What is Exfoliation
Exfoliation is a cornerstone of skincare, focusing on removing dead skin cells from the outermost layer, the Stratum Corneum, to reveal a healthier, more vibrant complexion. As the skin naturally regenerates over a 28-day cycle, dead cells can accumulate, dulling the skin’s appearance. Regular exfoliation aids in breaking down these cells, accelerating skin renewal, and maintaining a youthful glow.
There are two primary exfoliation methods: Physical Exfoliation, involving scrubs or brushes, and Chemical Exfoliation, which uses acids like AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs. While physical exfoliation can risk skin damage, chemical exfoliants gently dissolve cell bonds for effective and safer results. Popular acids such as Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Salicylic Acid each cater to specific skin needs, from anti-aging to acne treatment.
Exfoliation not only improves texture and tone but also enhances the absorption of skincare products, making it an essential step in any routine for radiant, healthy skin.
