While you’re out soaking in the last bit of summer, your skin may be struggling to soak up moisture. Exfoliation is a great way to prepare your skin to maintain moisture for the changing seasons.
Dead skin plagues us all, but as you age, your skin’s ability to regenerate slows down and old skin build up increases. This may result in excess oil and clogged pores, leaving skin dull, rough and dry. Removing your dead skin cells helps improve blemished skin, clogged pores and the appearance of breakout scars. Exfoliation also helps dry skin by opening up pores, allowing moisturizing products to penetrate more deeply.
Professionals have various methods of exfoliation to dissolve and remove cells. Fortunately, you can do the same thing in the comfort of your own home. When shopping for exfoliation scrubs, avoid natural, grainy scrubs as they may be more abrasive on your skin. Overall, exfoliation techniques depend on your skin and complexion, so be sure to seek advice from one of our dermatologists when deciding which product is best for you.
