Did you know exfoliation is a key step in your skincare routine, along with keeping the skin hydrated? Without these critical components, you’re comprising your glow, clarity and skin health.

Exfoliating the skin eliminates damaged and dead skin cells, exposing smoother, refined, and brighter skin. Our skin is naturally programmed to shed and renew itself continuously, with an average of 30,000 dead skin cells sloughing off every minute. This process strengthens the skin's protective barrier, which is its top most layer.

However, various factors such as makeup, sweat, age, stress, environmental factors, dehydration, and inadequate sleep can slow down the skin's renewal process. Exfoliation helps maintain the momentum of this renewal process, allowing us to achieve our healthiest skin.

Hydration, like exfoliation, is crucial in maintaining resilient skin. Adequate moisture is essential for the skin to perform vital functions such as cell renewal. Therefore, hydration and exfoliation complement each other and work in tandem to promote a healthy skin barrier.

In contrast, when the skin lacks hydration, it can lead to several issues, including premature aging and skin sensitivity. Dehydration can also trigger excess oil production, congestion, and breakouts as the skin attempts to compensate for the lack of water.

Healthy and radiant skin can be achieved by exfoliating and keeping the skin hydrated. Fortunately, incorporating these steps into your skincare routine can be effortless with Dermalogica's Hydro Masque Exfoliant.
