How to Get Softer Skin

EXFOLIATE

Getting rid of dead skin cells leads to silkier skin. When shopping for exfoliation products, look for ingredients like alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) in your facial products. When exfoliating tougher areas of your body, like your feet, you can use less gentle methods and products with ingredients like urea, lactic acid, and glycolic acid.

MOISTURIZE

Use a thicker cream for the rest of your body, ideally applying it right after you shower. You should be on the lookout for moisturizing ingredients in your skincare products, like hyaluronic acid, protectants (certain oils, waxes, petrolatum, butter), glycerin, and ceramides.

CLEAN UP YOUR DIET

Processed foods, simple carbohydrates, refined sugar, and excess animal fats are unhealthy for your body and skin.

EXERCISE REGULARLY

Exercising gets the blood moving through your body more rapidly, bringing more nutrients and oxygen to your skin. By improving blood circulation, your body produces more collagen a key ingredient for younger-looking skin.
