What is exfoliation really?

And do I need to do it?

Exfoliation, quite simply, is removing the dead skin cell layer from the surface of your skin.

There are multiple ways to exfoliate:

Physical Exfoliation: Scrubs, resurfacers, and dermaplaning, are a few examples of physical exfoliation. They gently buff the dead skin cells away.

Chemical Exfoliation: These are your peels, alpha/beta hydroxy acids. and retinols. They exfoliate by breaking down the “glue” that holds the dead skin cells together.

Both are effective and you can choose one or the other or both.

Exfoliators are an essential part of your skincare routine – and can be one of the easiest ways to get the most out of your skincare and makeup!
