The skin is the largest organ in our body.  It is able to protect us from all the environment that surrounds us, although there are different factors that can damage it.

Among these we find:

• The makeup, even more if we leave it overnight
• The chemicals found in the products we use
• The sun, especially if we do not use sunscreen
• Dehydration
• Do not clean or exfoliate it properly

This can cause our Skin to deteriorate rapidly. In this case it may look cracked, dry, rough and tense.

However, when it comes to taking care of it, we must be attentive to the type of skin with which we treat, be it dry, normal, oily or mixed.

These differences in the skin mean that they can not be taken care of in the same way, because we could damage them even more if we do not treat them correctly.

For this reason, if you were looking for a way to exfoliate Dry Skin to make it look healthy and radiant, in this article we will give you 5 ways to do it.
