Exfoliating is a major part of skincare. However, it is usually dismissed as unnecessary because some people aren’t fully aware of exactly what it does to your skin. You could use other skincare products like toners, moisturizers, sunscreen, etc., but if you leave out the exfoliation step, you may not get the best out of your skincare routine.
Frequently exfoliating your skin has numerous benefits, including breaking down dry and dead skin, thus leaving your skin smooth and free of dirt and debris. This way, even your other products can properly penetrate your skin and serve their purpose. If you’d like to know more,
here are a few amazing benefits of exfoliating your skin.
1. It clears out your pores
After days of rubbing lotion and sunscreen and putting on makeup, your pores are inevitably susceptible to clogging. Clogged pores are responsible for white and blackheads, acne, pustules and other skin irritations.
Exfoliating your skin helps you unclog your pores and keep your skin free from dirt. The exfoliation process helps to scrub off dry and dead skin while at the same time preventing oil and dirt from getting into your pores. People who struggle with black and white heads on their
skin can attest that it is one of the most difficult skin issues to tackle. Preventing these problems early on is easier than trying to cure them later. To make things a bit more interesting, you can try a CBD-based exfoliating scrub from the OTO Skin Care range.
It Helps to Reduce Cellulite
Exfoliation is believed to contribute to reducing the appearance of cellulite on the calves, thighs, stomach, and other areas of your skin. By gently scrubbing the skin‘s surface, exfoliation can help improve blood circulation and remove dead skin cells, which may contribute to smoother skin texture and a temporary reduction in the visibility of cellulite. However, it’s important to note that exfoliation is not a permanent solution and may provide only temporary effects. For more comprehensive and lasting results, combining exfoliation with other treatment options, such as specialized creams, massages, or professional therapies like red light therapy, could be considered. As with any skincare approach, consulting with a dermatologist or skincare professional is advisable to determine the most suitable regimen based on individual needs and goals.fca
2. It makes way for other skincare products to be more effective
Exfoliating will make it easier for your skin to respond well to other skincare products. Since all the debris, dirt, and dead skin is removed, it makes way for other products to come in direct, uncontaminated contact with your skin. It also makes it easier for these products to penetrate the skin’s surface. There’s no need to use moisturizers, serums, growth factors, etc., if they cannot get past the surface of your skin. The nutrients and ingredients in those products need to penetrate deep into your skin to be effective.
3. It helps even your skin tone
Surprisingly, exfoliation helps with acne scars, hyperpigmentation and dark spots. It’s almost shocking that scrubbing rough skin off your face can help with colour correction. Using an exfoliating scrub frequently helps remove dead skin while smoothing and deep cleaning the skin. After a while, your skin will start to even out and look uniform all around.
If you work a relatively stressful job and feel too tired to do a whole skincare routine before bed, you can try quick and easy-to-use products like toners, masks and leave-on exfoliants. Applying these after wiping off your makeup won’t take as much time as doing a whole step-by-step routine. In the case of the leave-on exfoliant, just rub it in and leave it on overnight. If you do this daily, it will eventually brighten and tone your skin, leaving it smooth and even.
