Beauty Wednesday: Smooth Operators | Lucille Roberts Health ...

Are you suffering from the lizard syndrome? When your skin has endured severe weather conditions and starts?to flake and peel. Whether it is extreme heat or extreme cold, the skin, especially on the face, reacts to these weather conditions ?in the worst ways.

During the cold months the skin naturally tends to become drier than usual and ?produces flakes that makes it look unhealthy.?This is because in the winter months there is a lack of moisture in the air. Whereas, after you have spent your vacation sunbathing?on that picturesque beach, your skin also damages. In this situation the result is excessive peeling because of the?over-consumption?of?Vitamin?D.

The solution for these skin issues is exfoliation!?This?remedy will make all ?those ?flakes and dry patches disappear! In other words, the dead cells that have piled up on the skin?s surface would vanish and the result is soft, smooth skin!

Typically your ?exfoliating regimen should be done once a week. A factor that you have to take into consideration for exfoliating is?your skin type.

• If you have sensitive skin and it gets easily irritated: ?once a week is your max
• If you have really dry skin: ?twice a week is your max
• If you have normal skin: ?once a week is your max
