getting the dead skin off

Post by mysecretcurse »

Found a good way!

I make a paste with some water and baking soda. VERY gently use this to scrub off the dead skin. Then I make a toner out of diluted apple cider vinegar (I just eyeball it but Id say maybe 1 part ACV to 3 parts water) and put this all over my face after. Allow to dry.

Then rub some aloe vera or moisterizer of your choice on.

I did this yesterday morning and this is the smoothest my skin has felt since starting zz. Its good to scrub away all that dead, flaking off tissue that the mites destroyed. There is real skin somewhere underneath, and Im gonna keep killing mites, sloughing off the old skin until I get my new skin!

note-be careful not to do this treatment too much! its pretty gentle, I used to do it every night before I started on zz, but if you have very sensitive skin you need to maybe only do it once in awhile, when it feels like the dead skin is really built up. I know its probably not recommended but it really helps me. Plus I feel like it removes the top layer of dead cells and helps the zz penetrate deeper.

Hope it helps!
