Exfolliation is important because it will remove the dead skin cells that make your skin look dull, gray and lifeless. The dead skin naturally collects and just sits on the top layer of our skin with no place to go but into the pores of the skin. This can create pimples, blackheads, and even enlarge the pores more.
Remove the dull, gray, and lifeless dead skin by exfoliating at least once a week and leave your skin fresh, healthy looking and vibrant! Once a week is good, but so you know, twice a week is even better.
There are 2 type of exfolliation: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical exfolliation is basically scrubbing your skin, and this is what most people think of when exfolliating. Chemical exfoliation is a gentle process in which certain chemicals and enzymes dissolve the dead skin cells naturally.
Chemical exfoliation is becoming even more popular today particularly for those of you with rosacea and extremely sensitive skin.
When exfoliating your skin, here are a few points you will want to remember:
- Be gentle with your skin
- Never exfoliate more that 3 times a week, more than that will overwork your skin.
- Use up and outward motion when applying products to your face.
- Follow the instructions, and don't exfoliate longer than the bottle calls for.
- If your skin is extremely blemished, has a rash or is damaged in any way do not exfoliate with scrubs, you will damage your skin even more if you do so.
Don't be alarmed if your skin should flush after exfoliating, this is due to the oxygen rushing back into the blood cells and stimulating the cell rejuvenation. This action speeds the rate at which skin cells are created and will lighten your skin's appearance. Exfoliating your skin will help to lighten age spots, fade scars, and is a natural way to a youthful appearance.
