Exfoliation is an often neglected but essential step in any skincare routine. It removes dead skin cells that dull the complexion and prevent treatments from penetrating effectively.
The benefits of exfoliation
By removing dead cells, exfoliation stimulates cell renewal, refines skin texture, reduces enlarged pores, and prevents ingrown hairs. The skin is immediately softer, smoother, and more luminous.
Mechanical vs chemical exfoliation
Mechanical exfoliation uses grains (sugar, salt, crushed kernels) to remove dead cells through friction. Chemical exfoliation uses acids (AHA, BHA) to dissolve the bonds between dead cells. Sensitive skin will prefer chemical exfoliation, which is gentler.
The right frequency
Exfoliate your face 1 to 2 times a week and your body 2 to 3 times a week. Never exfoliate irritated or damaged skin. After each scrub, immediately apply moisturizer to maximize the penetration of active ingredients.
Regular exfoliation is the secret to skin that breathes, glows, and perfectly absorbs all your treatments. Integrate it into your routine now!
