I have been looking at a lot of threads on the use of copper peptides, and everyone seems to agree that you should use exfoliators to enhance the efficacy , but whenever I do exfoliate my skin always ends up really tight, more dry, red and sometimes itchy( although very smooth) and then I seem to need to slather on the moisteriser. So should I lay off buying any exfoliator? Thankyou in advance for Any answers! |

This then allows more water to exit the skin and causes more skin drying. This then causes people to use more moisturizers. A viscous cycle of usage which The Cosmetic Cartel creates to sell more useless products. Like a drug addition. 3. For very dry skin, also use a very light coating of either Emu Oil for Skin or Squalane. 4. In time, add in the hydroxy acids such as LacSal but use the product lightly. |
