Here's some facts about the benefits of exfoliating your skin:
Help to boosts circulation and unclog pores.
Help to return the skin renewal process to its prior levels
Dissolves dulling skin debris and reduce telltale signs of premature aging.
Exfoliation process helps to wash away dry flaky skin, leaving the skin smoother and healthier.
Dry Skin
Whether using exfoliants at home or undergoing a series of treatments in the skin care center, it is very important to remember that the skin will become more vulnerable to sunlight.Always use a complete sun block with minimum SPF 15 to help shield the skin after the treatment.
Which Type is Right For Me?
The most popular type of exfoliation involves using alpha hydroxy acids plus the fruit enzymes Papain and Bromelain.
For people with especially dull, leathery appearance and exhibiting signs of premature aging (dry skin), a more powerful combination of alpha hydroxy acids and Retinol(Vitamin A) may be recommended instead.
How Much is Enough?
Unfortunately, too many people become overly enthusiastic about the results of their exfoliation, and begin to combine different types and different brands of exfoliants altogether.
If you use either Retin-A, Accutane or any other prescribed exfoliant, avoid subjecting your skin to any additional exfoliant as it may cause damage to your skin.
Although the benefits of exfoliation can be obvious, as a general rule of thumb, only use the products recommended by your skin care therapist, and do not apply them more than suggested.
