Exfoliation: The Single Factor For Flawless Skin?

You may have been wondering, what's the big fuss about exfoliating anyways? Here we will take you through why exfoliating might be one of the most important things you do for your skin.

Aside from sloughing away dry and dead skin, a regular exfoliation habit increases the skin's radiance, clarity, and youthfulness, and that's just a tip of the ice berg.

Here are 7 reasons why you should make exfoliation a habit;

1. It unclogs pores

2. It makes other skincare products penetrate deeper thereby enhancing their effectiveness

3. Exfoliation improves radiance and promotes glow

4. It prevents acne and blemishes

5. Cell turn over is improved by exfoliation

6. Exfoliation improves circulation and lymphatic drainage

7. It stimulates the synthesis of collagen

As for how often you need to exfoliate, that depends on your skin/skin condition. Some people prefer physical exfoliants over chemical ones and vice versa, but it's up to your specific needs. Luckily, we have some general guidelines.

We recommend that people with rosacea exfoliate once a week. Normal skin can handle three to seven times a week with a gentle exfoliant, but cut that number back if you're using something more intense. For example, if you use a chemical exfoliant, aim for one to three times per week. If you use a physical exfoliant like a scrub, aim for three to four times per week. Just listen to your skin and it's needs.

Now that you're inspired to make exfoliation a habit,
