Exfoliation is a method that is used to remove the dead skin cells and leave behind the fresh new skin cells. This gives the skin improved quality and appearance. Skin cells can become old and harden and lose moisture and the appearance of the skin then becomes dull and dry and the pores can become clogged. Exfoliation removes these old, dry, dull skin cells and stimulates the renewal of fresh, healthy skin cells leaving the skin looking young and smooth.
Physical exfoliants use a brush or a gentle abrasive to cause friction to remove the dead skin cells from the skin's surface. There are different exfoliant products designed to suit different skin types.
Chemical exfoliants use Alpha Beta Hydroxy acids, glycolic acid, enzymes and retinal to remove dead skin cells. These substances dissolve the intercellur that attaches the skin cells to the skin surface. For the best and safest results with chemical exfoliants an Esthetician will perform professional facial treatments over a period of six weeks. Enzymatic and hydroxyl acids are safe for home use and are available for personal use in the home. Glycolic acid is widely used in many skin care products.
