Benefits of exfoliating the skin

Exfoliation is a key step in any skincare routine. Not only does it help keep skin radiant, but it also offers numerous health benefits to the dermis. However, many people are unsure of how to do it correctly or which products to use. 

In this article, we'll tell you how to exfoliate your skin properly, the benefits it brings and how to choose the perfect products for you. Stay tuned!

How to exfoliate the skin?

Exfoliating the skin is one of the fundamental parts of facial treatments, as it is essential to remove dead skin cells and allow the skin to breathe, but it is important to do it correctly to avoid irritation. 

The first thing you need to know is how often to exfoliate. This will depend on your skin type, as your skin will tolerate it to a greater or lesser extent. To do this, you don't need to apply a lot of pressure: a gentle massage in circular motions for one or two minutes will do. If you overdo it, you run the risk of irritating your skin.

It is also important to be aware of the types of exfoliator that exist:

• Physical exfoliators: these include products with granules that, when applied, scrape the skin.

• Chemical exfoliators: these are gentler and more suitable for sensitive skin, due to the ingredients they contain.

  
  

Remember that after exfoliating the skin, it is of utmost importance to moisturise it in order to soothe the complexion and keep it soft.

7 benefits of exfoliating the skin

Exfoliating your skin on a regular basis offers multiple benefits. Here are some of the most important benefits:

1. Removes dead skin cells: Over time, dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of the skin, making it look dull and lifeless. Exfoliation helps remove these cells and leaves skin looking brighter and smoother.

2. Improves skin texture: Exfoliation stimulates cell turnover, which contributes to a smoother, more even texture. This is especially helpful for those with rough or uneven skin due to the build-up of dead skin cells.

3. Prevents and treats acne: Removing impurities and dead skin cells helps prevent clogged pores, which can prevent the formation of blackheads and blackheads. BHA scrubs, such as salicylic acid, are particularly effective in treating acne.

4. Stimulates blood circulation: By exfoliating, blood circulation in the skin is also improved. This can result in a more radiant, fresher and healthier looking face.

5. Improves absorption of skin care products: Exfoliating the skin facilitates the absorption of moisturising products and anti-ageing treatments by removing barriers created by dead skin cells.

6. Reduces the appearance of blemishes and scars: By removing the outermost layer of skin, it encourages the regeneration of new cells that can correct imperfections and give the skin a more even tone. 

7. It provides a feeling of freshness and well-being, leaving your skin feeling clean and rejuvenated. It's a great way to relax and feel good, especially if you use products with natural, soothing ingredients.
