Exfoliation is the process of eliminating dead skin from the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of your skin. It helps improve skin texture, challenges the aging process, improves moisture absorption, helps get rid of dark spots, and reduces the symptoms of acne and breakouts. Exfoliation gives your skin the natural glow and instant boost that it deserves. It’s important to exfoliate every 1-3 days based on the thickness of the skin. If you have thicker skin you should exfoliate 3 days out of the week, medium thickness 2 days, thin only about one day. As you get older your skin begins to thin out, so your skin turnover begins to become longer. When you’re a baby your skin turnover is about 14 days, for teenagers is about every 28 days, for adults, it's about 28- 42 days. For ages, 50 years and older turnover are up to 48 days. As you can see it’s so important to exfoliate however, it's important not to over-exfoliate. Some companies will have daily exfoliants telling you to “use after cleanser” when in reality you really shouldn’t! If your skin turnover takes longer than 28 days you should only exfoliate about 1-2 times a week, 2 if you have thicker skin. If you have any questions feel free to contact us!
