How is Exfoliation Beneficial?

Through consistent exfoliating, your skin can avoid clogged pores and acne. If you continue to exfoliate, as you get older, you will notice an increase in collagen that will cause your skin to glow and look younger! It is recommended to exfoliate your skin at least twice a week to scrub away all the dead skin without interfering with your skin’s natural oils.

Through exfoliation, you will improve your skin in several ways:

  • Prevent Acne – Our skin goes through a lot everyday. From sweating, sun damage, dead cell build up and makeup application, it’s easy to clog our pores. Exfoliating is the best method in unclogging your pores and getting out all that stubborn debris from daily activities.

  • Increase Blood Circulation – Consistently using small circular motions with a deep lather, boosts your skin’s health and allows oxygen and blood to flow more into the skin cells.

  • Look Younger – As we get older, our skin begins to change and dead skin cells build up more. This causes our skin to look more dry and dull. Consistent exfoliation does a better job of preventing build up and making your skin look softer.

  • Keep your Skin Hydrated – When we don’t exfoliate our skin, it becomes more dehydrated and harder for our skin to absorb moisturizers and serums that keep our skin hydrated. As you begin your exfoliation routine, you will see a difference in moisturizer applications as it will absorb into the skin more effectively.

    • How to Exfoliate and How Often?

    Before starting your exfoliation routine, it is important to consider your skin-type and sensitivity. Every skin type is different, so not all exfoliation routines will be the same. It is important to ask yourself if your skin is:

  • Oily
  • Dry
  • Sensitive
  • Normal

    • Some people have more than one skin type. Knowing yours can guide you to choose the best products and methods. Once you are aware of your skin needs, you can start your own exfoliation home routine. When exfoliating, be gentle on your skin. Use warm water to soak your skin and exfoliate in small circular motions for 30 seconds. If your exfoliant has any active ingredients, try leaving it on for 3-5 minutes to boost the exfoliating benefits. Rinse off with warm water and finish off with your favorite moisturizer.

    A few items to add to your exfoliation kit:

  • Exfoliating sponge – Lathering up a sponge with soap and warm water is a gentler process in exfoliating your skin.

  • Exfoliating silicone brush – Use a sonic silicone brush to gently remove layers of dead skin. Gentle vibrations and a textured brush head will help loosen dead skin cells for a softer, smoother appearance.

  • Chemical Exfoliate – Are scrubs too harsh for your skin type? Try substituting out your scrub for a creamy cleanser with alpha hydroxy acids to boost cell turnover.

  • Your favorite moisturizer – Exfoliating your skin is not complete without moisturizer. When you exfoliate, your other beauty products are able to work better on your skin and result in healthier looking skin.

    • Consistently exfoliating and adding it every now and then to your facials, will make your complexion and skin look more beautiful and make your future self thank you!
