When it comes to glowing, healthy skin, exfoliation is a non-negotiable step in your skincare routine. It's the secret behind smoother texture, brighter tone, and better product absorption. But what exactly is exfoliation, and why does your skin love it so much?
What Is Exfoliation?
Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. Over time, dead cells build up, causing dullness, clogged pores, and uneven skin tone. By sloughing them away, you reveal the fresh, healthy skin underneath.
There are two main types of exfoliation:
- Physical exfoliation – Uses tiny granules or beads to manually remove dead skin.
-
Chemical exfoliation – Uses AHAs, BHAs, or enzymes to dissolve dead cells.
Benefits of Exfoliating Your Skin
-
Brighter Complexion
Exfoliating clears the skin of dull and dead cells, giving you an instantly fresher and more radiant appearance. -
Unclogged Pores
By removing impurities, exfoliation helps prevent acne and blackheads caused by buildup in pores. -
Improved Skin Texture
Regular exfoliation can smooth rough patches and create an even skin surface. -
Enhanced Product Absorption
When your skin is clear, your serums and moisturisers can penetrate better and work more effectively. -
Boosted Circulation
The massaging motion during exfoliation promotes blood flow, helping the skin look plump and healthy.
