Did you know our skin produces about one million skin cells every 40 minutes? That's over 36 million skin cells per day! As these cells renew from the deepest layer of the epidermis, they eventually harden, lose moisture, and shed from the surface—a process known as desquamation. This cycle typically takes about 30 days, but as we age, it slows down, making exfoliation a crucial part of your skincare routine.
Why Exfoliate?
Our skin is constantly exposed to pollutants and microorganisms that can cling to its surface. These superficial cells don't always shed effectively, leading to clogged pores and a dull complexion. Here's why exfoliation is essential:
The Benefits of Exfoliation:
- Increased Absorption of Skincare Products: Removing excess surface cells allows skincare ingredients to penetrate more effectively.
- Boosts Circulation: The massaging action of applying a body scrub enhances blood circulation and lymph flow, encouraging detoxification by releasing toxins and fat deposits.
- Banishes Blemishes: Regular exfoliation prevents clogged pores, reducing acne, pigmentation, and ingrown hairs, revealing fresher, healthier skin.
- Pre-Waxing Preparation: Exfoliating a couple of days before waxing removes dead cells, allowing the wax to work more effectively.
- Improved Self-Tanning: Exfoliating before applying self-tanner ensures an even application, preventing blotchy patches where dead skin cells accumulate.
