WHY YOU SHOULD INTRODUCE EXFOLIATION INTO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE

Exfoliation is the removal of dry/dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and is one of the most important aspects of your home skincare routine for face and body.

Exfoliation not only helps many skin problems, it also increases blood circulation, which in turn helps you to achieve healthy and glowing skin.

How Often Should You Exfoliate?
Exfoliating twice a week is suggested as part of a good home care regime – both the face and body. While it’s important to remove dead skin it’s also important not to strip away too many of your natural oils, so a good balance is essential. Avoid using harsh scrubs, a mild organic scrub is best.

BENEFITS OF INTRODUCING EXFOLIATION INTO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE

1) HEALTHY, GLOWING SKIN
Have you ever wondered how to get bright, glowing skin? Well, an effective exfoliator is the answer. Here’s why…

When applying makeup over dead skin, the surface is un-even. As a result, your skin can appear to be flaky and patchy and even feel rough in texture.

By gently exfoliating dry skin cells, the skin will appear to feel smoother and look refreshed as the cells are newer.
This will also improve the tone of your skin.

2) MINIMISES PORES
Pores are openings in the skin in which hair follicles grow.

Similar to small holes, when there is a build-up of dirt and dead skin, the pore will expand to accommodate for the increase. As a result, this makes your pores larger and more visible to the eye.

Exfoliating removes the dirt in the pores and consequently minimises them.

3) REDUCES BREAKOUTS AND ACNE
Exfoliating is an essential way to manage breakouts and acne. Many of us recognise the importance of cleansing our skin but under-estimate the power of exfoliating.
A deep exfoliation will help to un-clog your pores from excess oil which can lead to breakouts. Therefore, if the excess oil and dirt is removed from the root of the cause, the amount of breakouts will most likely reduce.

It is important to consider that breakouts and acne are not only caused by external factors such as makeup and dirt. There are a number of internal factors which can cause such problems. For example, hormonal imbalances are often directly linked to the health of your skin.

Stress and a bad diet are other factors which can lead to an increase in spots.

4) HIDES WRINKLES
Unfortunately, when you place makeup over dead skin cells, the makeup will not just miraculously blend into the skin’s surface. It will sit on top. We call this the ‘layering effect’. As a result, all fine lines will be magnified. By removing the dead cells, wrinkles are less-exaggerated. Ultimately, exfoliating fights aging… or at least it hides it!

5. ALLOWS ABSORPTION OF OTHER PRODUCTS
The reason that exfoliating is so crucial to your skin’s wellbeing is because without it, all of the other steps in your skincare routine will not be as effective.
If the pores are blocked, all of the other skincare products that you use won’t be able to successfully penetrate the deeper layers of your skin. By removing dirt, a rich moisturiser can provide the depths of your skin with the best nourishment.

So there you have it. Who knew a gentle scrub could do such wonders to your skin!
