Everyone! Exfoliating is a crucial step in maintaining a healthy complexion. It is the one step that you will notice almost immediate results. It helps maintain your skin between professional treatments. Exfoliation works off the top layers of dead skin cells that accumulate on a daily basis.
There are many ways to properly exfoliate. At home remedies are ideal for weekly exfoliation. Professional services such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels and Retin-A are also options. It is recommended to exfoliate at least once a week. Oily skin types can exfoliate up to three times a week or every other day. Facial scrubs are the most common exfoliant for home use. When choosing one, be sure to choose a gentle, beaded scrub. Cheap scrubs contain larger grains that can tear the skin. Using an exfoliant will not only help maintain the overall appearance of the skin but also decrease the build up of dirt, oil and congestion within the pores. Receiving monthly professional treatments will help generate collagen, break down premature fine lines and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
