Exfoliation

Using a good exfoliation product on your skin will give you immediate results. Your skin will feel instantly smoother and softer. This is the result of having removed the top layer of dull, dead skin cells that are part of the natural cell turnover process.

Exfoliating away the upper layer of dead skin cells with the proper facial scrub helps prevent pores from becoming clogged, which will minimize acne and other skin blemishes. Removing these dead cells will also minimize fine lines by removing the thin layer of skin that accentuates these lines.

If your skin type is dry, you should use an abrasive type of exfoliation product such as microdermabrasion cream. If you have oily skin, use a fruit acid or glycolic acid type of exfoliation product. And after any exfoliation procedure, be sure to use a quality skin moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid.

Depending on the strength of the product and the tolerance of your skin, you can exfoliate either every day or 2-3 times per week. For example, a 10% glycolic acid gel cleanser can be safely used on a daily basis. Microdermabrasion Cream should be used 1 to 2 times weekly. A 15% Fruit Acid exfoliation gel can be used 2 to 3 times per week.
