The importance of exfoliation

Proper exfoliation removes the barrier of dead skin cells clogging the skin and uncovers fresh new cells below. This opens the way for moisturising products to penetrate more deeply into the skin, which makes them more effective. in short a regular exfoliating routine will leave your skin looking fresh and healthy.

Desquamation is the body's natural process of exfoliation, or shedding or dry, old hardened skin cells so new cells can come to the surface. In an oily skin condition, desquamation can be slowed, as oily skin acts as a glue that holds dead skin cells to the surface. This can contribute to clogged follicles, leading to the build up of acne bacteria which stimulates the production of breakouts.

Exfoliation is especially helpful to those with oily skin. In addition to smoothing, improving skin tone and enhancing skins receptiveness of oily controlling ingredients, exfoliation helps rid oily skin of dulling skin cells to help keep skin clear.

Your exfoliation regime will depend heavily upon your professional skin analysis performed by a skin therapist.
