Skin Exfoliation

Skin exfoliation is a natural occurrence when dead skin cells fall and new skin cells are revealed.

We tend to neglect skin exfoliation. Oily skin needs a helping hand because dead skin cells tend to stay on the face due to the sticky properties of oil. On dry skin, when dead skin accumulates, the skin appears dull as well as preventing natural skin exfoliation, and needs moisture. As we age, the skin's natural exfoliation process slows down.

All these problems can be solved by manual skin exfoliation. Removing dead skin cells from your face will not only give you a healthy glow, but over time will help your skin absorb more moisture, reduce acne and fine lines.

You can use mildly abrasive products like silk mitts, wash clothes, an exfoliating mask or scrub. A word to the wise though...choose your exfoliation method carefully as anything too abrasive can irritate your skin even further.
