What are the main benefits of exfoliating your skin?

Keep in mind that cleaning your skin and exfoliating your skin are two different things. Naturally, it’s important to wash your face on a daily basis. But, in most cases, the soap and water used to cleanse the skin on your face doesn’t penetrate it to the point where it is completely free of all dirt and oil. Your face’s pores are tiny little holes. However, they have the ability to store a lot of dirt and oil that don’t allow your face to enjoy a completely refreshed and smooth look.

That is, of course, unless you’re exfoliating the skin. By definition, exfoliation goes beyond removing dirt and oil to also remove old, dead skin cells on the skin’s surface. Exfoliation treatments such as microdermabrasion are excellent ways to ensure fresh, glowing skin. But what are the main benefits of exfoliating your skin?

Microdermabrasion gives you a bright, glowing and even complexion.

As mentioned, exfoliation involves the removal of dead skin. What this does is more than just a cleaning job. It helps to smooth out skin that may be suffering from an uneven texture. The removal of dead skin means that your face gets to enjoy a smoother, fresher feel and appearance. This is especially important when your face is covered in makeup on a regular basis.

“Because it deeply exfoliates, microdermabrasion can improve the tone and texture of your skin,” writes Angela Palmer on VeryWellHealth.com, “If you have a series of treatments done (which is what is recommended) you should notice your skin tone evening out. You may see a softening of fine lines and superficial wrinkles. Microdermabrasion can also help fight sun damage and make anti-aging creams more effective.”

Exfoliation also reduces acne and breakouts.

Most of us have endured the ever-unpopular adolescent stage that involves having a face full of zits. But so many more of us continue to put up with pimples well into our adulthoods. Exfoliation is a great way to unclog pores to remove excess oil. As a result, acne and breakouts occur a lot less.

“Acne vulgaris or acne is the most common skin disorder in the world. Estimates suggest that acne affects almost 650 million teens and adults worldwide,” reports Olivia Kelava on Healthline.com, “Chemical exfoliants, like toners and peels, use chemicals and enzymes to renew your skin and improve its texture and appearance. Some chemical exfoliants are specifically formulated to be non-irritating and gentle enough for acne-prone skin.”

We look forward to seeing you and your mom soon!
