What you need to know about exfoliation

What is exfoliating?

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. There are two types Physical (scrubs), Chemical (acids).

Why should you exfoliate?

Old skin cells build up on the surface and causing dull, rough and dry skin in addition to clogging pores causing acne. When you exfoliate you're removing the dead skin cells that cause clogging and opening your pores to allow moisturizers and skincare products to absorb better.
