Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells on the skin’s outer surface.Your skin typically goes through a 28-day cycle, from new cells being born at the bottom of the epidermis to shedding off at the surface. As we get older, this process, called desquamation begins to slow down. Have you noticed your skin get more dull, drier or an increase in texture over the years? This could be why. Exfoliation can help to speed up this decline by increasing cell renewal to give you brighter and smoother skin. Exfoliation can be achieved mechanically or chemically, with the use of tools, scrubs or leave-on treatments and needs to be done for every skin type. |
Whatever your age or skin type, regular exfoliation is important to ensure your skin is fresh and free of pore-clogging debris. However, taking your skin type and condition into account is essential for best results, particularly if you have sensitivities, such as dry skin or acne. Your skin cells undergo a natural turnover every month or so. When this occurs, the outer layer of your skin (the epidermis) sheds and reveals new skin underneath (the dermis). However, sometimes dead skin cells don’t fully shed, creating the appearance of rough, dry skin, enlarged pores and dullness. You can improve your skin’s tone and texture by exfoliating.
