Why Exfoliation is Key!

Exfoliation eliminates dead skin cells, polishes skin, refines pores, and smooths wrinkles! Dead skin gets in the way of your glow, clogs pores and keeps skincare products from being absorbed easily for optimal results. Regular exfoliation speeds up your skin’s natural renewal process, helps to keep acne under control, diminishes uneven skin tone & discoloration, softens fine lines & wrinkles, and leaves skin soft & glowing.

Did you know?

Our skin regenerates itself every 28 days to 40 days. We need to make sure the remaining dead skin cells do not sit on the skin for long. That’s why exfoliation is so important in your skincare routine to rejuvenate the skin!

It takes approximately one month for new cells to reach the skin surface, which means the skin you have a month from today will be completely new compared to the skin you have now. As we mature, our skin cell regeneration deteriorates, and the rate of skin cell renewal slows down. Regular exfoliation accelerates the skins natural shedding process. Exfoliation also removes dead skin cells from the surface helping to keep pores from becoming clogged and improves skin tone by reducing dark spots.

There are different forms of exfoliation - mechanical and chemical. Mechanical exfoliation uses a tool such as microdermabrasion to remove dead skin cells. While chemical exfoliation utilizes hydroxy acids to dissolve the bonds that hold skin cells together allowing them to shed, or fruit enzymes such as papain (papaya) and bromelain (pineapple) which work by dissolving protein (keratin) causing a softening effect to the skin and sloughing off of dead skin cells.

Are you skipping exfoliation, a critical skincare step? Get an exfoliation product which helps remove dead skin cells accumulated on the surface of the skin.  

Tip: Apply a home care exfoliation product on your skin one to 3 times a week such as an enzymatic exfoliator that gently digests dead skin cells and dissolves the "glue" that holds them together.

Use a traditional enzymatic exfoliator like SM Banana Enzyme Peel for instantly softer skin. It gently lifts rough texture, which is then rinsed away to reveal healthy, glowing skin.
