that performs and can resolve 90% of the acne cases you see, well, you love it. It’s all about picking the right mix of products for the type of acne you have.
