WHAT IS
EXFOLIATION?
Exfoliation is the
removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skin’s outermost surface.
Exfoliation is the natural shedding process of the skin. Every 30 days our skin
gets a new layer of skin cells. The skin cells are born at the basal cell
layer, the lowest layer of the epidermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer
of the skin, the one you can see and touch. The skin cells start out at the
basal cell layer nice and plump and around. They journey upward through the
layers of the epidermis until they reach the stratum corneum or skin’s surface.
As they travel upward, they flatten out and are eventually sloughed off. The
entire cycle takes about 30 days.

As we age, the
process of cell turnover slows down. Cells start to accumulate unevenly on the
skin’s surface, giving it a dry, rough and dull appearance.

Exfoliation is
beneficial because it removes these dead, dry, dulling cells that are holding
on, revealing the fresher, younger skin cells beneath. This shedding of the
outer layer unclogs pores, keeps skin clean and helps reduce acne breakouts.
Also, the layer of dead, dry cells acts as a barrier beneficial to skin serums
and moisturizers. Once this layer is removed, your skin will absorb other
skincare products such as serum and moisturizer effectively.
