Immediately after using an exfoliator on your skin, it will glow and feel smooth and soft. That’s because you have buffed away the layer of dead skin cells that accumulate throughout the day. Buffing this dead skin away will keep it from clogging pores which can lead to blackheads, whiteheads and acne. Buffing away the dead skin cells (along with excess dirt and oil) can also help reduce or prevent the appearance of fine lines by gently removing the first layers of skin.
It is no secret that clean skin that has been treated properly throughout its life will age more gracefully, looking young and healthy as it ages. You should be using the appropriate exfoliator on your skin at home twice weekly (unless otherwise advised by your skin care professional) for the removal of dead skin cells, excess dirt and oil to keep your skin glowing and the fine lines at bay. It can also help with acne since it works at keeping pores clean, one of the main culprits of acne. Additionally, it is important to see your skincare professional for more intense exfoliation as recommended by your esthetician.
