Foot Massage

Foot Massage
Foot massage is one of the most unbelievably relaxing. Foot massage is a great thing. Foot reflexology is "pressure therapy" and involves applying focused pressure to certain known reflex points located in the foot to cure or prevent disease. Foot reflexology is based on the premise that our nerve zones or reflex points go from the bottom of our feet to the top of our head, encompassing all vital organs on the way. Thai Foot Massage is a massage of the lower legs and feet. Thai Foot Massage stimulates these points to promote general health and well-being. Thai Foot Massage takes it’s origins from China art. thai massage balances the elements of the mind and body, while thai foot massage stimulates the internal organs, giving the receiver an holistic treatment.

There are various creams and oils that can be used for a foot massage. However, we recommend the use of essential massage oils to achieve an ultimately relaxing foot massage. Giving a foot massage only requires a pair of feet and someone to give the massage. Oil or lotion can be used, but it's not necessary. A foot soak with a cup of Epsom salts dissolved in a gallon of warm water is a wonderful way to de-stress before you begin the foot massage. Dry thoroughly, including between your toes. Try to give equal attention to both feet, as the body abhors asymmetry. There are many foot massage techniques releif feet. Stroking massage techniques stimulates the blood vessels in your feet and promotes gentle heat. Hold the foot in your hands and begin to massage the top surface of the foot.

Use your thumbs in a slow, firm stroking motion, starting at the toes and moving up to the ankle. Another massage techniques ankle rotation. Firstly, gentle move the ankle side to side to loosen the ankle joint. Rotate the foot clockwise and anticlockwise 3 or 4 times to relax the foot from the ankle joint, reversing the directions will calm and de-stress your senses. Kneading massage technique uses the knuckles at the second joints. "Knead" the area like dough with large pressing, rotating movements. Other foot massage technique is pivoting. Gently hold the foot in you hand and use the other hand to massage the sole of the foot with your thumb. Pivoting can be a very relaxing especially if you vary the amount of pressure being applied to the ball of the foot.

Foot Massage Tips

1. Soak your feet for about 10-15 minutes in lukewarm water with a few drops of peppermint or lavender oil.

2. Stroke the foot from the cords towards the fingers, first gently then gradually increasing the pressure.

3. Oil or lotion can be used, but it's not necessary.

4. Massage in circular motion using your fingers and your thumb on the sole of the foot.

5. Again massage the sole in circular motion using your thumbs and fingers.

6. Wipe off the excess oil or cream.

Beauty through the ages - the Wild Sixties


Beauty through the ages-the Wild Sixties

Beauty through the ages - the Wild Sixties

A time of hippies and Twiggy, bell-bottoms and mini-skirts
The 1960’s were as wild as the 50’s were conservative, with political and social upheaval and drastic changes in fashion, makeup, and overall style within a short span of time. The rebellion was originally led by youth on college campuses – the hippie generation, who believed in free love, recreational drugs, and communal living. They had a distinctive look, with loose fitting clothing, bell-bottom pants, and natural fabrics.
Women often went from one extreme to another; one day opting for micro-mini skirts and barely-there halter tops, and the next day donning floor length, shapeless ponchos and yards of fabric in flowing granny skirts. Fashion for the male generation in this group was flamboyant, often including unusual prints in bright colors, layers of clothing, and lots of headbands to hold back flowing hair. Love beads were layered around the neck and hoop earrings of all sizes were popular. Mood rings made their first appearance and many switched from golden hues to sterling silver.
Shoes were more functional than fashionable for both men and women. Both sexes regularly chose earthy-looking sandals or sturdy combat boots. The same applied to handbags, which were often handmade macramé totes rather than the small, compact clutches or handbags of the 50’s.
Hair was a crucial part of 60’s fashion. Flower children preferred to let their hair grow out and weren’t at all concerned with curling or styling their locks, and there was little difference between the way that men and women wore their hair. Long locks were in for both, and many took the look to the extreme. Hairstyles were, for the most part, lacking - long hair was often pulled back into braids or ponytails just to get it out of the way. Bandanas, kerchiefs, and headbands kept it from falling constantly into their eyes while buying another day or two before washing was necessary.
Hair wasn’t the only thing that much of the hippie generation refused to wash regularly. Suddenly, natural body odor was considered acceptable and many flower children conserved water and bucked the establishment by bathing less regularly. Makeup was simple; just lip gloss, or was avoided altogether. The emphasis was on peace and love and not on beauty and style.
While hippies represented the simple life, the rest of the 60’s generation was in tune with the modern craze created in England. Super model Twiggy’s short skirts and closely cropped hair, big wide eyes and unique modern fashion choices caught the attention of young women all over the world. While the flower children went for long hair, the modern woman just as often opted for a short pixie style instead. Wigs also became popular for those women who couldn’t quite achieve the overall look that they wanted. In particular, “falls,” which consisted of very long hair that was attached to the crown of the head and covered over with natural hair, were extremely popular.
While makeup for the hippie generation was simple, makeup for the modern woman was anything but. Foundation was often heavy and skewed lighter than the natural complexion. Blush or rouge, as it was still called by some, was heavy on the apples of the cheeks in a variety of pink shades. The eyes were a major focus for the 60’s. The bigger and wider the look, the better the woman felt about herself and her fashion style. False eyelashes were a must and sometimes included more than a single pair. Suddenly eyeliner was back in a big way. It closely resembled the style once worn by ancient Egyptians because it was drawn around the entire eye rather than just at the top or the bottom. Mascara finished off the heavy, severe look.
Lips were also important, and just about every woman wanted that perfect pouty look that was done so well by the models of the era. Lipstick colors were pale in an effort to make the lips look even bigger, with colors like pale pink and lavender the most popular shades. Some even incorporated a pearlized or silvery look. Natural colored lip liner helped to define the lips well and added fullness to smaller mouths that needed a little extra “oomph.”
Fashion for the other half of the 60’s world was very different from their hippie counterparts. While school fashions remained pretty conservative overall, hemlines certainly made a change; inching well above the knee for the first time since the Roaring 20’s. Outside of school, youth often opted for blue jeans and t-shirts. No longer plain in nature, the new “tee” carried a message - often against the establishment - a symbol of peace, or a colorful pattern. Tie-dye was popular across both sections of the 60’s population.
Those who still wore dresses or skirts headed toward the mini in order to show off as much leg as possible. Women became obsessed with becoming rail thin in order to mimic the most popular models of the day. Many physicians today believe that this decade gave birth to future generations of anorexic and bulimic young women who saw no other way to achieve their weight goal.
Polyester hit the marketplace and many chose it because the fabric required less overall care with regard to starching, ironing or drying; many simply dripped dry and were ready to wear again the next day. The new fabric also took bold colored dyes well and came in the popular psychedelic colors and patterns of the day.
Like their hippie counterparts, this group also liked sandals, although their choice leaned closer to over-exaggerated platforms. Go-go boots also made a major impact on the fashion world that would continue well into the 70's.
No other generation had such a dramatic impact on fashion and style. Many of the trends carried over into the 70’s and some are still popular today.

Jewelry Appropriate for Informal Events

Jewelry Appropriate for Informal Events

Dressing up for a special occasion can be fun. You get to wear a special dress, accessorized with the perfect shoes and beautiful jewelry as well. However, what about dressing for informal events and everyday activities? Few people give close thought to the jewelry that they wear when going to an informal event or for a casual day at the office. While most women would know better than to wear a full drape of diamonds to the office, the rules about informal and casual jewelry are not set in stone. There are, however, some guidelines that can help you choose jewelry appropriate for informal events.

You don’t have to match informal jewelry.
Women often wear matched sets of necklaces, earrings and bracelets or brooches for formal events. Not only is matching unnecessary for informal wear, it can actually be to your advantage to mix and match as long as you follow a few rules.
-          In general, stick with one type of metal unless the metals are mixed in one piece as in a lovely 18k gold and silver weave ring, where a band of sterling silver surrounds a golden basket-weave band.
-          Wear jewelry from the same collection. Jewelry designers like Roz Kwan often create pieces with a coordinated “look” that don’t quite match, but look great together. A great example is a pair of red jade teardrop earrings made by Roz Kwan, worn with a red carved cinnabar bracelet, also from Kwan’s Far East Market collection.
-          Keep the pieces that you choose in balance. A gaudy, chunky necklace can look awkward when paired with delicate diamond earrings but hit just the right note when worn with a pair of 14k gold earrings with hoops carved of a matching stone.

You can get away with whimsy at informal events
Most women wouldn’t dream of wearing a ring in the shape of a parrot to a formal ball, but the parrot ring from the SoHo collection would be perfectly at home at a dance club or an evening out with friends. Luncheons and afternoon events like baby showers are the ideal event for showing off your love of tumbling dice or lucky horseshoes or even a frog created in green garnets, rubies and diamonds.

Don’t overdo it
If you choose a single flashy piece like a 14k gold pendant with a Morro Redondo Bi-Color tourmaline stone, accent it with subtle pieces that will not compete with it. In other words, try to balance things. Do not wear a whole slew of chunky bracelets plus a thick rope of pearls, plus a pair of shoulder-duster earrings. You will just end up with a whole palette of warring stones and colors. Instead, choose one piece that you want to shine and either wear it alone or wear coordinating pieces that do not outshine it.
Conversely, choose a matched set in a more subtle design or style. A triple strand of cultured black pearls worn with delicate black freshwater black pearl drop earrings and a ring set with a single lustrous black pear can make a subtle but definitive style statement – one of elegant, natural beauty.

Don’t forget the unusual jewelry accents
There is more to jewelry than just rings, necklaces and earrings. These days, we tend to forget other pieces that can add to your style and solidify your look. Hair pieces, for instance, are often overlooked when women choose jewelry for wear on an informal occasion, but a set of jeweled combs or a clip set with semi-precious stones can add a subtle finishing touch to an ensemble for a day at the office or an informal afternoon event.
Likewise, consider pins and brooches, which are often seen as far too fussy and old-fashioned for modern wear. Pendants, charms and pins are making a comeback in the jewelry and fashion world, worn on lapels or, more surprisingly, on the brim of a hat or pinned to the flap of a shoulder bag or clutch purse.
Don’t forget that watches are jewelry, too, and add to your overall look. Replace your everyday watch with one designed to accent your outfit or the other pieces of jewelry and watch the compliments roll in. Wear a bangle watch with a suit to the office, or a cuff bracelet watch with a sleeveless shell. A Dolce & Gabbana leather and stainless steel watch can be a signature jewelry piece all on its own, while a simple watch with a full set of interchangeable colored leather straps can ensure that your watch always matches your favorite outfit for the day.
Whatever jewelry you choose for informal wear, be sure to keep the overall look coordinated and in balance. After you have finished dressing, take a look at yourself in a full-length mirror to be sure that your overall look is not cluttered, and that no one piece distracts from your entire look.

Breast Development in Girls

Breast Development in Girls

Looking for substitute to surgical breast enlargement. You really seek enhancement and/or swelling of the breasts out of dissatisfaction, feelings of inadequacy or probably, you just desire to fill the clothes, particularly the sexy bras out more alluringly! You, just like millions of other women, have one easy query that “do breast enhancement pills work?” It is quite oblivious that Firmer and fuller breasts seem to the elusive objects of wish for so many nowadays, particularly with changing numbers of women who get surgery for augmentation, it has approximately become a status quo.
But you might not look for the round tough unmoving, and sometimes appearing quite artificial – the breast implants. It used be if you were in this circumstances, you were truly just relegated to live with the bosoms you had, and to learn liking them. Considerably, now, with the advent of higher science and nutraceutical hi-technology, there are some very workable and effectual alternatives to surgical breast enhancement, the natural pills, being the most sought-after thing. So, this again brings us the similar query, do breast enlargement pills really work?
The answer, straightforwardly, is yes such pills do really work, but buyer, beware! All of them might not work – not by any stretch of your mind. Not only that, but there are plenty of such products that might actually produce unwanted side effects. However, we do not deny that there are no genuine products.  Breast Products do fall in the group that has been widely used and trusted by million of women. They not only help enlarging breasts but also provide enough nutrition to female body that it might lack of.
However, along with the pills’ therapy, there are some universal lifestyle guidelines one needs to adhere to in order to get maximum profit out of such products. Sometimes the manufacturers of breast enhancement pills also inform you about such exercises and diet. They might have such instruction on their websites for instance, you can learn an effective technique about breast massage with useful explanation of  nano Breast Serum neglect to tell you that you must adhere to certain lifestyle guidelines in order for their formula to take result and actually induce additional breast growth after your body’s natural mechanisms have “shut off” the breast growth cycle.
These herbal capsules hold natural hormone called as phyto-estrogen. And this is the key ingredient that finally works onto the breasts’ tissues and make them newer and bigger. Such natural hormones rouse the estrogen receptors in the breast tissues and permanently enlarge the breasts’ size. Phyto-estrogens are the substances found in plant foods (phyto means 'a plant'). They are quite similar in structure to that of the unique female sex hormone estrogen produced naturally in their bodies.
The capsules are said to work by 'tricking' the breasts keen on believe that the woman is pregnant! This means that the pill stimulates the manufacture of estrogen in woman’s body in the same way that estrogen is produced when she is carrying two lives! The motto behind this is that the bosoms get distended in the same way as they would if the woman were pregnant. However, in such theory, the good part is, the front-organs, though urbanized as in pregnancy, will not produce any milk.
Most of the enhancement supplements hold natural herbs or their extracts. Herbal breast enhancement pills use a diversity of herbs that help stimulating breast growth. And while all are different, they use a broad blend of usually utilized herbs. Herbal breast enhancement can either be through capsule, cream, or liquid like serum or gel. Some supplements even present such ingredient in a spray form.

Eyes - Beautiful Eyes

Eyes - Beautiful Eyes

A human is the perfect creation of the almighty. Eyes are once of the most precious parts of human body. Without eyes everything is dark. Have you ever felt the pain of a blind man for whom every color is black? And those who have eyes do not care about them until their ratings goes in minus, until they feel pain. Many children are suffering from night blindness. Eyes are precious and we have to take care of them.
Vitamin A is the vital vitamin that keeps eyes healthy and as usual if we take correct diet, balanced diet we can give our body enough Vitamin A so that body system can take care of eyes. It is the responsibility of the parents that they make their children habitual of eating healthy food. Junk food like Pizza, burger, chips and soft drinks is harmful for them and in today's world children just love them.
Carotene is another vital substance that helps our body produce Vitamin A. Green vegetables and ripe yellow fruits are carotene rich natural products. Other resources for Vitamin A are carrot, radish, coriander, soy, papaya, dates, banana, orange, mango and dairy products. These days chemicals are used to ripe the fruits. So if you are infection prone like in case of the blood cancer patients, wash the fruits with hot water before consumption. Just don't jump for vitamin A capsules, if you take above mentioned fruits and vegetables there is very little chance that you would face any eye problem.
Avoid red chilies, fried food, junk food and hot food. This stuff is harmful for eyes. Take morning walks, if possible walk barefoot on wet grass. Rose water is another natural product. Pour few drops of rose water at bed time this will instantly give your eyes relief. I am a computer professional and whole day I sit in front of computer at work at home. When my eyes are tired rose water does wonder for me. It instant cures reddishness.
Indians are using Kajal to enhance the beauty of eyes from ancient time. Don't use Kajal which is available at many road side little shops. There is no guaranty that it will be good for health. Make Kajal at home. Burn a lamp with clarified butter (Cow Milk) and make Kajal out of that. Apply it bed time. Try this, you will be more then happy.
Keep yourself and children at a distance from TV. Stay away from the Sas Bahu sagas. Protest eyes from dust, smoke and bright light. Make sure that your study room is properly lit. Practice Pranayam and after Bhramri rub your palms and transfer this positive energy to the eyes.
The world is beautiful and so are your eyes. Protect them. Make eye donation. Your soul will change clothes but your eyes will be seeing the beautiful planet earth.

Beauty Tips for Necks

Beauty Tips for Necks

Beauty tips for necks can help to maintain the youth and beauty of your neck. Although the neck area is one of the most sensitive parts of the body, it is often neglected. In addition to regular exercise and good posture, apply sunscreen to your neck when you venture outdoors. Wash your neck daily because pollution, dust and sweat collect on your skin. Use cleansers, exfoliants, moisturizers and masks made from inexpensive products to care for your neck.

  1. Cleansers

    • Pound three strawberries to a paste and blend it with milk. Take advantage of the rich amount of antioxidants in strawberries to create this homemade cleanser. Apply the cleanser to your neck and rinse with warm water to help tighten the skin. Extract the juice from some raspberries, a source of vitamin C, and stir in 2 tsp. of cucumber juice and 1 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar. Apply this toner after cleansing to enhance the texture of your neck. Cleanse your neck with rose water if you're in a rush, and also use rose water to wipe your face and neck when outdoors. Use milk, or even add rose water to milk, to make another effective cleanser for your neck.

    Exfoliants

    • Blend lemon juice, turmeric powder and salt into a smooth paste. Apply this mixture to your neck, and gently rub the salt-based paste to remove dead cells. Sprinkle fresh cream with a dash of sugar and tea to create another exfoliant. Scrub your neck with the mixture for about two minutes, and then wash it off. Apply moisturizer after exfoliating to prevent premature aging.

    Moisturizers

    • Use cream as a moisturizer to rejuvenate your neck. Extract juice from cucumbers and mix with tomato juice and cream. Apply this mixture to your neck for about 15 minutes, and then rinse off. Use bananas to create a moisturizing mask that outperforms expensive neck wrinkle creams. Mash one ripe banana in a bowl. Add 2 tsp. of flax seed oil and five drops of rose water. Apply the paste to your neck for 20 minutes, and then rinse off with water. While the banana tightens your neck, the flax seed oil contains omega-3 fatty acids that nourish your skin.

    Massage

    • Massage your neck with olive, almond or coconut oil to nourish the skin. Use cold cream if you don't have one of these oils on hand. Lay your head down on a low pillow so your body is almost perfectly horizontal. Use light finger pressure and massage your neck in a soothing upward motion to activate your lymphatic glands as well as remove dead skin cells. Take deep breaths while performing your neck massage.

    Posture

    • Practice correct posture, keeping your neck in an upright position. Strengthen your carriage by balancing a book on top of your head while standing against a wall. Move away from the wall, and try and walk without dropping the book. Avoid unnecessary neck strain by using the appropriate parts of your body to lift or push objects. Do neck stretches and exercises throughout the day to keep the muscles in your neck firm and flexible.

Healthy Full Lips - The Finishing Touch To Perfect Skincare

Healthy Full Lips - The Finishing Touch To Perfect Skincare


We live in a busy complex world with our standards for health and beauty set high by the media, Hollywood, and fashion magazines alike. The truth is most of us just want to look and feel our best. Good skin and lip care is where to start for that healthy glowing look we strive for. We do not want to look our age, we want fewer wrinkles, and we want full or thick and soft looking lips, the kind the models have and the kind we had when we were young. Where do we start?

Lip Care
First, we start with a good facial cleanser, one that is not drying to the lips and around the mouth. Second, you must keep your lips in mind when picking skincare products. There are many products which are specifically designed just for the lips. Those products are intended to moisturize and restore lip cells to a healthy state.

Types of products to consider
Lip care treatments that exfoliate and contain natural ingredients for moisturizing are ideal. The exfoliating removes dead skin and restores lips to a supple feel. The moisturizers can contain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant's to rejuvenate the skin and tissue of your lips. Some products also contain essential oils or extracts from sunflower, green tea, avocado, and aloe vera to soften lips and make them supple.
Products that exfoliate help to remove lipstick build-up and do not have to be harsh. Balms or moisturizers used after you exfoliate replenish moisture and natural oils restoring lips to a new soft and full look and feel.
Sunscreen is another important piece of keeping lips soft, full, and supple. Sunscreen should be a part of lip balms, moisturizers, or lipsticks used for daily wear. Sunscreen protects from damage from ultraviolet rays and burns aiding in keeping lips looking and feeling healthy.
Products come in the form of scrubs, lotions, and creams. The price range for good lip care can be very inexpensive all the way up to extremely costly for some brands. The price of lip care, like anything else, doesn’t always mean quality. Look for products that make your lips look and feel full and fluffy, soft and supple, and wrinkle free.

Cosmetics for the lips
These products can make or break the look you are trying to achieve with your lips. Choose lipsticks and liners that enhance your skin color and make up. Lighter shades for daytime use are more becoming. Leave darker shades for night time for a more dramatic look. Fashion experts offer advice in magazines, television, and just about anywhere make up is sold on color choices and various trendy looks. Lip liners help to extend the width of your natural lip line and when used correctly, enhance the shape and look of your lips. Remember to look for sunscreen worked into the product.

Quick lip care steps:
1. Cleanse and exfoliate
2. Moisturize and restore
3. Add color, liner, and sunscreen

Healthy skin and lips are part of a healthy lifestyle. Exercise, diet, rest, and choosing the right lip care products will give you full fluffy lips for that ageless beauty we all seek.

Having dirty, untidy nails, may display untidy and unhealthy habits of a person. Whereas, clean, well- groomed, tidy nails definitely display cleanliness regimen and regular care of a person's body. This is a very basic of cleanliness habit, which is taught to us right from the school days. When we grow up, we realize its importance even more. In many professions, like musical instrument players, administration or data entry require hand skills and the prominently visible part of our body is hands and nails after face. So it becomes very important to take good care of this smallest body part. Right from childhood we are given so many nail grooming tips, we can very well relay on them throughout our life. Having healthy pink Negle tipper is a sign of good health. Any white spots on them display deficiency of protein. Having cracked or fragile nails is a sign of calcium deficiency. The lighter pink half circles at the root of Negle tipper is a sign of energy levels in body, having these half circles on all the finger nails is considered excellent.
Regularly applying hand lotion onto hands and nails at night leaves our hands and nails hydrated and well fed with moisturizer. Clean and properly cut nails also speak volumes about good hygiene habits of that person. Wearing Neglelak is another aspect which adds weight to attractiveness of hands. It is recommended to leave the nails uncolored after regular intervals or if you are required to wear it daily, like models or actors, then remove the Neglelak preferably at night. Colors coat your nails and disrupt oxygen supply to nails through air, this makes nails turn yellowish, when not removed timely. Using authentic products for nail grooming, visiting nail parlors for getting the manicure and pedicure done is a call of time. Besides, immersing your finger tips in mixture mild shampoo, moisturizer and luke warm water can cleanse the nail thoroughly. Avoid direct contact of hands with any harsh chemicals, always use gloves. Healthy food habits like eating protein rich food, raw food also help in maintaining healthy nails, as it supplies required amount of keratin to nails.

How to Keep Hair Healthy and Shining

How to Keep Hair Healthy and Shining

Hair are one of essential part of women personality. A women with rough and dry hair is called uncaring and ugly women. So keep an eye on you hair regularly. Here are some great and useful tips, which can be used at home.
Washing
Hair tends to be weak when it's wet, so be careful while washing your hair. Vigorous rubbing, scrubbing and pulling can cause damage. Use a mild shampoo that does not contain harmful chemicals. Instead, it should contain natural ingredients with conditioning properties. While washing, keep your hair straight down and wash from the scalp to the tips. Rub your scalp and hair gently using your fingers. This helps to increase the blood supply to the scalp and roots. Use cool water for the last rinse. Lastly, condition your hair with a good conditioner. After you finish washing and conditioning, wrap a soft towel around your head for a few minutes to mop up excess water.
Never let the dirt and sweat build up in your hair as it makes your hair tangle easily. Be sure to wash your hair with good quality shampoo after outdoor activities, so that your hair looks nice and clean.
You should brush the hair to help improve the shine. Brushing your hair evenly distribute the oils from the scalp throughout the hair shaft. Use a soft bristle brush when washing your hair; do not brush your hair harshly. Make sure you brush your hair 2 to 3 times a day and always brush in downward motion. If you have long hair that tends to tangle on the ends, you should start brushing from the ends to remove any tangles and work up to the scalp.
To have healthy, shining and beautiful hair, you should never brush wet hair. Wet hair is much weaker than when it is dry. Wet hair will break easily if it is not combed gently.
Watch Your Diet
Nutrition plays a vital role in skin health too. Specific foods such as those acidic foods and dairy products are said to be effective in causing an allergic reaction in some people. Also, one of the widely debated topics in the area of nutrition today is chocolates. Some say that chocolate does affect the condition of the skin, while others say it doesn’t. Whatever the result may be, the best advice is just to follow a nutritious diet that has a number of fresh fruits and green-leafy veggies, as well as fiber.
Consider Exfoliants
Many experts say that exfoliating your skin is another great way to attain a beautiful skin. So, try to invest in a good body exfoliant or “loofah", as it is commonly called, as it is capable of eliminating the dead skin cells from your body. Accordingly, this should be done once or twice a week so to free the skin to breathe. What’s more, exfoliants help to put off ingrown hair from developing.
However, it is essential to avoid using any body exfoliant on the skin on the face. The main reason for this precaution is that the facial tissue is more sensitive and finer than those tissues of the body.
