Exfoliate! Exfoliate! Exfoliate!

All the moisturizing in the world isn't gonna help if you don't get rid of those dead skin cells first! I use Dr. Denise's glycolic acid pads, but alpha hydroxy acid works too. THEN use the best moisturizer you can find - I have a bank of them. During chemo I continued my exfoliation and used really good moisturizers and my skin stayed very healthy - I never noticed a difference. I could tell it was working because my lips and eyes were soooooo dry - so I had to use tons of lip softeners and eye drops, but my skin still glowed.

Nothing wrong at all with wanting to feel and look healthy!

Love to you all,

Donna
