What is Exfoliation and Why do it?
FACTS
Exfoliation means removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. Your skin renews itself constantly, but as cell renewal slows with age, dead cells don’t always shed as efficiently. They stay longer on the surface, which can make skin look dull, feel rough and contribute to clogged pores. Exfoliation helps clear them. That’s all it is.
FUNCTION
Without exfoliation, skin can look dull and feel uneven. Dead cells also show up the moment you apply makeup: foundation and tinted cream cling to dry, flaky patches and highlight texture instead of evening it out. Clear away the excess dead cells and skin looks brighter, feels smoother and makeup goes on more evenly. But exfoliating too often weakens the skin barrier and leaves it dry and irritated, so the rhythm matters as much as the product.
HOW TO
Exfoliate one to three times a week, in the evening, in place of Face Wash. Put the Face Scrubber aside that evening. Face Scrub combines silica spheres, which gently buff dead cells from the surface, with Willow Bark Extract, a plant extract containing salicin. Massage in with light circular movements and rinse with lukewarm water. Always follow with Face Cream, since freshly exfoliated skin needs support for its barrier. Planning to wear makeup? Exfoliate the evening before, not right before you apply it.
