Benefits of Exfoliating your Skin

What is the purpose of exfoliating?…and why is it necessary for me to exfoliate?

Who doesn’t dream about having beautiful, glowing skin? Exfoliation is one of the best ways to improve your skin and get that “Hollywood glow” you’ve always wanted.

We love guiding you in making the most of your skincare products and maximizing the benefits of your skincare routine. To get there, it’s important to first understand the benefits of exfoliating, but first…

What Does Exfoliating Do?

Exfoliation buffs away and removes dead skin cells, keeping your skin silky soft, and smooth.

Every 30 days, your skin sheds dead skin cells, and new skin cells form on the top layers of your skin. If the dead cells do not shed, the skin might become dull, dry, and flaky.

What are the Benefits of Exfoliating?

1. Unclogs Pores

First and foremost, exfoliating your skin effectively unclogs your pores. It sweeps away dead and dry skin and any other debris that may have remained after cleansing. And prevents it from entering your pores and producing stubborn clogs like whiteheads and blackheads, which are two very challenging skin conditions to overcome.

2. Prevents Acne

Unclogging your pores avoids not only whiteheads and blackheads but also prevents other blemishes, including acne. It is suggested to prevent breakouts, but only in a non-irritating and safe way. To put it differently, if you want to reduce acne, don’t scrub your face raw. This will harm your skin and cause many other issues.

3. Helps Other Skincare Products Penetrate Deeper

Because your pores are unclogged, your other skincare products, especially those rich in nourishing ingredients, can penetrate deeper. That’s why, for your moisturizers and serums to work their magic, exfoliation should always be part of your skincare routine. You don’t want your brand-new, expensive face serum to be hindered by dead skin and pore-clogging substances.

4. Evens Skin Tone

Dark spots, rough texture, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars can be highly challenging to manage. Exfoliants remove dry, dead skin while also smoothing the skin’s texture, making it appear more uniform over time.

5. Boosts Circulation and Lymphatic Drainage

Exfoliation offers many benefits, including increased lymphatic drainage for internal cleansing, a type of skin detoxification that removes toxins and other unhealthy substances from the skin. Exfoliation also boosts oxygen-rich blood flow to feed and nurture the skin’s surface, which improves cellular health, which results in glowing, radiant skin. 

6. Increases Cell Turnover

Exfoliation improves the skin’s complexion in another way and increases circulation. It also promotes cell turnover, giving the skin a more radiant appearance. This means the skin preserves new, healthy cells at the surface while eliminating old, dry, or dying cells. In terms of looks, this gives you that dewy, baby-faced complexion that we all desire.

7. Stimulates Collagen Synthesis

Finally, exfoliating helps stimulate collagen formation, which improves the skin’s texture and integrity while also appearing plump, tight, and youthful. Exfoliating has anti-aging advantages and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Exfoliate, and you’ll be one step closer to having silky-soft, glowing skin throughout the year!
