Exfoliate Your Way to a Beautiful, Shiny & Radiant Skin!
One of the most fascinating facts about the skin is that it regularly sheds off dead skin cells to give way for new ones.
But often times, these dead skin cells don’t completely shed off. They get stuck to the surface of your skin and give it a very dull appearance. These dead skin cells clog your pores, lead to flaky patches and make the absorption of skincare products and treatments more difficult.
This is why exfoliating is highly necessary, whether it’s a spa treatment or a face/body scrub used regularly. It completely gets rid of dead skin cells and enhances the absorption of topical skincare products for a brighter and healthier skin.
A radiant skin undeniably gives more confidence and boosts self-esteem, which takes you one step closer to a stable emotional and mental health. It can also be therapeutic as it often aids relaxation, promotes rest and serves as a stress reliever.
How can exfoliating improve the appearance of your skin?
Aside from getting rid of dead skin cells, exfoliating increases blood circulation, promotes skin elasticity which leads to a firmer skin, and minimizes the appearance of breakouts, fine lines and related sagging.
While exfoliation can be done at any time of the day, the skin self-repairs at night and leaves a layer of dead skin cells which makes exfoliating in the morning more ideal. If you have sun sensitive skin, exfoliating at night is a better option as it gives the skin enough time to cover up before going under the sun, and prevents sunburn.
Exfoliating should be done after the use of cleansing products; to get rid of residual sweat, dirt, oil or makeup remnants from your skin and should be followed by the use of sunscreen, moisturizers or serums; to lock in moisture and minimize sunburn or irritation.
Keep in mind that daily exfoliating strips the skin of its natural oils, which can also cause breakout, stinging, redness, irritation and increased sensitivity, because the top layer of the skin is being removed before it is allowed to heal. Therefore, exfoliating should be done 2-3 times weekly, rather than daily.
It is also important to know that products or treatments used for exfoliating the body are different from those used on the face as it is more sensitive. With due diligence applied in following these processes, exfoliating restores smooth, ultrasoft, supple skin as well as streamlined body and contours. Revived and revitalized... it leaves your skin feeling like new.
While several ingredients play diverse roles as exfoliants, some of the most popular ingredients to consider include sugar, oat, honey, shea butter, coffee, orange, papaya, avocado, pure plant oils, etc.
