It can be used for a post-shower buffing session to remove dead skin cells and allow healthy, young cells to reach the surface, says Gerald Imber, a cosmetic surgeon in New York City. Start at your feet, moving all the way to your shoulders.
“Working in an upward direction will keep skin taut; moving downward encourages sagging,” he says.
