Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. It helps to keep the skin smooth, unclog pores, and promote cell turnover, which can make your skin look healthier and more radiant.
How to Promote Exfoliation
Use Exfoliating Products: Incorporate scrubs, chemical exfoliants (like AHA/BHA), or exfoliating masks into your routine.
Brush or Sponge: Use a gentle exfoliating brush or sponge to physically remove dead skin.
Chemical Exfoliants: These include acids like glycolic acid (AHA) or salicylic acid (BHA), which help break down dead skin cells.
Stay Hydrated: Drinking water helps maintain skin elasticity and natural cell turnover.
Moisturize: After exfoliating, always follow up with a moisturizer to lock in hydration and protect your skin barrier.
