Exfoliation is a way of removing dead skin cells from the skins surface, this can be achieved by using abrasive scrubs or chemicals which contain special acids that dissolve and remove dead skin.
Exfoliation is important because as we age, the process of cell regeneration slows and our bodies become slower at shedding skin cells and regenerating new ones, this can leave our skin with a build-up of cells making it look dull, rough and dry and can result in excess oil and clogged pores, which lead to blemishes and acne.
When we exfoliate the dead skin cells away it uncovers fresh new cells below, allowing moisturizing products to penetrate more deeply, making them more effective and leaving you with healthy looking complexion.
Whichever exfoliator you choose should depend on your skin type and sensitivity, if you suffer from extremely sensitive skin or severe acne this need’s careful consideration and speaking to a professional aesthetician can help you choose the method best and most appropriate for you.
We all want that youthful glow…..so what you waiting for, get exfoliating!!
