Tip Tuesday: Exfoliate Your Skin
Exfoliation is an important and easy way to buff away the dead skin cells that cover up your skin’s natural glow, but just once or twice a week should do the trick. Overdoing it can cause dryness and irritation. My favorite product I use is Freeman Charcoal & Black Sugar Face Polishing Mask once a week (http://go.magik.ly/ml/3ba7/).

My skin feels so smooth, not dry and I follow up with my anti-aging products,…
