Exfoliation is an important element of skin health as it promotes a healthy functioning skin and protective skin barrier. Exfoliation supports the skin’s cell renewal process – a mechanism in place to replace dead, tired skin cells with fresh, new healthy ones.
Cell renewal can easily slow down. Age, dehydration, oil, sweat and makeup can all cause sluggish cell renewal. By giving this natural process a boost, we guarantee our skin barrier remains resilient. Exfoliating also helps keep pores clear, brightens and smoothes the skin, plus, with dead dulling surface skin removed, your skincare will be absorbed more effectively.
However, if you use your exfoliant incorrectly, or have one that’s not right for your skin, that could lead to your skin being upset. And this is where hesitation around exfoliation comes from. While exfoliation is essential for softer smoother skin, it’s important to find the right exfoliant for you and understand how it should be used, either daily or weekly. This way you'll avoid over-exfoliation and get the best benefits from a product that is suitable for YOU.
