Anti Aging Skin Tips

What are those dead skin that peels off after you shawer?

In Korea, they peel off their dead skin by taking a hot bath, and scrubbing their skin with green mittens (anyone know what I'm talking about? It's called uh.... "teh") So, what are those things that peels off? Our dead skin? If so, is it because we're growing new skin underneith?

1. Yes it is dead skin. Everyday your skin dies and microscopic particles fall off. Everyday you are growing new skin cells. This process just speeds up the process to keep your skin feeling soft and new.
2. yeah its dead skin and its pretty much just lying there cuz the new skin is growing. so yeah u got it down =]
3. The above responders said it well.. Those dead skin are called '때' (ddeh) and those mittens are often called '때 수건' (ddeh sugun - towel,) and they come in red too. You can think of how people scrub their faces with cleansers that have small bead-like things in them and how those dead skin cells not only lie in our face, but over our bodies as well.
4. in korean its 때 It's like dirty, dead skin cells which you have to scrub to get off. when it forms together, it's visible and looks dirty. It forms mostly on elbows and places on skin where there are creases. cells die all the time. and new cells and tissue replace it underneath. and then we scrub off the dead, dirty skin cells. hope that helped :D
5. those are bath mitts. i use em too, they come in different fabrics in america, just go to the beauty section of any store or local chemist. i love those things, your skin feels so soft and rejuvenated once you're done. but yea its basically to get all those dead skin cells, and your skin does look 10x cleaner after using one.
