Exfoliation is a practice that removes dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin (the epidermis) on your face and/or body. You can use a beauty tool such as a loofah or mitt plus a grainy scrub or soap. These are the benefits of exfoliating your skin:
1. It reduces wrinkles
Gentle exfoliation helps to straighten those laughter lines/wrinkles that appear on the skin.
2. It improves skin tone and texture
Skin exfoliation benefits and improves texture and tone for a softer, smoother look and feel. Whether you have dry bits, pigmented bits or blotchy bits; exfoliation can help. Sloughing away old skin cells and allowing fresh ones to peep through gives your complexion a new lease of life.
3. It cleanses pores
Exfoliation for acne-prone skin is a great skincare hack. Unclogging your pores will make them clearer, and make your skin feel smoother. Additionally, your complexion will be less prone to blemishes.
4. It stimulates skin cell renewal
While it’s not possible to turn back the clock, you can reignite the radiance of your youth. The solution is exfoliation, which actively promotes skin cell turnover for brighter, clearer, younger-looking skin.
5. It boosts circulation
Cold weather and central heating can dry out your skin and make it look dull. Scrub well to improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage to revitalise your skin.
