Exfoliation is one of the most powerful steps in any skincare routine, yet it’s often overlooked or misunderstood. Regular exfoliation is key to achieving glowing, healthy skin, and here’s why.

Exfoliation involves the removal of dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. These dead cells can accumulate, leading to a dull complexion, clogged pores, and even breakouts. By exfoliating regularly, you help your skin shed these cells, revealing the fresh, vibrant skin underneath. This not only enhances your skin’s natural glow but also allows your skincare products to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.

There are two main types of exfoliation: physical and chemical. Physical exfoliation uses scrubs or brushes to manually remove dead skin cells. While effective, it’s important to choose a gentle product to avoid damaging your skin. Chemical exfoliation, on the other hand, uses acids or enzymes to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily washed away. This method is often more suitable for sensitive skin, as it’s less abrasive.

Exfoliating 1-2 times a week is generally recommended, though this can vary based on your skin type. Over-exfoliating can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to irritation and dryness, so it’s crucial to find the right balance.
