Exfoliation is necessary because it allows the shedding of the top layers of the dermis to readily allow the fresh skin to breathe and function without any unwanted barriers. ... Dead skin cells can also reduce the penetration and absorption of your skincare routine products like moisturizers, serums and sunscreen.
You can use either a physical exfoliator (which is a grainy-textured substance that massage into your skin to manually remove surface debris) or a chemical exfoliator (which is a combination of safe-for-skin acids that chemically dissolve debris), just enjoy the movement. There's just something about it that feels refreshing and freeing—almost like It will setting my complexion back to its natural, fresh state.
As for how often you should be exfoliating, listen to your skin. Some people prefer chemical exfoliants over physical ones and vice versa, but it's up to your specific needs. Luckily, we have some general guidelines. We recommend that people with rosacea exfoliate once a week. Normal skin can handle three to seven times a week with a gentle exfoliant, but cut that number back if you're using something more intense. For example, if you use a chemical exfoliant, aim for one to three times per week. If you use a physical exfoliant like a scrub, aim for three to four times per week. "Look for tiny finely milled grains such as flax seeds and rice, they should not scratch and damage skin."
Happy Exfoliating.
Love,
