Again, it’s the literally sensitive people we’re talking to here: skin-sensitive, scent-sensitive and pocket-sensitive.
I remember the time when I used to hear the word “libag” when I was growing up. Luckily it was from one of the mothers in my neighborhood who, after catching up with her running son who doesn’t want to bathe, would scold him and ask him if he wants to get “libag”. “Libag” is the Filipino term for dead skin cells characterized by dark colored muck found on the skin of a person who doesn’t bathe.
Later on in my late teenage years I encountered, in my collection of fashion and beauty magazines, the term exfoliate.
Exfoliate is the root word of exfoliation which is the act of removing “libag” or dead skin cells.
I realized that “libag” doesn’t just necessarily mean the mucked dark colored dirt one sees on an unbathed body. Dead skin cells encompasses the build up of the almost colorless white flakes (most noticeable in dry skinned people) which humans shed daily and the chemical residue that build up on our skin because of the products we use that isn’t always washed off completely all the time.

Much as the least, cheapest and most effective universal advise, based on readings and personal experience, any doctor can give to a sensitive person when it comes to preventing the occassional and unexplainable breakout is: exfoliate daily.
Exfoliation can be done mechanically and chemically. Since am no doctor of dermatology I would tackle the budget-friendly and user-friendly mechanical way of exfoliating which involves the use of abrasives.
An abrasive that can be used on human skin include the microfiber cloths, adhesive exfoliating sheets, micro-bead facial scrubs, crushed apricot kernel or almond shells, sugar or salt crystals, pumice, sponges, loofahs and brushes.

Another version of this type is the bath mittens but bath gloves is the preferable one. The spaces alloted for the fingers make any grasp of cleanser easier. Because of its shape all areas of one’s body is easily reached making quick showers a possibility. With its retail price ranging from $3 to $5 it is quite surprising why so few have these bath gloves in their bathroom.
Daily exfoliation, specifically with the use of these nylon/polyster bath gloves, makes all the difference. One can immediately sense the cleanliness afterwards with a smooth and radiant skin. Most importantly there is the presence of lesser or almost total absence of acne on one’s face, chest and/or back after only a few days’ use.
The proper cleanser helps and I found one that can be use for the face and the entire body, though I wouldn’t write the brand. Why I believe it works for sensitive people both in performance and, of course, price is what I would reveal in my next article.
