Some people don’t realize the importance of exfoliating their skin.

  • It removes dry/dead skin that are blocking your pores

  • It is also a good way of improving blood circulation

  • It may give the appearance of looking younger because your skin is smoother

  • If you have scares, while exfoliating might not make them disappear completely they can help them fade

  • Minimizes pores

  • Reduces breakouts and acne

Exfoliating is something that can be done a few times a week. There are different things you can use to exfoliate. For example, you can use a glove or a stick. Exfoliating can work anywhere like you face, body, or under your arms.

 

Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
