The immediate goal of exfoliating is not to harm your skin or “peel off” pimples and dark marks. The goal is to gently remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.
The primary goal of exfoliation is to induce cell turnover. Cell turnover is the natural process of shedding dead skin cells and producing new ones in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. By removing the surface layer your treatment products will penetrate more efficiently to help to unclog pores and prevent breakouts. This process helps to maintain healthy skin and is essential for skin renewal and regeneration.
The Keyword is maintain! Gently exfoliating is important for maintaining healthy skin. Your skin typically takes around 28 days for skin cell turnover to occur, although this process slows down depending on factors like age and skin type. Responsibily exfoliating 1-2 times a week should reveal a healthy smooth and brighter complexion.
Pick the best exfoliant for your skin concerns:
Amandola Milk Exfoliating Cleanser is ideal for Combination to Dry skin with a focus on Pigmentation and Grade 1-4 Inflamed/ Non-Inflamed Acne breakouts.
Vital C Hydrating Enzyme is ideal for Dry or Imbalanced skin with a focus on sensitivity, brightening, and hydration.
Clear Cell Salicylic Clarifying Pads are ideal for Oily Skin with Inflamed Grade 2-4 Acne. This should only be used 1-2x a week with no other active products.
